These raw food balls are coloured green thanks to the addition of health-food-of-the-moment matcha powder. This is made from ground up, whole matcha green tea leaves and contains small amounts of various vitamins and minerals, but its main claim to fame is its high levels of the polyphenol compounds, catechins – a type of antioxidant.
One study found that matcha contains three times more of the catechins epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) – an antioxidant linked to fighting cancer, viruses and heart disease – compared to other types of green tea.
