Consumed morning and afternoon, Yerba Mate is the beverage of choice for millions of South Americans as a healthful alternative to coffee. In fact, mate bars are as popular in South America as coffee bars are in the United States.
Yerba Mate comes from a small tree native to the subtropical highland of Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina. Brewed from the dried leaves and stemlets, Yerba Mate is known as the national drink of these countries. Yerba Mate was introduced to Europeans by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay and Uruguay. The Guarani Indians drink Yerba Mate to boost immunity, cleanse and detoxify the blood, combat fatigue, control the appetite, reduce stress and eliminate insomnia.
Today, Yerba Mate is growing in popularity and attracting the attention of American scientists and consumers for its refreshing taste and health benefits. Of the 196 natural compounds found in Yerba Mate, 144 are also found in green tea. As with tea, yerba mate contains vitamins, minerals, polyphenols and is rich in antioxidants. Yerba Mate leaves also contain saponins. Saponins are phytochemicals that have been found to specifically stimulate the immune system and aid the body in protecting against disease.
