Cacao powder Peru - Low in fat with 10-12% cocoa butter content Update: Due to the cocoa shortage, our supplier was unable to send us 100% Criollo powder. The new batch contains 70% Criollo cocoa (previously 100%). The remaining 30% is Forastero, Trinitario and Nacional. They are also high quality, organically certified and from Peru. That is why our cocoa powder is temporarily called "Cocoa Powder Peru". Our raw cocoa powder originates from the precious cocoa sauce Criollo and has a delicious, full chocolate taste. It is made from unroasted cocoa beans and contains up to twice as much antioxidants as conventional cocoa powder. The gentle processing at low temperatures preserves vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants which can be absorbed so optimally by the body.

SamaraNatura organic Cocoa powder Criollo Our cocoa powder is made from the Peruvian precious cocoa variety Criollo, one of the world's rarest and best cocoa varieties, and comes from a cooperative in Peru, which dispenses with the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers and supplies the largest raw materials stores in the United States and Great Britain. To prepare the powder, the uncooked noble cocoa beans are first ground. The dark-brown viscous cocoa mass produced in this way is compressed by cold pressing to form a cake from which the liquid golden yellow cocoa butter slowly drains. The remaining "cocoa press cake" is subsequently finely ground and sieved through. This process does not require any chemicals, additives or extraction solvents and produces a fine, soft powder with a full, wonderful chocolate flavor. The quality of our organic, fair trade certified Criollo cocoa is of great purity and free from mycotoxins, mold and yeast, and prevents you from experiencing this nervous tension that is associated with the consumption of caffeine-containing foods and drinks. Use Mix cocoa powder to your muesli, smoothies, (hot) milk drinks, protein drinks and teas. As an ingredient for all delicious chocolate creations and desserts.

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.
