Tocosh Powder 200g

Dealing with occasional stomach discomfort or digestive upset? Tocosh has been traditionally consumed in the Peruvian Andes for stomach and digestive wellness. Research on potato tocosh has also found antioxidant activity and a protective effect on the gastric mucosa in animal studies, which helps explain the long-standing interest in this fermented food for gastric care.

Tocosh is made by naturally fermenting potatoes in water, an ancestral preservation process used in Andean communities since Inca times. Modern research has also identified lactic acid bacteria in traditional Peruvian tocosh with promising probiotic characteristics, although this does not mean every tocosh product is clinically proven to act as a probiotic.

Our Tocosh Powder is finely ground and ready to mix with warm water, juices and other foods, or to prepare in the traditional way as mazamorra de tocosh.

• Stomach wellness: traditionally consumed for gastric discomfort, while experimental studies have found protective effects on the gastric mucosa.
• Digestive support: its natural fermentation produces a diverse microbial community, including lactic acid bacteria currently being studied for their probiotic potential.
• Antioxidant activity: experimental research on potato tocosh has demonstrated antioxidant activity.
• Traditional respiratory wellness: Andean traditional use includes consumption during colds and other respiratory illnesses. This is a traditional use rather than a clinically proven treatment.
• Traditionally used during recovery: historical uses reported in Peru include consumption during postpartum recovery and periods of illness.

A Traditional and Versatile Way to Enjoy Tocosh. Mix 2 tablespoons (10 g) of Tocosh Powder into a cup of warm water. It can also be added to natural juices, smoothies or other foods. According to the product directions, it may be taken before breakfast and/or after dinner.
