Avocado, also known as avocado, has recently attracted much attention on Instagram, but not because of the fruit itself, but because its leaves have attracted many consumers to “hunt”.
This avocado tea is the new core product of Avocado Leaf Tea and is announced to be launched soon to global tea lovers. It is reported that avocado leaves contain high concentrations of polyphenols and flavonoids, which can provide antioxidant-rich drinks. Currently, the company is applying for patent certification for its innovative products.
The leaves of avocado trees have been used for centuries and can be traced back to the medicinal properties of Aztecs and Mayans. Avocado Leaf Tea co-founder Sharon Colona said that in the past few years, researchers have begun to study the benefits of leaves and have achieved impressive results: avocado leaves contain high concentrations of polyphenols and flavonoids. Both of these substances are super antioxidants.
She also said that all the benefits of drinking super antioxidant drinks are related to tea, including helping protect the body from free radicals and helping to lower high blood pressure. Two recent studies have found that avocado seed oil and avocado leaves have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, respectively, and can prevent various diseases such as high dL pressure and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
A study by the University of Nuevo Leon found that the leaves are rich in plant compounds and have significant antioxidant activity to treat certain diseases. The researchers found 41 compounds, mainly phenolic acids and flavonoids, of which 18 were first discovered in this plant material.
Traditionally, avocado leaves have been used as a drug for the treatment of cough, bruises, wound healing and high blood pressure. This study shows that avocado leaves are an important source for the recovery of high antioxidant compounds with high antioxidant activity. These compounds are useful as bioactive antioxidants and have potential applications in the treatment of a variety of diseases and the development of new foods.
The study, published in the journal Molecular, comes at a time when avocados are popular with consumers. Research, people pointed out that the consumption of avocados caused a lot of waste of crop by-products, including seeds, peels and leaves, but these by-products are a source of biologically active compounds, also contains minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, proteins, Fibers and many, functional nutrients such as phenols (such as phenolic acids), which are not further utilized.
These polyphenolic compounds have been reported to be associated with the fight against degenerative diseases, with anti-inflammatory, cholesterol-lowering alcohol and anti-cancer properties. The researchers evaluated the ability of avocado leaves to scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid oxidation. The results showed that its antioxidant activity was statistically significant. Previous studies have shown that the anti-lipid oxidation effect of avocado extract is related to the phenolic content in the peel, seeds and leaves. For example, extracts can prevent lipid oxidation in frozen pork, and studies have confirmed that they are antibacterial drugs.
Avocado Leaf Tea is pre-launched with five different flavors of avocado leaf tea, including chamomile, lemon, peach and premium flavors, each blended with natural avocado leaves. The last one is pure natural avocado leaf tea, and the taste is also in line with organic standards. It is understood that this new tea will debut at the World Tea Expo in Las Vegas, USA.
