MACA...Peruvian Superfood
Our Certified Organic MACA (Lepidium meyenii, Walpers or L. Peruvianum, chacon) is a uniquely revitalising and energy containing superfood, eaten in South America for thousands of years for its concentrated nutition. Peruvian men and women passionately love this sexy heart-shaped vegetable, believing it to be the ultimate root - high in protein (20+ amino acids), EFAs, vitamins, and too many minerals and trace elements to list.
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.
