Raw Cacao Powder

Who doesn't love a baked chocolate treat? Though most conventional chocolate products are highly processed and low in any nutrients, raw cacao preserves its vitamins and minerals as well as potent antioxidants, giving it an ORAC value of 11,000 per 1 heaping tablespoon.

A true superfood, cacao powder is a good source of Magnesium, Iron, Zinc and Fiber for our beneficial bacteria.  While most Cacao nibs are roasted, Organic Traditions Cacao nibs are raw with no added flavors or additives. The nibs are then pressed into a paste and the Cacao’s fat content is removed, yielding delicious Cacao powder. While many other cacao powders have added sugar, Organic Traditions is pure, rich cacao powder in its natural state with no added flavorings or sweeteners.

Vanilla extract

Vanilla extract is a great way to add flavour and sweetness to your treats! But did you know it also provides nutrition? Vanilla extract made from vanilla beans is actually significantly anti-inflammatory and helps to reduce oxidative stress due to its antioxidant capacity. It also is antibacterial and may even help to reduce anxiety. Add to baking, drinks like lattes, or treats!

MCT & Ghee

Enjoy the benefits of ghee in a convenient liquid format, combined with MCT Oil.

In Ayurvedic medicine, ghee is known as a Rasayana, a tonic food source that rejuvenates the body, eliminates toxins, and promotes long life.

MCT Oil enhances endurance by priming the body’s energy production. At the same time, MCTs promote the burning of calories and are much less prone to being stored as fat in the body. Also, they enhance the production of ketones, an organic compound that the brain uses for energy. Great to add as fuel and a blood sugar stabilizer to your morning coffee, tea, or latte! 

Himalayan Crystal Salt

Yes salt can be good for you! But we're not talking about table salt..

Himalayan Crystal Salt is a superior form of salt containing the most easily assimilated forms of minerals and trace elements required by the body.

Himalayan Crystal Salt, with its wealth of minerals and trace elements, has been valued through the ages for its health benefits.Common cooking salt lacks most of the minerals and trace elements needed for optimal body function. Now it’s easy to use the real thing! Add to your cooking for extra flavor and health benefits.
