The Andean people use it in infusions to control colds and fevers naturally. Tarwi is so great that helps combat constipation, hair loss and parasites. Its greatest value is obtained in the form of flour.
Tarwi
Also known as chocho or lupine, it is an Andean legume and one of the most complete vegetable proteins with high nutritional value. It contains a large amount of protein, vitamins and minerals (41 to 51% protein, 28.2% carbohydrates, 7.1% fiber, 15% calcium, 10% iron). When consumed in the form of flour, it concentrates a greater amount of protein compared to other flours made from legumes, being far superior to soybeans.
The inhabitants of the Andes have used tarwi since pre-Hispanic times, and continue to use it, to eliminate the "damage" caused by parasites due to its high alkaloid content (cooking the seeds on an empty stomach). Also, as a treatment against dandruff and hair loss (poultice of ground seeds); in infusions to control colds and fever; and even, helps combat constipation.
Properties of Tarwi
- 50% protein.
- 24% carbohydrates.
- 13% vegetable fiber.
- 21.9% essential fats (omegas 9, 6 and 3).

Benefits
- It has a high protein content. It contains more protein than soybeans, approximately 40% per 100 gr., which makes it a super food that unfortunately is not known as it should be for outstanding properties. Regulates blood glucose. It regulates blood sugar content; this is because it has less carbohydrates than other legumes and could be helpful for diabetics.
- Unsaturated fat content. Tarwi has a high content of fat rich in omega 3, which is why its industrialization has even been proposed to produce oil on a large scale, unfortunately the process is a bit expensive for now. Natural laxative. We can use tarwi to purge our digestive system, as it is a natural laxative.

AMARANTH
The word "Amaranto" means "the smallest life-giving particle", because it was and continues to be the prodigious food of the past, which was reborn in the present and will prevail in the future...
Amaranth
The word amaranth, huahtli in Nahuatl, means “the smallest particle that gives life,” because it was and continues to be and ancient prodigious food, reborn in the present and will prevail in the future. It’s not just poetic, but true. This superseed comes from a plant of the amaranth family, also called “alegría,” (joy). The plant reaches 1.5 meters in height and has long edible leaves called quelites. The seeds are the most important part of the plant. At the top, a spike or bouquet of burgundy red is formed, where about 50 thousand seeds are concentrated, which are put to dry. There are many varieties of amaranth, some of them produce flowers of green, pink, red or purple colors, however the seed is pale in almost all cases.
Amaranth is the most complete product of plant origin, it is one of the most important sources of proteins, minerals and natural vitamins in the superfood world.
Amaranth is the most complete product of plant origin, it is one of the most important sources of proteins, minerals and natural vitamins in the superfood world.
Properties of Amaranth
- Vitamins A, B, C, B1, B2 and B3
- Folic acid, niacin, calcium, iron and phosphorus.
- It is one of the superfoods with the highest presence of amino acids such as lysine.
- 21.9% essential fats (omegas 9, 6 and 3).
- 7.5% minerals (Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc).
- It provides vegetable fiber, complex carbohydrates and proteins. As a result, it has a low glycemic index (GI) and the supply of glucose to the brain is constant. In addition, as its GI is low, it is perfect for people with diabetes. The fiber content of amaranth is 6.7%, which places it above other superfoods. Therefore, it contributes to intestinal motility and the care of intestinal flora.
- It protects your bone system from osteoporosis due to the contribution of phosphorus, magnesium and calcium.
- It can regulate cholesterol levels in the blood. In addition, it is richer in fat than oats and its phenolic compounds have a high antioxidant power.
- Squalene. This substance was normally extracted from shark liver for its anti-cancer properties. But it is also an antioxidant fatty substance that has a protective effect on the intestine, the circulatory system and the skin.
Benefits
- It regulates blood pressure. Cristina Mapes Sánchez, a professor at the UNAM Botanical Garden, curator of the ethnobotanical collection, who conducts research on traditional agriculture and edible plants in Mexico, has studied the knowledge, use and management of amaranth as a vegetable in the Sierra Norte of Puebla. She explained that during the digestion of proteins, peptides are released, which give amaranth nutraceutical properties that serve to prevent certain diseases such as diabetes and to regulate blood pressure.
