chocolate
Chocolate at The Window is not only good for your health but good for the planet too! It's all handmade by Jo Balfe. Take a look at her blog.
Let me introduce you to the Cacao Bean – taking chocolate back to its roots. It is the purest form you can imagine, and is a nutritional powerhouse. Intense, bitter and crunchy in its naked state, Jo has blended the purest of chocolate delights for our consuming pleasure.
In Jo’s words “I urge you to give ‘live-by’ chocolates a try. Death by chocolate is so last century”
All conventional chocolate is roasted, where many of the health benefits are destroyed. The raw cacao bean is a very complex foodstuff with more than 300 chemically identifiable compounds. It is said to be significantly richer in antioxidant flavonols than green tea, reed wine or acai and contains proteins, fats, calcium, iron, carotene, thiamine and riboflavine. The chemical which makes us feel in love is abundant in cacao, hence why chocolate has been widely used as a cure for a broken heart! Raw chocolate gives us a natural high, a feel good comfort without the guilt and is even thought to prolong life!
Why not choose to try some locally, handmade raw chocolate instead of over indulging on over packaged, unfairly traded and processed bars????...
