Live Superfoods Organic Raw Hand-Peeled Cacao BeansMany people consider eating chocolate a &ldquo,guilty pleasure.&rdquo, But the reputation of chocolate as a junk food should more accurately be attributed to the harmful effects of commercial processing and refining techniques, and the other ingredients commonly added, most notably white sugar. All chocolate is made from the cacao (cocoa) bean, and cacao beans in their natural, unprocessed, unadulterated state are rich in nutrients and beneficial to health.Our USDA-certified organic cacao beans and nibs are Trinitario from the Dominican Republic, a well-fermented cacao with lots of delicate high notes.The raw beans are actually the seeds from the cacao pod. They're protected by a paper-thin shell, which has been removed.Excellent with lucuma, vanilla powder, agave nectar, yacon syrup and coconut oil.Why Unprocessed Chocolate is Good for YouAntioxidants: Cacao has more antioxidant flavonoids than any food tested so far, including blueberries, red wine, and black and green teas. In fact, it has up to four times the quantity of antioxidants found in green tea. Health benefits of these antioxidants include:&bull, Promote cardiovascular health - Help dilate bloods vessels, reduce blood clotting, improve circulation, help regulate heartbeat and blood pressure, lower LDL cholesterol, and reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks.&bull, Protect from environmental and metabolic toxins - Help repair and resist damage caused by free radicals, and may reduce risk of certain cancers.Neurotransmitters: By increasing the levels of specific neurotransmitters in our brains, cacao promotes positive outlook, facilitates rejuvenation and simply helps us feel good.Serotonin - Cacao raises the level of serotonin in the brain, thus acts as an anti-depressant, helps reduce PMS symptoms, and promotes a sense of well-being.Endorphins - Cacao stimulates the secretion of endorphins, producing a pleasurable sensation similar to the &ldquo,runner&rsquo,s high&rdquo, a jogger feels after running several miles.Phenylethylamine - Found in chocolate, phenylethylamine is also created within the brain and released when we are in love. Acts as mild mood elevator and anti-depressant, and helps increase focus and alertness.Anandamide - Anandamide is known as the &ldquo,bliss chemical&rdquo, because it is released by the brain when we are feeling great. Cacao contains both N-acylethanolamines, believed to temporarily increase the levels of anandamide in the brain, and enzyme inhibitors that slow its breakdown. Promotes relaxation, and helps us feel good longer.Essential Minerals: Cacao beans are rich in a number of essential minerals, including magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium and manganese.Magnesium - Cacao seems to be the #1 source of magnesium of any food. Magnesium balances brain chemistry, builds strong bones, and helps regulate heartbeat and blood pressure. Magnesium deficiency, present in 80% of Americ
Raw Cashews These Vietnamese cashews are shelled by hand at low temperatures. Rich and buttery tasting, so delicious! USDA-certified organic, raw and gluten-free. To obtain maximum nutritional value, Cashews are best eaten raw. You can eat these tasty nuts right out of the bag, add them to cereals, granola, salads, trail mix and desserts. About Cashews The Cashew (Anacardium occidentale, syn. Anacardium curatellifolium A.St.-Hil.) is a tree in the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae. The plant is native to northeastern Brazil, where it is called by its Portuguese name Caju (the fruit) or Cajueiro (the tree). It is now widely grown in tropical climates for its cashew ",nuts", (see below) and cashew apples. It is a small evergreen tree growing to 10-12 m tall, with a short, often irregularly-shaped trunk. The leaves are spirally arranged, leathery textured, elliptic to obovate, 4 to 22 cm long and 2 to 15 cm broad, with a smooth margin. The flowers are produced in a panicle or corymb up to 26 cm long, each flower small, pale green at first then turning reddish, with five slender, acute petals 7 to 15 mm long. The true fruit of the cashew tree is a kidney or boxing-glove shaped drupe that grows at the end of the pseudofruit. Actually, the drupe develops first on the tree, and then the peduncle expands into the pseudofruit. Within the true fruit is a single seed, the cashew nut. Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the fruit of the cashew is a seed. However, the true fruit is classified as a nut by some botanists. The seed is surrounded by a double shell containing a caustic phenolic resin, urushiol, a potent skin irritant toxin also found in the related poison ivy. Some people are allergic to cashews, but cashews are a less frequent allergen than some other nuts. Other vernacular names include cajueiro, cashu, casho, acajuiba, caju, acajou, acaju, acajaiba, alcayoiba, anacarde, anacardier, anacardo, cacajuil, cajou, gajus, jocote maranon, maranon, merey, noix d',acajou, pomme cajou, pomme, jambu, jambu golok, jambu mete, jambu monyet, jambu terong, kasoy. In the Antilles, specifically Puerto Rico, it is known as pajuil and the pseudofruit is the main used part as raw fruit. The cashew apple is used for its juicy but acidic pulp, which can be eaten raw or used in the production of jam, chutney, or various beverages. Depending on local customs, its juice is also processed and distilled into liquor or consumed diluted and sugared as a refreshing drink, Cajuna. Ripe cashew apples also make good caipirinha. In Goa, India, the cashew apple is the source of juicy pulp used to prepare fenny, a locally popular distilled liquor. The cashew apple contains much tannin and is very perishable. For this reason, in many parts of the world, the false fruit is simply discarded after removal of the cashew nut. The urushiol must be removed from the dark green nut shells before the seed inside is processed for consumption, this is don

Upon opening, stir well to incorporate oil (this is an excellent time to add a bit of Himalayan pink salt if you prefer a salted seed butter), then refrigerate after opening.16 fl oz in glass container.Sesame's Health BenefitsFor thousands of years, sesame seeds have been a source of food and oil. Sesame has one of the highest oil content of any seed, some varietals exceeding 50 percent oil content compared to ,soybean's 20 percent. Sesame oil is one of the most stable vegetable oils, with long shelf life, because of the high level of natural antioxidants (sesamin, sesamolin, and ,sesamol). Oil from the seed is used in cooking, as salad oils and margarine, and contains about 47 percent oleic and 39 percent linoleic acid. Sesame seed oil, like sunflower seed oil, is rich in ,Omega 6 fatty acids, but lacks ,Omega 3 fatty acids.Sesame seed is also rich in protein, at 25 percent by weight. The flour that remains after oil extraction is between 35 to 50 percent protein, has good effective carbohydrates, and contains water-soluble antioxidants (sesaminol glucosides) that provide added shelf-life to many products. ,Sesame seeds are the only known source for the cholesterol-lowering, liver-protecting lignans known as sesamin and sesamolin. ,The relative ratio of protein and oil, as well as ,essential amino acids ,and ,essential fatty acids ,varies with sesame ,cultivar ,as well as growing conditions.
Live Superfoods Raw PistachiosPistachios are one of the oldest flowering nut trees, and have been enjoyed for at least 9,000 years. Thanks to their high nutritional value and long storage life, pistachios were an indispensable travel item among early explorers and traders, including travelers across the ancient Silk Road that connected China with the West.In Iran, pistachios are known as the &ldquo,smiling nut.&rdquo, In China, they're called the &ldquo,happy nut.&rdquo, Pistachios are also known as the ",green almond.&rdquo, The green color in pistachios comes from lutein, which helps to prevent the most common form of blindness in older adults, and may help prevent or slow down atherosclerosis, the thickening of arteries, which is a major risk for cardiovascular disease.Nutrient dense: When stacked up against other nuts like almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts and macadamias, pistachios trump them all in thiamin, vitamin B-6, potassium, beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, and total phytosterols (which ,compete with cholesterol from the diet for absorption). They&rsquo,re also an excellent source of protein, fiber, copper and manganese.Pistachios are also known for nutrients like arginine, an amino acid that plays an important role in the cardiovascular system.Healthy fats: We all need some fat in our diet. Fat adds flavor and helps us feel full longer. The trick is to choose foods that contain good, unsaturated fats as opposed to bad, saturated fats. Pistachios are a great choice of snack because they contain almost 90% unsaturated fat.Antioxidants: Oxidation is a process that creates free radicals in the body, which can be harmful to your cells. Pistachios offer many different antioxidants including lutein, beta-carotene, and gamma-tocopherol, which can help to support the heart and the body from oxidation.Our raw, certified organic pistachios are dried at low temperatures in their shell, and are sodium-free.

