You may be asking, “What exactly is lacuma powder and why should I care and why do you have it listed as a product that you love?” Well, let us tell you! Lacuma is a Peruvian fruit with a flavor that kind of tastes like a combination of maple and cashews, and a lot of health benefits when used as a flavor enhancer (or sweetener). You should care because it’s unique, yummy and healthy.

Don’t be fooled, we love the Mint Puerh organic green tea from Numi regardless of season, but we’re featuring it today because during the summer it makes an amazingly refreshing iced tea (see our recipe below). That doesn’t mean that there aren’t a dozen other reasons to purchase it though!

Oh. My. God. We’ve previously talked on TGB about the health benefits of raw chocolate and the health benefits of gogi berries, but imagine if you put the two together in these chocolate gogi berry snack treats. And we don’t mean imagine it because it would be the mega-super-duper food, we mean imagine it because the taste will be something that you want to eat over and over and over again.

We’re big supporters of the health benefits of gogi berries, and it’s a little known fact that it was actually a man named David Wolfe of Sunfood that introduced this healthy little berries to the world, so we of course recommend going to the source to buy them. These particular organic gogi berries are grown in protected Chinese valleys that have million- year-old soil and, to avoid oxidation, the berries are never touched by human hands. In Chinese medicine, which features over eight thousand food- herbs and boasts thousands of years of history, goji berries are considered the single best, number-one food-herb, and that’s for a reason.
