Organic Cacao Powder (Theobroma Cacao)
Botanical Name: Theobroma cacao (pronounce kah-kow)
Certified Organic
Country of Origin: Ecuador
Production: After the ripe pod has been cut from the tree, it is opened, the rind discarded, and the pulp and seeds laid out for several days. During this time the pulp liquefies or “sweats” and fermentation starts, which softens the bitter taste and helps to unlock the full aroma of the cacao bean. This fermentation process is usually followed by gently roasting the beans to enhance the chocolate aroma. The beans are then crushed and their thin skins removed so that only pieces or “nibs” remain. Cacao nibs are then ground into a thick brown liquid called cacao paste (aka cacao mass or liquor) which is made up of cacao butter (55-60%) and suspended fine cacao particles. This cacao paste is subsequently pressed until it separates into cacao butter and a cacao “cake” which is then ground to produce cacao powder.Qualities: Cacao powder has the lowest fat content compared to all other cacao products. Cacao is believed to contain high amounts of antioxidants such as flavonoids, and many other nutrients and minerals like stearic and oleic fatty acid, anandamide (the bliss chemical), theobromine, manganese, zinc, copper, sulfur, PEA, and tryptophan. The list of cacao’s acclaimed health benefits is lengthy and includes anti-inflammatory and heart-protective properties, calming hormones, restoration of feelings of well-being, increased energy, fighting chronic fatigue, anti-aging, and appetite-suppressing properties, improved kidney and cognitive functions, skin and tooth protection, and more. No surprise the Incas considered cacao to the “drink of the gods” which gave rise to the scientific name of the cacao tree Theobroma cacao, theo, meaning god, and broma meaning drink. Cacao has been cultivated in Ecuador since the 17th century and was the main product of export up until the 1920s.
Common Use: Cacao powder can be enjoyed in countless recipes and food preparations, raw, cooked or baked, sweet or savory…however you want to experience the uniquely wonderful taste of chocolate.
Storage: Best kept at room temperatures around 20C (68F), away from direct sunlight, protected from moisture, and tightly sealed.
Safety: We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.Disclaimer: This information is for educational purposes only and has not been evaluated by the CFIA or FDA.

Organic Calcium Bentonite Clay
Ingredients: Calcium Bentonite clay, Pharmaceutical grade
Country of Origin: USA
Production: Bentonite clay is formed from the weathering of volcanic ash, then carefully mined to keep out impurities out. The clay is subsequently kiln-dried, milled, and screened to size.
Qualities: Calcium Bentonite clay is a very fine, odorless, and powderlike product with a greenish tint. It is silica-based and colloidal in nature, meaning the particles suspended in liquid without breaking down or dissolving, and therefore do not get digested. Holding a high concentration of minerals such as silica, magnesium, iron, sodium, calcium, and potassium, Bentonite is widely used for both internal and external uses such as for detoxes and cleansing purposes. Bentonite is fairly unique in that it holds an electrical charge when in contact with liquid, therefore binding itself to other molecules, removing stains from hard surfaces and pulling toxins from a human body.
Common Use: calcium Bentonite clay is suitable for both external and internal use.- For a purifying homemade face mask, combine clay with honey or water until they become a paste, and apply generously to your face avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10-20 minutes and gently wash off with lukewarm water and your skin will thank you! You can also add ½ a cup to a hot bath.
- When ingested, food-grade Bentonite has a variety of cleansing properties, but must be approached cautiously. It has been known to stabilize gut bacteria, settle the stomach after vomiting or diarrhea, and assist with thyroid function and cancer cells.
Safety: Please consult your healthcare professional before internal use.

