More on Goji Berries...The Tibetan Superfood
Growing profusely on vines that reach over twenty feet in length in the remote hills and valleys of the 'Goji Triangle' - Tibet, northern China and Mongolia - the true Goji Berry (Lycium barbarum) is thought to contain the highest nutrient content and be the most health enhancing of the 80-odd varieties of the Lycium fruit.
Is the secret of happy Himalayan health the revitalizing and energy containing Goji Berry? Also known as Chinese Wolfberry or Gou Qi Zi, the power of nutrient dense Goji Berries have been known since ancient times. Goji Berries are a complete protein loaded with anti-oxidants, amino acids, carotenoids like beta-carotene, vitamins, and an excess of 20 minerals and trace elements.

The flavour is described as cherry-like, and can be eaten straight out of the bag, or added to lunch boxes, cereals, trail mixes, smoothies, salads, desserts or steeped in tea.
More on Cacao...The Mayan Superfood
Theobroma cacao literally means "Food of the Gods" - cacao beans are the seeds of an Amazonian fruiting tree and the source of all chocolate and cocoa products. The Mexican Mayan kings drank up to 30 pure chocolate drinks a day to maintain their vigor and valued the bean so highly that it was used as money.
The certified organic, vegan, unsweetened RAW cacao found in our powersuperfood products is the rare, expensive, and best tasting criollo variety - the 'king' of cacao.
- Cacao is a good source of phytonutrients, beta-carotene, amino acids, protein, omega-3, calcium, zinc, iron, copper, sulphur, potassium, chromium - and possibly the best food source of the muscle relaxing, stress relieving magnesium.
- Chocolate has 400 distinct flavour compounds - that's 200% more than any other food. The exotic flavoured 'criollo' variety represents only 1% o the world production and is the highest priced in international commodity markets.
- Cacao Power products have an anti-oxidant (ORAC) score of 95,500. To put that into perspective, that's 14 times more anti-oxidant flavonoids than red wine, 21 times more than green tea, and 7 times more than even dark chocolate!
- In the last 100 years, dietary magnesium has declined by 60+%, yet is critical for 300+ enzyme reactions in the body - it is estimated that over 80% of Australians are chronically lacking in this mineral.
- Phenylethylamine (PEA) found in cacao products is an adrenal-related chemical that is created within the brain and released when we fall in love, and also helps increase focus and alertness.
- Pure raw Cacao seems to diminish appetite - likely as a result of its unusual MAO inhibitors that allow more serotonin and other neurotransmitters like anandamide (the bliss chemical) to circulate in the brain, precipitating a rejuvenating effect.
- Cacao Beans, nibs and powder contain no added sugar and have a fat content lower than most other nuts.
- The Kuna Indians of the Panamanian Islands of San Blas consume significant amounts of high flavonol cacao; they also have extremely low blood pressure that doesn't climb as they age.
So snack and enjoy Cacao guilt free...
