Question about camu camu powder.

What color is it supposed to be? 

 

I've been buying this powder for several years and have noticed that it comes in many colors from light-tan to brown and even shades of pink. What can be said about the color? Is one better than the other? It's difficult to find answers on the internet.

 

ThanksSmiley Happy

Re: Question about camu camu powder.

I would buy an organic camu camu. Color can vary by the way it's processed, variety of berry & maybe the drying base used. I have seen them use a maltodextrin or tapioca base in the drying process. I would think that could change the color slightly.

Thanks @Nightowlz,

I think you're right about this. I read somewhere that the color stems from the way it is processed or not. I always buy the organic.

 

And I might add...the organic has to be 100% pure fruit, no fillers.
