Cacao Nibs Criollo – Chocolate Magic

Cacao nibs or chips are cacao beans which were peeled and broken into small pieces. Our cacao nibs are from one of the finest cacao varieties and 100% raw and unprocessed. Our premium cacao is grown by small farmers in the Amazon rainforest under semi-wild conditions.

Cacao has all the health benefits of chocolate but without the high sugar content and additives found in commercial chocolate. Raw cacao contains an abundance of antioxidants, and the combination of stimulating substances (serotonin, dopamine, anandamide and phenethylamine) has mood lifting effects and promotes in us feelings of well-being and joy. Cacao is also rich in magnesium and sulfur, the beauty mineral.

Cacao nibs taste less bitter than cacao powder, since they still contain the entire share of the cacao butter (approx. 55%), as also cacao paste does.

Why we love Cacao

The cacao bean is an amazing food given to us by Mother Nature. The Aztecs considered cacao as a gift of God and used it not only as an offering, but also as a means of payment.

It is estimated that raw cacao contains approx. 300 substances and it is considered as one the foods richest in antioxidants! Therefore cacao can significantly help to protect our body cells from free radicals and premature aging.

Cacao has the highest magnesium content of all foods. Magnesium is essential for the heart, brain, to calm and relax nerves and muscles and to build bones and cartilages. In conjunction with other ingredients cacao is an ideal brain food and supports mental performance, concentration and attention.

Cacao contains a combination of substances which affect our emotions stimulating feelings of well-being and joy.

And cacao is rich in sulfur, which promotes strong nails and healthy hair and beautifies the skin.

SamaraNatura Cacao Nibs

Our cacao nibs are 100% raw and unprocessed. They are made from Criollo cacao from Peru, which is one of the best and rarest varieties in the world. Our fine cocoa is cultivated without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.

Fine cacao of premium quality has a share of only 5-10% of the world's cacao production. Fine cacao grows under similar and often nearly same conditions as in nature, since cacao trees do not like full sun and thrive best close to high rainforest trees. On the contrary the commercial Forastero cacao is typically cultivated in monoculture plantations.

As the name indicates, fine cacao has a better, more exquisite flavour which is less bitter than the taste of commercial cacao. Criollo beans are slightly fermented which enhances their typical cacao aroma.

Cacao nibs, which are cacao beans peeled and broken into small pieces, taste less bitter than the beans.

The purity of our organic, fair trade certified Criollo Cacao is void of mycotoxins, mould and yeast, and thus prevents you from experiencing the jitters associated with caffeine foods or beverages.

Use

On its own as a snack or sprinkle on cereals and fruit salad. Add cacao nibs to desserts and smoothies. They taste particularly good together with goji berries and nuts.

Cacao nibs are convenient to take for journeys and on travels as they do not melt as quickly as chocolate does when exposed to heat. If you prefer more sweetness, you can dip the cacao nibs in agave syrup or honey.

Its bio-available protein content is about 11% in a dry root. Maca is considered an adaptogen, which means that it has an balancing effect on the various body systems, especially the endoctrine system. Traditionally it has also been used as an aphrodisiac, to increase fertility and during menopause. Maca helps the body to adapt to high levels of stress by providing energy wherever it is needed without over-stimulating the body. Why we love Maca The maca plant is one of the most powerful plants on earth! We love it because it raises energy levels, combats mental and physical fatigue and stress. It makes us feel strong, energized, grounded, happy and prepared to face any challenge. Its energy is instant yet long lasting, and we feel active and vibrant all day long, without over-stimulating our bodies. Beside all that maca powder has a pleasant malty taste and can be used in many different ways.

Maca is a powerful superfood and can have a strong rebalancing and detoxifying effect, especially if you’re body is not in perfect health. It is wiser to start with a small dosage of ½ tsp. a day and build up to 1-2 tbsp. a day. Once the first phase of detox and rebalancing has passed, you can increase the dosage to up to 3 tbsp. a day, especially during times of stress. Unlike soya products, Mexican wild yams and flaxseeds, Maca does not contain hormones itself, so there is no danger in overdoing it. Note: A common misconception about superfoods and herbs is that there is a standard dosage. We believe that the proper measure is in relation to size, sensitivity, age, gender and many other factors that make each human being unique. In general though, a typical daily-suggested intake for most superfoods could be anywhere from 1 tsp. to 3 tbsp. daily, split into two or three doses. Best is to start at 1 tsp. per day and regulating your own dosage according to your personal needs.