Organic Tumeric Powder (Curcuma longa)
Botanical Name: Curcuma longa
Certified Organic
Origin: IndiaProduction: Our Turmeric is grown in the state of Odisha, in India. The whole turmeric fingers are harvested, cleaned and then dried in solar and/or electric dryers reaching a maximum temperature of 32 degrees celsius. It is then tumbled by machine for up to 6 hours, in order to remove the skin, a process called “double polished”. Once skins are removed, the turmeric is ground into powder. Turmeric root, also known as Indian saffron, or the “Spice of Life”, is the rhizome of an herbaceous perennial plant native to India, and is in the same family as ginger. The rhizome is used fresh, or dried then cut in chunks or ground into powder, and is used in many medicinal and culinary applications.
Qualities: Turmeric is considered a powerful antioxidant due to its curcumin content and its long list of health attributes including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, neuroprotective, immune balancing, and detoxifying properties. In Ayurvedic medicine it is also used topically to treat skin problems and infection and to relieve joint pain. Although curcumin can also be found in extract form, the advantage of turmeric as a whole herb is that it stays in the digestive tract longer, releasing curcumin along with other beneficial substances over more time, instead of passing through the system unnoticed by the body.
Common Use: As a spice, turmeric has been a staple in south Asian cuisines and is appreciated for its warm, peppery, and slightly bitter taste and strong yellow colour which can be incorporated in a multitude of recipes, including stir-fries, baked goods, smoothies, juices, teas, or taken in capsule form. It is recommended to consume Turmeric with a source of fat in order to increase absorption of its health properties as well as with a pinch of black pepper which contains Piperine, a natural substance that can boost the bioavailability of curcumin by 2000%. (reference: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin/)
The intense golden color of turmeric is a widely used in food (curry powders, mustard, cheese, etc), cosmetics, and even used as a fabric dye.Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
Safety: We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.

Superior Grade Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder (Camellia sinensis)
Botanical Name: Camellia sinensis
Certified Organic
Origin: Japan, Nishio region

After stems and veins have been removed, the leaves (aka Tencha) are carefully stone ground on artisanal granite mills to produce a very fine (5-10 microns) powder which means you are consuming the entire leaf when drinking Matcha.
There are many different grades of Matcha, ranging from ceremonial grade (most expensive and primarily used for tea ceremonies in Japan) to Ingredient/Food grade (more affordable as it is blended with older leaves, resulting in a stronger flavor). This Superior grade Matcha is an excellent choice for a tasty and healthful drinking Matcha with a rich and delicate flavor.
Qualities: Matcha drinkers receive 100% of the benefits of the whole green tea leaf, enjoying and benefiting from its high levels of antioxidants (including the powerful EGCg), amino acids, vitamins, minerals (such as selenium, chromium, zinc, and magnesium), chlorophyll and fiber.

- Add up to 6 oz. of hot water to taste (optional)
- To make a matcha latte, add some milk to taste (optional)

Organic Arrowroot Powder (Maranta Arundinacea)
Botanical Name: Maranta arundinacea
Certified organic
Origin: India
Arrowroot powder (aka arrowroot flour and arrowroot starch) is an easily digestible starch derived from the tropical tuber of the arrowroot plant. Manufacturing involves mechanical mashing of the rootstock into a pulp, separating the starch from its fibrous component by forcing it to through a screen, and finally drying and grinding it into a fine, lightweight powder.
Qualities: Arrowroot is tasteless, won’t change the color of your food, and is neither affected by freezing nor weakened by acidic ingredients. Arrowroot imparts a shiny gloss to foods and will not make your sauces turn cloudy as other starchy thickening agents would. It thickens at a lower temperature than other starches such as flour or cornstarch and is, therefore, less likely to burn. Please note that arrowroot becomes slimy when mixed with milk products and thus Cornstarch is the best choice for thickening dairy-based sauces.
The lack of gluten in arrowroot powder makes it a wonderful addition to gluten-free baking. When baking with nut flours, adding one tablespoon of arrowroot starch to your recipes will help to make your cakes, cookies, and muffins softer and less dense.
Common use: Arrowroot powder can be used as a thickener for sauces, gravies, or puddings, and is well known for producing crystal clear fruit glazes and jellies. It also prevents ice crystals from forming in homemade ice cream!
To thicken with arrowroot, blend about 2 Tbsp of powder with ¼ cup of cold liquid before adding it to a hot liquid (1 Tbsp thickens about 1 cup of liquid). Remember to add this mixture towards the end of your recipe as it should only be heated until it thickens and then be removed immediately to prevent the mixture from thinning. Overheating tends to break down the thickening property.
Arrowroot powder is also commonly used as a base for many body care formulations and is the main ingredient for most body powders.
Substitute: Tapioca starch has similar qualities and can be used as a substitute.
Storage: store in a cool, dark, dry place in a well-sealed container.
