Yerba Mate 2 kits with Bombilla straws & Guampa gourds
Click to View Image Album
WORLD EDIBLES AT WHOLESALE PRICES
You are bidding on 2 sets of TARAGUI Edicion Limitada Yerba Mate Kits from Argentina. Each set of this limited edition contains an original hand-crafted gourd and stainless steel metal bombilla (sipping straw) with 1/2 kg of Taragui yerba mate.The opening bid is $24.00, only $12.00 per set.Mate is served with a metal straw from a shared hollow calabash gourd. The straw is called a bombilla in Latin American Spanish, a bomba in Portuguese, and a masassa in Arabic. The straw is traditionally made of silver. Modern commercially available straws are typically made of nickel silver, called Alpaca, stainless steel, or hollow-stemmed cane. The gourd is known as a mate or a guampa, while in Brazil it has the specific name of ChimarrĂ£o or cuia. Even if the water comes in a very modern thermos, the infusion is traditionally drunk from mates or cuias. Yerba Mate is one of the most
popular drinks in Argentina, Brazil & Paraguay. Yerba Mate
stimulants the central nervous system without any of the negative side
effects of Coffee.
There
are 196 active chemical compounds found in the Yerba Mate plant. Of
those, 144 are also found in green tea. Yerba Mate contains 11
polyphenols. Polyphenols are a group of phytochemicals. Phytochemicals
(phyto- meaning plant) are recently-discovered compounds that act as
powerful antioxidants and are considered to exhibit anti-cancer effects
in mammals by strengthening an organism's natural defenses and
protecting it against cellular destruction . In addition to
polyphenols, Yerba Mate leaves contain saponins, which are
phytochemicals that have been found to specifically stimulate the
immune system and aid the body in protecting against disease.
In 2005, researchers at the University of Illinois studied 25 different
types of mate. They found the tea to contain "higher levels of
antioxidants than green tea"
Each infusion of Mate contains:
Vitamins: A, C, E, B1, B2, Niacin (B3), B5, B Complex
Minerals: Calcium, Manganese, Iron, Selenium, Potassium, Magnesium, Phosphorus
Additional Compounds: Fatty Acids, Chlorophyll, Flavonols, Polyphenols,
Trace Minerals, Antioxidants, Pantothenic Acid and 15 Amino Acids.
One group of investigators from the Pasteur Institute and the Paris
Scientific Society concluded that Yerba Mate contains "practically all
of the vitamins necessary to sustain life." They focused especially on
Pantothenic Acid, remarking that it is "rare to find a plant with so
much of this significant and vital nutrient. . . It is indeed difficult
to find a plant in any area of the world equal to Mate in nutritional
value."
In addition, results from a study done by researchers at the University
of Madrid assert a high content of mineral elements, especially K, Mg,
and Mn, in Mate. Check out our other storefront and auction items for many other interesting foods from around the world!
