is one of our favorite bean to bar chocolate makers. They are leaning into Peruvian flavors and ingredients. Love it!

Oh maca, how we love you so... This wonderful root grows high in the Andean mountains, and strangely enough is in the same botanical family as cabbage & kale, though it tastes nothing like its edible cousins. 🥬 💚
Maca’s flavor is malty, earthy, and sweet, and a little like molasses. It pairs beautifully with chocolate, and if you've ever purchased a superfood chocolate bar, chances a small amount was blended in. This super plant has many health benefits, from boosting energy, mood, and libido, to balancing hormones and enhancing memory. 🧘🏽 💞
It’s a staple to add to your morning smoothies when you need an extra kick to get moving. Before Endorfin Foods was born back in 2013, founder used it in the homemade chocolate "fudge balls” he used to make by hand with a bowl and spoon… These bars are something else entirely - smooth, silky, perfectly smooth and tempered, with crunchy cacao nibs and our infamous Peruvian pink salt by sprinkled on the back of each bar by hand. 👨🍳 🍫
✨ Pro-tip: if you want to get some maca yourself to try (whether in capsules or in a powder to add to foods & smoothies), make sure you get maca that has been cooked to breakdown some of the components of it that are hard to digest (commercially, this is called "gelatinized" maca). Traditionally, maca was always cooked before being consumed, so of course we definitely recommend using this type when playing around with it in the kitchen.
