Black cohosh (Actaea racemose) is a woodland herb native to North America. The root is used as medicine and is often used for estrogen-related conditions. In some parts of the body, black cohosh might increase the effects of estrogen. In other parts of the body, black cohosh might decrease the effects of estrogen. Black cohosh should not be thought of as an “herbal estrogen” or a substitute for estrogen. People commonly use black cohosh for symptoms of menopause, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), painful menstruation, weak and brittle bones, and many other conditions, there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses. Don’t confuse black cohosh with blue cohosh or white cohosh. These are unrelated plants.

Organic Cacao Powder (Theobroma Cacao)
0 out of 5(0)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.

Organic Arrowroot Powder (Maranta Arundinacea)
0 out of 5(0)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.
