Description

A lot of people ask us what is purple corn and how did it end up in a chocolate bar ? And this how we answer them.

Purple corn is an iconic heirloom variety of maize from Peru. And we use purple corn extract in this chocolate bar. The extract is the powder left when all the moisture is evaporated out of the juice of the corn kernels. It is the most purple natural product on the planet and therefore loaded with the anthocyanin antioxidants. It has a slightly bitter malty whisky flavour that blends beautifully with the chocolate. When you taste it, the hint of a liqueur flavour that comes through is from the purple corn extract.

We are also often asked what are activated almonds? They are raw biodynamic almonds that are soaked for 12 hours to deactivate the enzyme inhibitors in them (raw nuts are hard to digest because of the enzyme inhibitors in them soaking them releases these inhibitors making them much easier to digest). Then we dehydrate them at 40ºC for 24 hours to make them crunchy again (roasting nuts kills alot of their nutrient value). So essentially activating the nuts allows us to benefit fully from the nutrients they have to offer. The nuts are also much plumper and more satisfying.
