Matcha contains antioxidant flavonoids called catechins. These can reduce inflammation, help fight disease and infections, contribute to cardiovascular health, and protect cells from DNA damage.
An excellent source of carbohydrate and fibre and a good source of protein, spelt contains vitamins and minerals and phenolic acids, which are fantastic, free radical-busting antioxidants.