- It prevents osteoporosis: Due to its high calcium content (higher than that of milk), it prevents osteoporosis and avoids muscle cramps. In addition, it contains phosphorus, which is essential for the correct absorption of calcium and whose deficiency can also cause fatigue.
- It reduces cholesterol. Amaranth has a diuretic action (due to its calcium, potassium and fiber content), which favors the control of blood pressure by reducing fluid retention. Furthermore, due to its omega-3 and plant sterol content, helps regulate cholesterol levels (it reduces bad LDL cholesterol and increases good HDL cholesterol) and triglycerides in the blood. Also, insoluble fiber helps eliminate cholesterol through the feces, thus reducing the absorption of cholesterol ingested in the diet and eliminating bile salts that intervene in digestion and that contain endogenous cholesterol. All this, together with its high antioxidant power, makes it a highly recommended food to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
- It helps to lose weight. It is a good ally for losing weight, since its large amount of fiber increases the feeling of satiety. Furthermore, since it is made of vegetable proteins, it does not mean extra calories. This grain releases carbohydrates but, unlike simple ones, its absorption in our body is slow, that is, during the day we can take its calories to convert them into energy and thus be able to take full advantage of its nutritional content. This property is perfect for sports people or those who train in the gym, since they will get the energy necessary to carry out the training. Thanks to the fact that it is absorbed slowly, you will feel more satiated throughout the day, thus avoiding snacking between meals.
- It has anti-cancer properties. Amaranth is a functional food that contains flavonoids and biopeptides with beneficial properties for the health of people who consume it. For example, rutin is a flavanol described as the phytochemical with the greatest antioxidant power, and it also can inhibit the development of cancer.
- It is suitable for celiacs. It is necessary to understand that gluten, according to information from the Federation of Celiac Associations of Spain, is a protein that can be found in some cereals, but NOT in amaranth...
- It prevents diabetes. Due to its high fiber content, it regulates the absorption of sugars from the diet. And since its carbohydrates are slowly absorbed (low glycemic index), it is recommended in diets for diabetics.
MORINGA
Originally from India, Moringa, also called the ¨Miracle Tree¨ has been used in medicine to prevent and treat more than 300
diseases: Including anemia, anxiety, asthma, bronchitis, headache, sore throat, hypertension, ulcers, and much more.
Moringa
Moringa oleifera is a tree with great nutritional value and numerous therapeutic properties.

CACAO
Cocoa is a tree that produces a fruit of the same name and since its discovery more than one hundred medicinal uses have been developed, to cure or relieve fatigue, fever, heart
problems, keep in mind, it´s not COCOA, it's pure CACAO.
Cacao
Do not confuse CACAO with COCOA. Chocolate products inconsistently use “cacao” versus “cocoa.” They can both be healthy in moderation and even offer antioxidant properties but can be high in calories. If you buy chocolate, you’ve likely noticed that some packages say they contain cacao while others say cocoa. Maybe you’ve even seen raw cacao powder or cacao nibs in health food stores, leading you to wonder how they differ from standard cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
In some cases, there are important differences between CACAO and COCOA. Some experts use “cacao” for the pods, beans and ground-up contents of the beans, reserving “cocoa” for the powder left after pressing the fat out of the ground beans. To make cocoa powder, the liquor — which is roughly half fat in the form of cocoa butter — is pressed to remove most of the fat. To make chocolate, the liquor is often mixed with other ingredients, including vanilla, sugar, more cocoa butter and milk.
We use Cacao, processed for purity.
Cacao is a tree from America that produces a fruit of the same name that it is mostly used for the chocolate industry. Its use dates back to the time of the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas, and since then it has been used for both nutritional and medical purposes. According to the European Food Information Council (Eufic), more than one hundred medicinal uses of CACAO have been developed since its discovery. Treatments that use the resources of the cocoa tree serve to cure or relieve fatigue, extreme thinness, fever, heart problems, anemia or kidney and intestinal problems.
Myths
Due to the high amount of fat that cocoa provides, its consumption is often linked to the development of problems such as acne, migraines or increased cholesterol. However, according to the Nutritional Study of Cacao and Derived Products of the Cocoa and Chocolate Institute, there are no studies that have shown that the relationship between these aspects is true.
