Cacao powder Peru organic

Organic spiced cocoa - produced in Switzerland As it was no longer worth importing Mayan spiced cocoa (due to the massive increase in transport costs), we had our own spiced cocoa produced in Switzerland. The combination of high-quality cocoa and slightly hot spices make this cocoa powder a great experience. The new spiced cocoa has a more intense cocoa flavour than the old one and is slightly more bitter, slightly spicier, more chocolaty, less sweet and has no cinnamon flavour. The brown colour of the new spiced cocoa is slightly lighter. What is spiced cocoa? Our organic spiced cocoa is a coarse-grained chocolate powder consisting of cocoa mass and our Criollo cocoa powder. It is sweetened with raw cane sugar and flavoured with a slightly spicy blend of spices. Local and social production The spiced cocoa is produced by the chocolatiers of the Ancora-Meilestei Foundation in Wetzikon using a special process to achieve the desired consistency. Ingredients Cocoa mass 40%, raw cane sugar 30%, cocoa powder 25%, spice mix 5% (cocoa shells, sweet paprika, cane sugar, chilli, cinnamon, bourbon vanilla, tonka beans). All ingredients are certified organic. Preparation Mix the spiced cocoa into lukewarm plant-based drinks, smoothies, protein shakes and muesli. It also goes well melted as a dessert topping. If you like coconut flavour, then coconut milk with spiced cocoa will taste wonderful. Tip: To ensure that the spiced cocoa emulsifies (combines) well in cold drinks, use a whisk or milk frother wand. This will also produce a nice foam. For an intense cocoa flavour, mix 5 teaspoons (approx. 15g) with 1 cup of hot water or plant-based drink. If you want to use the cocoa for a ceremony, use 40-50g per 2-3dl of water or plant drink. Many people experience euphoric feelings with this amount. This concentrated form was already used by Mayan shamans thousands of years ago as a "drink of the gods". 2 size variants We offer this fine spiced cocoa in two different sizes: 125g, makes 8 cups 250g, makes 16 cups Nutritional information per 100g Energy value 1612 kJ/385 kcalFat 11.4gof which saturated fatty acids 7.0gCarbohydrates 54.6gof which sugar 38.9gDietary fibre 28.5gProtein 16.4gSalt 0.1g

Organic cocoa liquor (cocoa paste) of the premium Criollo variety as crisps (100% natural) Update: Due to the shortage of cocoa, the sale of cocoa liquor is limited.Cocoa liquor crisps (also known as cocoa paste or cocoa liquor) are much easier to use/dose than the previously offered pieces due to their consistent size and are also suitable as a sugar-free chocolate substitute. What makes our cocoa paste special? Criollo fine flavoured cocoa from Peru, 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 fertilisers Very gentle processing that preserves vitamins, minerals, enzymes and countless other substances - for optimum 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 cocoa variety Gran Cru Criollo Fine flavoured cocoa varieties only account for 5-10% of global cocoa production. They grow under similar, often almost natural conditions, as they do not tolerate direct sunlight and thrive alongside other tall rainforest trees. Forastero industrial cocoa, on the other hand, is usually grown in monoculture plantations. As the name suggests, fine flavoured cocoa tastes better, finer and less bitter than consumer cocoa, as it still contains all of the cocoa butter (approx. 55%), just like cocoa nibs. Criollo cocoa beans are slightly fermented and therefore develop more of their typical cocoa flavour. Why consume cocoa? The cocoa bean is an impressive food given to us by Mother Nature. It was considered a gift from God by the Aztecs and was used not only as an offering but also as a means of payment. It has been determined that raw cocoa contains around 300 substances and is one of the foods with the highest antioxidant content! Cocoa can therefore make a significant contribution to protecting our cells from free radicals and premature ageing. Cocoa has the highest magnesium content of all foods. Magnesium is important for the heart and brain, for calming and relaxing nerves and muscles and for building bones and cartilage. Together with other active ingredients, cocoa is an ideal brain food and promotes mental alertness and concentration.

Cocoa nibs Peru - 100% natural and unprocessed Update:Due to the cocoa shortage, we are currently not receiving 100% Criollo nibs from our supplier. The new batch contains 70% Criollo cocoa (previously 100%). The remaining 30% are Forastero, Trinitario and Nacional. They are also high quality, certified organic and from Peru. This is whyour cocoa nibs are temporarily called "Cocoa Nibs Peru". In comparison, they have a slightly more intense flavour and are slightly bitter, but are also very tasty. Cocoa nibs (also known as cocoa nibs) are obtained from cocoa beans by peeling them and breaking them into pieces. They taste even less bitter than cocoa beans. Our cocoa nibs made from fine flavoured cocoa are 100% raw and unprocessed. The fine flavoured cocoa is grown by small farmers in the Amazon rainforest under semi-wild conditions. Cocoa has all the benefits of chocolate, but without the unwanted high sugar content and additives. Why consume cocoa nibs? The cocoa bean is an amazing food given to us by Mother Nature. It was considered a gift from God by the Aztecs and was used not only as an offering but also as a means of payment. It has been determined that raw cocoa contains around 300 substances.

The quality of our organic, fairly traded, certified Criollo cocoa is of great purity and free from mycotoxins, mould and yeast, preventing you from experiencing that nervous tension associated with the consumption of caffeinated foods and drinks. How to use cocoa nibs? On their own as a snack or sprinkled on muesli and fruit salad. Add to desserts and smoothies. Cocoa nibs taste particularly good together with goji berries and nuts. Cocoa nibs are practical for travelling and on the go, as they do not soften as quickly in the sun as normal chocolate.

Real Bourbon vanilla powder from Madagascar Vanilla is the fruit of a white orchid species that is originally native to Mexico and has spread to many tropical countries over the course of time. Vanilla is now one of the most sought-after spices and is also known as the "queen of spices". The cultivation and processing of vanilla has always been labour-intensive, as much of the work has to be done by hand. In addition, the available areas are limited and demand is constantly increasing. As a result, vanilla is now one of the most expensive spices in the world. Genuine bourbon vanilla powder from Madagascar has unfortunately become a rarity due to severe flooding in Madagascar in 2016 and 2017, which resulted in major crop failures and long-term damage to crops. You can find more information on this in the NZZ online article. While the much cheaper synthetically produced vanillin consists of just one substance, the special flavour of real vanilla is a harmonious composition of almost 200 individual substances! Real vanilla therefore not only has a unique flavour and seductive aroma, it is also healthy. It has been regarded and cultivated by the peoples of Central America for centuries as a remarkable gift of nature, and the pharmacies of the 18th century stocked it as a health remedy in the form of powder, infusion and tincture. Uses With its unique spectrum of flavours, it can be used in a variety of ways for all sweet dishes, such as dessert sauces, ice cream, smoothies, pastries, compotes, jams, homemade chocolate and fruit bars. Also delicious in drinks such as cocoa, nut milk and herbal teas. Origin Grown and processed in Madagascar.

Brief, intense heating breaks down the starch contained in maca, making it easier to digest than raw maca powder. In addition, the nutrients and vital substances it contains can be better absorbed. This heating process is also known as "gelatinisation", which is why the term "gelatinised" is sometimes used. However, this process has nothing whatsoever to do with gelatine made from bones. Maca Max red is 100% vegan. What makes our red Maca Max powder special and where is it produced? Our red Maca powder is made from dried, red organic Maca roots. This comes from altitudes of over 4000 metres above sea level in the Junín region of Peru. The maca root has been a staple food of the indigenous peoples of the Andes for thousands of years and is an excellent source of energy and stamina. How to use red Maca Max powder in everyday life?
