Bio Gewürzkakao - produziert in der Schweiz Update: 20% Rabatt auf die aktuelle Charge unseres Bio Gewürzkakao mit Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum 30.09.2024.  Da sich der Import des Maya Gewürzkakaos (infolge der massiv gestiegenen Transportkosten) nicht mehr gerechnet hatte, haben wir in der Schweiz unseren eigenen Gewürzkakao produzieren lassen. Die Kombination aus hochwertigem Kakao und leicht scharfen Gewürzen machen dieses Kakaopulver zum grossen Erlebnis. Der neue Gewürzkakao hat im Vergleich zum alten ein intensiveres Kakao-Aroma und ist etwas herber, leicht schärfer, schokoladiger, weniger süss, ohne Zimt-Aroma. Die braune Farbe des neuen Gewürzkakao ist etwas heller. Was ist Gewürzkakao? Unser Bio Gewürzkakao ist ein grobkörniges Schokoladenpulver, bestehend aus Kakaomasse und unserem Criollo Kakaopulver. Es wird mit Rohrohrzucker gesüsst und mit einer leicht scharfen Gewürzmischung aromatisiert. Lokale und soziale Produktion Der Gewürzkakao wird von den Chocolatiers der Stiftung Ancora-Meilestei in Wetzikon nach einem speziellen Verfahren produziert, um die gewünschte Konsistenz zu erreichen. Zutaten Kakaomasse 40%, Rohrohrzucker 30%, Kakaopulver 25%, Gewürzmischung 5% (Kakaoschalen, Paprika edelsüss, Rohrzucker, Chili, Zimt, Bourbon-Vanille, Tonkabohnen). Sämtliche Zutaten sind Bio-zertifiziert. Zubereitung Mische den Gewürzkakao in lauwarme Pflanzendrinks, in Smoothies, Protein-Shakes und ins Müesli. Passt auch geschmolzen als Dessert-Topping. Wenn du Kokosaroma gerne hast, dann wird dir Kokosmilch mit Gewürzkakao wunderbar schmecken. Tipp: Damit der Gewürzkakao auch in kalten Getränken gut emulgiert (sich verbindet), einen Schwingbesen oder Milchaufschäumer-Stab verwenden. So kann auch ein schöner Schaum hergestellt werden. Für einen intensiven Kakao-Genuss mische 5 Teelöffel (ca. 15g) mit 1 Tasse heissem Wasser oder Pflanzendrink. Wer den Kakao für eine Zeremonie nutzen möchte, verwendet 40-50g auf ca. 2-3dl Wasser oder Pflanzendrink. Bei dieser Menge werden von vielen Menschen euphorische Gefühle wahrgenommen. Diese konzentrierte Form wurde bereits von den Maya-Schamanen vor tausenden von Jahren als «Göttergetränk» angewendet. 2 Grössenvarianten Wir haben diesen edlen Gewürzkakao in zwei verschiedenen Grössen an: 125g, ergibt 8 Tassen 250g, ergibt 16 Tassen Nährwertangaben pro 100g Energiewert 1612 kJ/385 kcalFett 11.4gdavon gesättigte Fettsäuren 7.0gKohlenhydrate 54.6gdavon Zucker 38.9gBallaststoffe 28.5gEiweiss 16.4gSalz 0.1g

Organic Criollo Cacao mass (paste) in practical chips form 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.

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.

Lucuma (Pouteria lucuma), the "sweet gold of the Incas", is a subtropical, exotic fruit from South America that has long been revered by the ancient Andean culture. Why buy lucuma powder? Healthy fruit sweetness with a low glycaemic index Particularly rich in beta-carotene, iron, vitamin B1 and B2 Versatile ingredient for cakes, desserts and ice creams Ever since we got to know Lucuma powder, it has been one of our favourite foods. The healthy fruit sweetness with a low glycaemic index is particularly rich in beta-carotene, iron, vitamin B1 and B2. Its biscuit-like sweetness makes it a favourite in (raw) cakes, desserts and chocolates. We like to add it to our creams and ice creams and as a gourmet ingredient to all sweets - the wonderful flavour and biscuit-like sweetness of lucuma powder enhances every dessert. In Peru, the yellowish-orange fruit is the most popular flavour in ice cream. What makes our lucuma powder special? Free from pesticides and agrochemicals Raw food quality Gentle processing Best flavour Lucuma from SamaraNatura is free from pesticides and agrochemicals. The lucuma pulp is dried in a solar drying plant at low temperatures in accordance with raw food quality standards, then gently ground and sieved. Although lucuma also grows in other tropical regions, the flavour of the fruit that grows in the Peruvian highlands is rated even better. This is where our lucuma powder comes from. The beautiful, dark yellow powder has a flavour reminiscent of maple syrup and cashews. Tips for use Lucuma powder is an extremely versatile and tasty ingredient that works well in ice creams, baby food, yoghurts, cakes, chocolate and desserts and can be used for lucuma mousse, pudding or parfait. It is ideal as a sweet flour for pies, cakes and pastries and tastes delicious in smoothies, nut milks and other drinks.

We mostly use it in sweet dishes, but we have been told that it also tastes great in savoury dishes. Just like maca, lucuma helps to combine and emulsify fats and oils with sugar and polysaccharides. For example, lucuma is ideal as an ingredient for a dish or drink with cocoa nibs (50% fat) and yacon root syrup (polysaccharides). It combines cocoa and yacon in flavour and consistency.

Real bourbon vanilla powder from Madagascar Update: Due to various customer inquiries, we have added the 25g vanilla powder from Naturkostbar to our range as a supplement to the 15g Rapunzel. On the right side (dropdown) you can choose the different variants. Vanilla is the fruit of a species of white orchid that is native to Mexico and has spread to many tropical countries over 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 time-consuming because a lot has to be done by hand. In addition, the available space is limited and demand is constantly increasing. All of this leads to vanilla being one of the most expensive spices in the world today. Unfortunately, real bourbon vanilla powder from Madagascar has become a rarity because the severe floods in Madagascar in 2016 and 2017 resulted in major crop failures and long-term damage to crops. You can find information on this in the NZZ online article, among other things. While the much cheaper synthetically produced vanillin consists of only one substance, the special taste of real vanilla is a harmonious composition of almost 200 individual substances! Real vanilla therefore not only has a unique taste and enticing aroma, it is also healthy. It was considered and cultivated by the peoples of Central America for centuries as a remarkable gift from nature. The pharmacies of the 18th century carried it as a health remedy in the form of powder, infusions and tincture. Use With its unique range of aromas, 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 very tasty in drinks such as cocoa, nut milk and herbal teas. Origin Grown and processed in Madagascar.

Maca Max red – easier to digest and absorb Maca Max red is made from red maca roots from the Junin region of Peru. Short, strong heating breaks down the starch contained in maca, making it easier to digest than raw maca powder. In addition, the nutrients and vital substances contained can be better absorbed. This heating process is also referred to as "gelatinization", which is why the English term "gelatinized" is sometimes read. However, this process has nothing at all to do with bone gelatin. Maca Max red is 100% vegan. Anyone who reacts with flatulence to maca powder in raw food quality can use Maca Max red as an alternative. A staple food of the indigenous peoples of the Andes for thousands of years, maca root is an excellent source of energy and endurance.