Suma Powder
Suma – Brazilian Ginseng (Pfaffia paniculata) The suma root is also known as "Brazilian ginseng" because of its adaptogenic properties, but it does not belong to the ginseng family, but to the foxtail family. Why consume suma? Suma contains a range of nutrients including 19 amino acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, E, K, pantothenic acid, iron, silicon, magnesium, zinc and antioxidant saponins. What is important is its relatively high proportion of germanium, a powerful antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals and highly reactive oxygen compounds at the cellular level. Antioxidants are important for cell maintenance and function. Suma is known to improve cellular oxygenation and energy efficiency, and to promote performance and endurance. For example, Russian Olympic athletes take Suma to build muscle and improve their condition without the negative effects of steroids.

Agave Syrup Organic
Premium agave syrup in raw food quality What is agave? The agave is a cactus-like plant from Mexico. Agave syrup is a delicious sweetener made from the juice inside agaves that are at least eight years old. The Mexicans traditionally collected the sweet juice ("aguamiel") from various agaves in order to make sweeteners and special drinks for celebrations. Why buy agave syrup? Agave syrup is a vegan alternative to honey and has a pleasant taste, like a mixture of honey and maple syrup. It can be used in many ways as a sweetener. Only the very gently processed agave syrup like ours has a low glycemic index and is only slowly absorbed into the bloodstream. It is therefore particularly recommended for people who are sensitive to sugar. What makes our agave syrup special? Most conventional agave syrups, including those from organic farming, are made from 3-6 different agave species and have been heated up and pasteurized, as the juice of the agave spoils quickly after it has been removed. The contained healthier multiple sugars (polysaccharides, mainly in the form of inulin) are converted into simple sugars. They have lost a large part of their nutrients! Our agave syrup is obtained exclusively from the Salmiana agave, is processed very gently and at low temperatures and is therefore of the best quality available on the market. No pesticides or other agrochemicals are used in cultivation. The syrup is produced in special vacuum containers in which the water it contains evaporates at very low temperatures. The valuable vitamins, minerals and enzymes are largely preserved and available for our body. Because our agave syrup is 100% natural, it has a stronger taste and a darker color than commercially available concentrated juices. How to use in the daily diet? Agave syrup is characterized by a high, neutral sweetness. It enhances the aroma and is easily soluble in cold and warm dishes and drinks. Ideally suited for baked goods and due to the low tendency to crystallize for the production of jams and jellies.

Moreover, a natural source of vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, C and amino acids (especially glutamic acid). Coconut sugar is extremely low glycaemic (GI=35) and thus provides a slow release of energy and protects blood glucose levels. This is promising news for those concerned with health issues such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and gallstones. Our coconut palm sugar is made ​​from 100% coconut nectar from Coco Nucifera. For the health conscious consumers and diabetics, it can be considered to be one of the best sweeteners. Why we love Coconut Sugar SamaraNatura coconut palm sugar tastes very similar to brown sugar, but better! It has a rich, sugary, sweet caramel flavour that enhances the flavour of whatever you use it in. Many chefs praise how coconut sugar made their culinary treats more flavourful and delicious. Best of all, coconut sugar has a much lower glycaemic index compared to other sweeteners, which means it produces a slow energy release, which sustains the human body through your daily activities without regular sugar highs and lows. And we love the fact that this sweetener is one of the few truly sustainable ingredients in the world! In terms of people, health and environment, coconut sweeteners provide benefit every step of the way. Lifting communities out of poverty, bringing much needed nutrients into the human body in a mode (sweets) that often does just the opposite, and in preserving rainforest, protecting fragile tropical biomes and indeed promoting the return of devastated land back to balance. SamaraNatura Coconut Sugar Our coconut blossom sugar is 100% natural, organic, unbleached, free from additives and artificial flavouring. Only sap from coconut trees is harvested, this is not palm sugar where other palm varieties would be used and compromise the exquisite quality. Our coconut sugar is a sustainable product and supports local communities and families in Indonesia. Please note that some palm sugar on the market are also mixed with cane sugar and other malt-based ingredients. Our coconut sugar is pure, unadulterated coconut palm sugar made from 100% coconut nectar from Coco Nucifera. Coconut palm sugars are not produced from the same palm species as is used for the production of palm oil. Our granulated coconut palm nectar is not raw. By raw, we mean processed at temperatures under 42°C. We prefer to have higher quality and let remove as much moisture from the coconut sugar as possible. This results in a drier final product if compared to other coconut sugars in the market. We feel this allows more flexibility for the end user and means you are not buying water weight. Use of Coconut Sugar Coconut sugar melts easy in hot and cold beverages, is delicious in desserts, smoothies, and pastries. A small spoonful of our rich caramel coconut sugar is a healthy treat to overcome cravings and gives instant energy. Cocnut sugar can be used 1:1 as a replacement for cane sugar in any recipe.

