CHOCOLATE A LA TAZAFew know that it was the Spaniards who brought chocolate to Europe from the New World, heaped in the bellies of their grand galleons alongside silver and other treasures. It was the Spanish monks who added sugar and spices to the bitter, thin drink, making it into the thick sweet treat that we know today. Blanxart has been making choco-late in Barcelona since 1954, and their rustic drinking chocolate bar is one of the more decadent ways to experience classic Spanish hot chocolate. Made with only cacao, sugar, and vanilla, eat it raw or add hot milk to turn it into a thick, rich beverage made for dipping.

MATIZ D.O. ORGANIC ESPELETTE PEPPERPiment d’Espelette is a dried and ground red pepper from the town of Espelette in south-ern France. It is highly prized by chefs for its mildly sweet-spicy heat and aromas of fruit and dried hay. Use it as the locals do in a French ham omelet or with grilled fish, sausages or other meats, on salads, and even in pies and chocolate. Twelve 1.6 oz jars MZP60

MESQUITE FLOUR ORGANICAlgarroba trees grow wildly in large forest areas in the coastal regions of northern Peru, and have been a highly praised source of nutrition for centuries. The algarroba (also known as mesquite) pods have the shape and size of a green bean and are yellow or red in color. The pods are dried and milled, in order to produce mesquite powder. Mesquite imparts a warm, sweet, slightly smoky taste on foods while enhancing the flavors of cinnamon, chocolate, caramel, and coffee. The versatility of mesquite powder is truly limitless. It is commonly used in combination with other flours for baking and cooking.

SWEET POTATO FLOURThe sweet potato has been a significant source of nutrition for over 8,000 years and is now being seen as an incredibly underappreciated yet nutritious food. It is high in vitamin A and is also a good source of fiber. The roots are most frequently boiled, fried, or baked. They can also be dried and processed to make starch and flour. Sweet potato flour holds moisture well, brings a richness of flavor, and adds a slight sweetness to any baked good.

PURPLE CORN ”MAIZ MORADO” FLOUR ORGANICPurple corn, once a staple of the Incan empire, is botanically the same species as regular table corn but has a deep purple color, and has long been used by people of the Peruvian Andes to color bever-ages and food. Most commonly, maiz morado is used to make a popular beverage called chicha morada.The dark purple color is due to natural pigments which act as antioxidants, known as antho-cyanins. Purple corn has a higher antioxidant capacity than blueberries, which is leading many to put purple corn in the category of “superfoods”.

OTHER PRODUCTS – Yacon, Lucuma, Maca, Quinoa, Amaranth, and Pussac Punay Beans available by pre-order. Contact us for availability.

Sweet potato flour is incredibly versatile and can be used for breads, cookies, muffins, pancakes and crepes, cakes, and doughnuts. It can also be used in soups, as a thickener for sauces and gravies, and in breading for fish. This raw flour is even edible without cooking. Sweet potato flour is great at holding moisture in baked goods and imparts a slight sweetness.
