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.

It has a low glycemic index, is low in fat and extremely nutritious, high in calcium, protein and fiber.

Mesquite powder - sweetener from the desert Mesquite was a traditional staple food of the indigenous people of the arid regions of North and South America.

Mesquite has a protein content of approx. 14% and is rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and the amino acid lysine, which is rarely found in a grain-heavy diet. Mesquite is 25% fiber and has a low glycemic index. Mesquite flour is naturally gluten-free. Why We Love Mesquite Powder Mesquite has a sweet, malty taste that is similar to carob, but with a caramel flavor. The full-bodied taste and aroma goes well with vanilla and chocolate and it gives sweet treats a delicious maltiness. Mesquite can be mixed with nut milk, is an excellent ingredient in smoothies and is delicious sprinkled on ice cream. An exquisite malty chocolate can be made with it, and mesquite can also be used as a partial aromatic substitute for flour.

Yacon Syrup Organic - Delicious, prebiotic sweetener Yacon is grown in the high mountain valleys of the Andes and has a dense root system that is full of minerals, vitamins and complex vital substances. The freshly squeezed juice of the root is a gift from nature and has been enjoyed by the Andean peoples for centuries. The special thing about Yacon is the quality of its sugar, which is mainly in the form of oligofructose (or fructooligosaccharides). Oligofructose cannot be used by the digestive enzymes and therefore hardly causes any calories and protects the blood sugar level. In addition, as a prebiotic, oligofructose supports a healthy intestinal flora. An ideal sweetener for diabetics, health-conscious and diet-conscious people alike. Why we love Yacon Syrup Yacon tastes delicious and has half as many calories as honey, for example. And on top of that, its sugar hardly increases the blood sugar level and avoids strenuous blood sugar highs and lows. Yacon syrup is also significantly less glycemic than honey, agave or maple syrup. The oligofructose in Yacon also supports the beneficial bacteria in the colon, thereby improving digestion and absorption of nutrients. The indigestible sugar thus serves the beneficial bacteria as prebiotic food. SamaraNatura Yacon Syrup Our yacon syrup comes from traditional varieties from the Peruvian Andes and is 100% natural, grown without pesticides and agrochemicals. It is produced at low temperatures, which guarantees that the syrup retains a very high quality of nutrients and enzymes. This yacon syrup is thickened from yacon juice in a special vacuum process at low temperatures of 45°C. Since this yacon syrup can only be kept for a relatively short time without pasteurization, it is pasteurized at 70°C for 3 minutes. The syrup is therefore not raw food, but processed very gently, which means that the valuable nutrients and enzymes in the roots are largely retained. How to use Yacon syrup can be used in many ways as a sweetener. It can be used to sweeten desserts, drinks and smoothies. For salad dressings, we like to mix the syrup with vinegar, as a substitute for balsamic vinegar, which usually contains a lot of sugar. The sweetness of the syrup is less strong than the sweetness of sugar, honey or agave syrup. To support a healthy intestinal flora, 1 teaspoon is sufficient daily. For a better shelf life, we recommend storing the yacon syrup in the refrigerator.

Xylitol birch sugar from Finnish birch and beech wood Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol, which however has nothing to do with ordinary alcohol. Xylitol serves as a sugar substitute for sweetening drinks and food as well as for preventing plaque and tooth decay. Cheap xylitol is mostly made from glucose from corn - often also from genetically modified corn. In contrast, high-quality xylitol is produced in a complex process by the hydrogenation of wood sugar (xylose). Since birch bark is traditionally used in Finland, the name birch sugar has become common. Our xylitol is made from Finnish birch and beech wood. Why we like Xylitol We've tried a range of natural sweeteners over the years, and after discovering Xylitol, it's one of our favorite sweeteners. Xylitol has the same color and sweetness as white sugar and has no taste of its own, such as coconut blossom sugar. In addition, the birch sugar is good for the teeth, contains 40% less calories compared to ordinary granulated sugar and has a low glycemic index. Disadvantages are the much higher price. In addition, birch sugar, when consumed excessively, has a laxative effect and is toxic to dogs (see security alert). Our Xylitol Birch sugar from Tautona Tautona Xylit is of very high quality and is obtained from birch and beech wood from Finland. It is a 100% pure, white, granular product (like granulated sugar). Due to the birch bark process, xylitol is not a raw food product. Use Xylitol looks and tastes like sugar. It is used 1: 1 like regular sugar, for example in hot and cold drinks, cakes and desserts. Since yeast xylitol can not metabolise, it is not suitable for yeast baked goods. For home-made chocolate and raw cakes, it is advisable to grind the crystals to a powder (with blender or coffee grinder), thus achieving a more even result. Xylitol belongs to the class of sugar alcohols, which can be laxative when consumed excessively. To avoid bloating and diarrhea, start with a small amount of about 1 tbsp a day to allow the body to adjust. Security Alert Xylitol is toxic to dogs because it causes them to rapidly lose their blood sugar and seizures. This is not unusual, because other foods for humans are toxic to dogs. Cats do not appear to be affected by xylitol.
