Jungle Chocolate with Raisins and Coconut |
You're just going to love this Fair Trade Chocolate!! Cacao Trees produce chocolate beans that are carefully selected, fermented, and dried in special solar dryers. Next they're roasted to perfection and de-husked, producing little bits of pure chocolate. Nothing is taken out of this chocolate; all the natural cocoa butter and flavor remains! The chocolate bits are then dipped into Amazon cane syrup to provide just a hint of sweetness. They're as rich and natural as the Amazon itself!
Unlike processed chocolate that contains milk, butter, sugar, vanilla and other ingredients, this is truly natural. Yachana Jungle Chocolate will not melt and has a long shelf-life.
A chocolate bar might be eaten in one sitting, but a 2 oz. package of Jungle Chocolate contains lots of servings. Just a few morsels in the palm of your hand are enough to satisfy the cravings of most chocolate lovers. Use them as a trail mix when hiking or camping. Sprinkle them as an ice cream or frozen yogurt topping, add them to baked goods for a nutty and crunchy chocolate taste, and ....well, just let your chocolate imagination go wild!
We've had customers who are on the Atkins or South Beach diets tell us that Yachana Jungle Chocolates are quite a find, because this natural chocolate is low in sugar and carbohydrates.
Not only will you and your chocolate-loving friends love this new Jungle Chocolate's great taste, but you'll be making a positive difference in Ecuador! Yachana Gourmet pays farmers 200% to 300% above the local market price for their cacao and adds value by producing this delicious chocolate product. Additionally, Yachana Jungle Chocolate carries the certification of the Fair Trade Federation and all aspects of its production adhere to fair trade principles helping people of the Ecuadorian rainforest live better lives.
The Ecuadorian Government says that this project is a truly viable alternative in Ecuador to industries involved in the growing and trafficking of cocaine.
Yachana Gourmet is just one project of FUNEDESIN (www.funedesin.org), a non-profit organization, which was founded to help improve the lives of those living in communities along the Napo river in the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador. FUNEDESIN strives to find workable solutions in the struggles between the ideals of rainforest preservation and the realities of life in the Ecuadorian Amazon Basin through innovative projects related to education, health care, income generation and agricultural development. All profits from your purchase of these unique chocolates support Funedesin's rainforest preservation projects.
