[What is Curcuma Longa?]

Turmeric is an herbaceous plant known scientifically as Curcuma longa. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which includes ginger. Tumeric has rhizomes rather than true roots, which are the primary source of commercial value for this plant. Tumeric originates from southwest India, where it has been a stable of Siddha medicine for thousands of years. It is also a common spice in Indian cuisine and is often used as flavoring for Asian mustards.

Ingredients Industry Manager John Madden and Senior Research Analyst Claire Moulin discuss the European Food Safety Authority’s positive opinion of the natural sweetener Stevia and the implications it might have for new opportunities in the sweeteners market. These include:

• new product launches from beverage companies such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi
• new sugar substitute product launches
• health and wellness opportunities given France’s growing overweight population

Madden and Moulin also discuss the growth products for Stevia-based products, given that companies are working with Stevia manufacturers to develop flavor systems to help mask the bitter aftertaste of the extract.

Pure, Organic Cacao from the Rainforest

Through nutritional analysis, we are learning and naming over 300 chemical compounds at play in cacao. We are exploring their psychochemical effects on us — our central nervous systems, our bodies, minds and moods.

Antioxidant Rich:
Cocoa beans are rich in specific antioxidants such as catechins and epicatechins, the antioxidants found in green tea, as well as flavonoids, proanthocyanidins and polyphenols, the antioxidants found in red wine and grape seeds.

A Healthy Cardiovascular System:
Many studies published in the past few years have revealed the health-promoting properties of cacao, especially on the cardiovascular system. One study concluded that cocoa powder and dark chocolate favorably affect cardiovascular disease risk status by modestly reducing LDL oxidation susceptibility, and increasing serum total antioxidant capacity and HDL-cholesterol concentrations.

Improved Concentration and Mood:
Take pure dark chocolate to increase concentration and elevate mood. Cacao is also a unique source of the biogenic amine phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA is known as the molecule of love. When taken orally, it increases attention and concentration, and elevates mood.

Organic Chocolate Infused with 11 Powerful Rainforest Botanicals

Chocamaca is more than a great-tasting, healthy chocolate. It contains 11 other unique ingredients to provide your body with an enjoyable source of concentrated nutrients from wild, whole foods. These powerful botanicals provide energy, boost your immune system, support a healthy heart and so much more. Here’s what else you’ll find in each delicious ball of Chocamaca:

Kiwicha — promotes good cardiovascular health*

Low in Calories and Fat

Compared to other chocolates and candy, Chocamaca is low in calories and fat. If chocolate has a bad reputation as far as health is concerned, it is strictly because of the refined white sugar commercial chocolate contains. Otherwise, pure cacao is a rich source of antioxidants which support a healthy heart, help reduce harmful cholesterol and boost the immune system. Add 11 nutritious herbs, and you have a deliciously healthy treat!

Amazon Herb Company’s Chocamaca goes a big step further in rejoining chocolate with traditional herbs and grains from its original bioregion, then molding them into small spheres reminiscent of Tibetan herb balls.

What is it about chocolate that would make 50% of women reportedly claim to prefer chocolate to sex?
Yes, most chocolate contains some sugar. But chocolate clearly delivers far more than a brief sugar high. Remove the refined white sugar and we move closer to the bitter herb of its origin.

What is it we love so much in chocolate?
Could it be chocolate’s tryptophan, the essential amino acid that enhances serotonin function, hence diminishing anxiety? Theobromine may be the Aztecs’ agent against mental stupor. Or perhaps chocolate’s key to our hearts is its phenylethylamine (PEA) content. Phenylethylamine, commonly called the “love molecule,” is a natural chemical suspected of causing the euphoria experienced by lovers.

PEA’s presence in wild blue-green algae, another ingredient in Chocamaca, may explain the increased energy, enhanced mental clarity and pervasive upbeat optimism experienced by algae eaters.
