That is interesting. I know we still have a lot to learn regarding antioxidant superfoods and their ORAC values.

@ Charmaine in Detroit - you can find matcha at Noble Fish in Clawson - it's not always labeled in English so ask at the counter. You can find Quinoa at Trader Joe's.

To Jodi (and Marie- to whom Jodi posted incorrectly):

Vitamin K is NOT potassium (it is a type of x-quinone - Google it or look up on wikipedia.com).

This common mistake is made because potassium is an element (metal) that is represented by the letter 'K' on the Periodic Table.

MonaVie is a sensational fruit drink from the Amazon with exotic fruits and the Acai Berry being the main ingredient. Drink it, feel it, share it! For more info and literature

Marie - Vitamin K is another name for potassium. Acccording to nutrition profile there is 314.50 mg of potassium per 1/4 cup uncooked Quinoa.

Delicious green matcha tea can be found on line at Muzi Tea. It may seem expensive but you only need a quarter to a half a teaspoon per serving. I like mine best in bottled water (cool or cold) Put in the matcha and shake for 15 seconds. Also I have found high quality matcha at a Japanese import store. where it was very inexpensive

It is true that quinoa is a powerhouse of nutrients. But let's get the actual numbers correct as to the nutritional information.
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa (3 cups after cooked) has the SAME protein as a 3 oz. cooked hamburger pattie (22 gm), not MORE protein.
- The amount of calcium in 1 cup uncooked quinoa is 100 mg and in 1 quart of milk is 1160 mg. How can you say that 1 cup quinoa has more calcium than 1 quart of milk.
- It would be helpful if it were stated that the measurment of quinoa is dry, uncooked. You are comparing it to cooked meat and ready to drink milk. One has to eat 3 cups of cooked quinoa to get the protein you indicate.
Thank you.

My daughter is not successful to maintain a decent blood glucose level because as a pre schooler and primary schooler she has been high on sugary foods and is in the process of weening it off.

The medical profession obviously based on her blood results have put her on insulin which I think is very severe.

Can you suggest some foods which can ween her off high sugars in her blood as a detox and allow her to give decent blood test results to the doctors when her fasting blood glucose test is taken.

Thank you.

I live in Mobile AL. Where can I get Quinoa, Machaa and acqaberries?

I recently discovered Collage +C in a Health Food store. It is wonderful, I feel better than I have in a long time and I even began losing weight.

JUST AS MR. TEJINDER, I TOO WISH TO KNOW THE EQUIVALENT BOTANICAL AND/OR INDIAN NAME FOR ACAI BERRIES, QUINOA AND MAHCHA. THIS IS TO SEE IF THESE ITEMS ARE LOCALLY AVAILABLE.

If you would like more information about MonaVie you can contact me at mlmccr@verizon.net.

Whole Foods sells frozen Acai smoothie packets. This morning I invented the PBJ Smoothie. I added a Tbsp. of peanut butter to my usual banana, acai, plain yogurt and honey. It was wonderful!

Thank you all for sharing this wonderful info I love hearing about (fountain of youth remedies, and products!) Keep up the great work!

Pl. send me Indian names of all three wonder foods.

Regarding Acai - - read what you find here: http://www.powersupplements.com/acai/acai-orac.html

I've read that when you add milk products to tea you won't get the benifit of the antioxidents that are in it.

There is a HEALTHY CHOCOLATE that has an even higher ORAC value and uses the Acai berry in its formula. It's amazing ORAC value per serving (depending on the product) is between 3000 - 4120 ORAC!! One of the products also incorporates Omega 3 fatty acids from plant sources. Check it out at: PerfectHealthyChocolate.com

MonaVie is a health beverage that is made up of 19 super fruits including the acai berry, pomegranate, white grape, nashi pear, acerola, pear, aronia, purple grape, cranberry, passion fruit, banana, apricot, prune, kiwi, blueberry, bilberry, camu camu, wolfberry, and lychee. MonaVie has an orac score of 1027.

Whole Foods has all three of these things. And to Charmaine in Detroit, besides Whole Foods, you can also find these at the Natural Food Patch in Ferndale, which is a fantastic store.

To Elizabeth in Everett, Washington...
There are Whole Foods stores in Seattle. I don't know which one is closest to you, but the one in Greenlake is incredible. It will have these items.

Where can I find Acai berries? How about the other two items mentioned here: 1) Quinoa 2) Matcha

I live north of Seattle in the Everett area. There is a Trader Joe's in the area. You mention Trader Joe's for Quinoa. How about the other two?

Thanks for the information and advice. Would also like to know which is the best of the three: Sweet Potato, Yam or Red Yam. Which of these three will keep the longest? Thanks for your help.

I live in a small community in Northern CA, not far from the capital, Sacramento. Where can I find the three above-described products?

Thanks!

I live in St.John's,Newfoundland,Canada where would I find all three of these products. I'd appreciate you letting me know. Thanks

You can find quinou in any natural food store ( Wild Oats, Whole Foods, Trader Joe, or local) in the bulk section.

Quinoa is a wonderful grain with a consistency similar to couscous when cooked. However, it's important to soak quinoa in tepid water for about 1/2 hour and to rub the grain between your hands to remove the natural bitter tasting coating. Rinse a second time and you're good to go.

I found a Double Green Matcha Tea at Whole Foods made by The Republic of Tea- it's very good and very green.

Were can I get matcha from? I live in Florida and I have never heard of it befor.

Where can I get Matcha, Quinoa & Acai juice in Colorado?

i've heard the freeze dried form of the acai called "opti-acai" has an orac score of 1027 per gram. over 10 times that of blueberries. other acai products cannot claim the same.

please suggest the names in indian language of wonder foods aqaiverry, quinou, matcha

Where can I fine Matcha, and Quinoa? I live in the Detroit area. Thanks in advance for the information.

Per Doctor's orders I can't eat nuts. If nuts were ground, what would be the amount recommended?

Where can I find Matcha? I live in the San Fernando Valley.

I enjoy the crunchy flavor of Quinoa, but I am very sensitive to Vitamin K, and have been unable to find any information about the amount of vit.K in this food. From my body's reaction, I suspect that quinoa has a lot, but I can't find the info! Do you have any information on this? Thanks