Pure Raw Virgin Coconut OilCoconut oil is the most healing oil you can consume, and the healthiest choice for cooking with. It is rich in lauric acid, which is antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiparasitical, and antiviral. Close to two-thirds of its saturated fat is made up of medium-chain fatty acids, which are actually health promoting and they are antimicrobial, easily digested for quick energy, and beneficial to the immune system.Most commercial coconut oils are refined, bleached, and deodorized, and some are even hydrogenated. Others that are called &ldquo,cold-pressed&rdquo, still are fermented or heated, losing the natural vitamin E and tocopherols needed for stability and protection against rancidity.We sell only the highest quality virgin coconut oil. This certified organic coconut oil is identical to unextracted oil from coconuts in flavor and nutritional content. It is produced from fresh coconuts in a process that uses no heating or chemical treatment.What is the difference between Coconut Butter and Coconut Oil? ,As the health benefits of coconut become more widely recognized, so does the confusion surrounding coconut products. One source of confusion for some is the difference between coconut butter and coconut  ,oil. Since both become solid below room temperature, and both can become liquified when gently warmed, it can seem to some that they may be one and the same. However, coconut oil and coconut butter are two different things, just as peanut butter and peanut oil are not one and the same.Coconut Oil ,is the beneficial fat from the coconut. It is usually produced by grinding or pressing the coconut meat until coconut milk is produced. From there, the coconut oil is extracted from the waters in the coconut milk by various extraction methods. Our Raw Virgin Coconut Oil is extracted by centrifuge, a process that maintains the nutrients within. Coconut oil, like coconut butter, will solidify around room temperature, but can be warmed to a liquid state. When liquified, coconut oil is more translucent than coconut butter.Coconut Butter is produced from the meat of the coconut. The whole coconut is then ground, or pureed, into a spread referred to as coconut butter. We use the ancient method of stone-grinding to hand craft each batch of our Coconut Butter. Coconut butter also contains coconut oil. When you receive your jar of coconut butter, you may open it to find a layer of separated coconut oil on top- similar to a jar of natural nut butter. When coconut butter is warmed to a liquid state, it retains a bit of opaqueness and will be a creamy-white color. ,Creamy, smooth, and sweet with a mild coconut taste, this premium-quality oil blends well with other flavors, and can be used in a wide variety of recipes. Substitute coconut oil for the other fats in your baking and cooking recipes, and experience all of the health benefits that coconut has to offer.Available in 16 oz and 32 oz jars. ,Benefits of Raw Virgin Coco

Spirulina is also one of the few plant sources of vitamin B12, which is essential for healthy nerves and tissues. Spirulina is called a blue-green algae because it contains both chlorophyll (providing green pigment) and phycocyanin (blue pigment). It forms spiraling, microscopic strands. This simple,one-celled algae thrives in warm, alkaline fresh water. Spirulina is naturally sterile because of its ability to grow in hot, alkaline environments, where other polluting organisms can't survive. Certain species of Spirulina even survive when the water evaporates, and lie dormant on rocks as hot as 160 degrees farenheit. Spirulina also retains its nutrients even when exposed to high temperatures during processing. Studies suggest that Spirulina can help stimulate the immune system, increasing production of antibodies, and promoting a healthy response to allergens. It may also help reverse age-related declines in memory and learning, have thyroid protective properties, help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and promote the formation and development of red blood cells.
