Perfectly Nutritious
Nutritionists recommend that daily meal choices be selected from the three basic food groups:
Protein - for body building.
Bread and cereals - for energy.
Fruits and vegetables - to protect the body.
These form the basis of a balanced diet, which should be supplemented by the intake of sufficient fluids - at least 6-8 glasses per day.
Naturally caffeine-free Rooibos is the perfect beverage for everyday consumption, and can be enjoyed in unlimited quantities. It is also low in tannin, a substance which affects the body's metabolism by interfering with its ability to absorb iron and protein.
In addition, its high content of minerals and polyphenols helps to maintain healthy skin, teeth and bones, and metabolic processes. Rooibos is the ideal choice for people of all ages and from every walk of life.
Perfect for Professionals
During a busy work day, a cup of Rooibos is the ideal thirst-quencher and, as it's naturally caffeine free, it can be enjoyed in unlimited quantities.
When it's cold outside, a cup of steaming, fragrant Rooibos, served with (or without) milk, lemon, sugar or honey, is the perfect soothing refresher.
On a hot, flustered day, Rooibos makes a restoring iced beverage, especially when served sweetened with sugar or honey, or mixed with fruit juice and served with ice cubes.
And to ensure a good night's sleep, a hot cup of Rooibos at bedtime is a superb relaxant.
Perfect for the Sports Enthusiast
Sportsmen and women can enjoy Rooibos as a thirst-quencher after exercise. Either on its own or mixed with fruit juice, Rooibos is delicious and satisfying, and refreshes naturally without the caffeine, sugar or additives contained in most soft drinks.
The mineral content of Rooibos is an added benefit - iron, potassium, zinc, manganese and sodium help to restore the body's natural balance after a strenuous workout.
Perfect for the Creative Chef
Good news for cooks - Rooibos is not only for drinking!
In baking, prepared Rooibos can be used to replace the liquid content of any recipe for added colour and flavour.
Fruit plumped up in Rooibos makes a mouthwatering teatime loaf cake. Rooibos also makes the perfect base for soups, stews and sauces and, as it is a natural tenderiser, it's the perfect choice for marinades.