Cacao butter Criollo Chips organic
Organic Cacao butter Criollo Chips Update: Abverkauf der aktuellen Charge mit MHD 31.05.2024 für CHF 1.- statt 18.-. Die Kakaobutter ist auch danach noch mehrere Monate einwandfrei geniessbar. Why buy cacao butter chips? Cacao butter is the solid form of the pure oil from the cocoa bean. The cocoa bean is an amazing food given to us by Mother Nature. It was viewed by the Aztecs as a gift from God and was used not only as an offering but also as a means of payment. It is estimated that raw cacao contains more than 300 substances and is one of the foods with the most antioxidants. It enriches many dishes with a wonderful, sensual chocolate aroma and is also ideal for skin care. What makes our cacao butter Criollo Chips special? Our cacao butter is 100% pure and raw food quality. Grown in Peru. No chemicals are used in cultivation or processing. This cacao butter is the pure, golden oil from cacao beans. Our cacao butter is made from the particularly fine and rare fine cacao variety Criollo. Fine cacao varieties only make up 5-10% of global cacao production. They grow under similar, often almost natural conditions, as they cannot tolerate direct sun and thrive next to other, high rainforest trees. Forestero industrial cacao, on the other hand, is usually grown in monoculture plantations. In contrast to conventional products, our cacao butter is never heated above 37°C and thus has the same quality as raw butter. Use of cacao butter Criollo chips in dishes / for recipes As a high-quality fat, cacao butter enriches smoothies, desserts and ice cream in particular with a wonderful, sensual chocolate aroma. Ideal in combination with cacao paste or cacao powder for fine chocolate creations. Raw cacao butter has a wonderful, delicate chocolate aroma, is versatile and melts in any type of recipe at approx. 35°C. Use of cacao butter Criollo chips for skin care Cacao butter is also suitable for external use as a valuable skin care product. Due to its high content of antioxidants and skin-protecting substances, cacao butter is a natural "fountain of youth" for the skin. With a melting point just below body temperature, you can simply slide a piece of cacao butter over the skin without the need for any additives. Cacao butter nourishes, is well absorbed and gives dry skin a long-lasting, supple feeling. And it has a sensual, aphrodisiac scent. A truly sensual oil with a gently soft structure and a mildly floral citrus aroma. Unfortunately, cacao butter can hardly develop its precious effect in most conventional cosmetic products. This is due to the small amount, the processing at too high temperatures and the addition of chemical additives in skin care products. In contrast to many, even expensive, cosmetic products that contain cacao butter, our raw cacao butter has been processed or mixed without synthetic and harmful chemicals. This way, raw cacao butter can fully develop its precious effect on the natural beauty of our skin. Info: Only chips on offer Due to the demand, we only offer Criollo cacao butter as chips.

Cacao paste Criollo Chips Organic
Organic Criollo Cacao mass (paste) in practical chips form Update from January 30th, 2023: Due to the more frequent use of language, we have renamed the product name cocoa paste to cacao mass. The product is one to one the same as before. Because they are always the same size, cacao mass chips (also called cocoa paste or cocoa liquor) are much easier to use/dosage than the broken pieces previously offered and are also suitable, among other things, as a sugar-free chocolate substitute. What makes our cacao mass special? Criollo fine flavor cacao from Peru, which is one of the rarest and best varieties in the world Grown under semi-wild conditions and obtained by finely grinding the beans (raw food quality) Cultivated without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers Very gentle processing that preserves vitamins, minerals, enzymes and countless other substances - for optimal absorption by the body Contains a wealth of antioxidants and the combination of serotonin, dopamine, anandamide and phenetylamine (PEA) has a mood-enhancing effect Rich in magnesium Fine flavor cacao variety Gran Cru Criollo Fine flavor cacao varieties only account for 5-10% of global cacao production. They grow under similar, often almost natural, conditions as they do not tolerate direct sun and thrive alongside other tall rainforest trees. The industrial cacao Forastero, on the other hand, is usually grown in monoculture plantations. As the name already suggests, fine flavor cacao tastes better, finer and less bitter than consumer cacao because, like cacao nibs, it still contains the entire proportion of cacao butter (approx. 55%). Criollo cacao beans are slightly fermented and thus develop their typical cocoa aroma. Why consume cacao? The cacao bean is an amazing food given to us by Mother Nature. It was considered a gift from God by the Aztecs and used not only as an offering but also as a means of payment. It has been determined that raw cacao contains around 300 substances and is one of the foods with the highest antioxidant content! Cacao can therefore make a significant contribution to protecting our cells from free radicals and premature aging. Cacao has the highest magnesium content of any food. Magnesium is important for the heart, brain, to calm and relax nerves and muscles, and to build bones and cartilage. Together with other active ingredients, cacao is an ideal brain food and promotes mental alertness and concentration.