Cocoa is not addictive either.
In 2002, a team of Catalan scientists determined that for cocoa or chocolate to produce physical dependence, at least 15 kilos should be consumed each day.

Cacao (in it´s pure form) Properties.
- Pure Cocoa contains phosphorus, magnesium, iron, potassium, calcium, zinc, copper, manganese, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, E, pantothenic acid, thiamine and riboflavin, caffeine, theobromine and tannins, natural antioxidants, etc.
- 100 grams of dark chocolate provide a percentage of the recommended daily amount:
- 100 gramos chocolate negro aportan un porcentaje de la cantidad diaria recomendada:
- 20% Iron
- 27% Potassium
- 30% Phosphorus
- 25% Copper
- 13% Calcium
- 33% Magnesium
Other components that make it unique are phenylethylamine and theobromine, which provide a large amount of energy and improve mood, but without making you as nervous as caffeine can do.
It is worth highlighting its phenolic compounds, such as flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants and help preserve them for long periods of time; and others such as procyanidins, which have no significant effects on your body.
Benefits
- Its high antioxidant content makes Cacao a very beneficial food for the heart, as it dilates the arteries and improves blood flow. But remember that Cacao is healthier and contains more of these compounds, the more Cacao is less processed the better. We aim for purity in our Cacao.
- The flavonoids it contains improve blood flow in the brain, which will improve your ability to concentrate and your memory.
- Eating and smelling chocolate stimulates the release of endorphins, responsible for the feeling of well-being and pleasure; in the case of its aroma, it increases theta brain waves that cause relaxation.
- It contains nutrients that promote the formation of beneficial bacteria for your body.
- Improves mood. Cocoa is rich in theobromine, caffeine, phenylethylamine and tyramine, which is a precursor of tryptophan, which in turn is a precursor of serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter related to the regulation of mood, heart rate, sleep and appetite. Cocoa can help improve mood and combat the signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety.
- Prevents thrombosis. Cocoa helps prevent the appearance of thrombosis because it contributes to improving blood flow, which reduces the risk of blood clot formation thanks to its flavonoid content.
- Helps regulate cholesterol. Cocoa is rich in antioxidant substances, helping to regulate circulating cholesterol levels, which helps prevent fatty deposits in blood vessels, preventing the formation of atheroma plaques and the development of cardiovascular diseases.
- Prevents anemia. Cocoa is rich in iron and, therefore, its regular consumption can help prevent anemia, since iron is essential for the formation of hemoglobin, a component of red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen to the organ and which is normally found in lower quantities in cases of anemia.
- Reduces the risk of diabetes. Some studies indicate that cocoa could slow down the digestion of carbohydrates at the intestinal level, as well as protect the cells responsible for insulin production in the pancreas and improve insulin secretion. In addition, it could also reduce insulin resistance, which contributes to reducing the risk of diabetes.
- Prevents dementia. Cocoa is rich in theobromine, which is a compound with vasodilatory activity, which favors blood circulation to the brain, helping to prevent neurological diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's, for example. In addition, cocoa is rich in selenium, a mineral that helps improve cognition and memory.
- Regulates the intestine. Cocoa is rich in flavonoids and catechins that reach the large intestine, which could increase the amount of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which are healthy bacteria that exert a prebiotic effect, helping to improve intestinal function.
- Helps reduce inflammation. Being rich in antioxidants, cocoa is able to reduce cell damage caused by free radicals and inflammation. In addition, some studies indicate that cocoa consumption favors the reduction of the amount of C-reactive protein in the blood, which is an indicator of inflammation.
- Helps control weight. Cocoa helps in weight control because it helps reduce the absorption and synthesis of fats. In addition, by ingesting cocoa it is possible to have a greater feeling of satiety, since it helps regulate insulin, however this benefit is mainly associated with dark chocolate and not with milk or white chocolate, since they are rich in sugar and fat and low in cocoa.
- Cocoa powder should not be consumed together with products rich in calcium, such as milk, cheese and yogurt, because it has oxalic acid, a substance that decreases the absorption of calcium in the intestine.
- Lowers blood pressure. Cocoa can also help reduce blood pressure, since it improves blood vessels by influencing the production of nitric oxide, which is related to the relaxation of these vessels.
