Maras salt is very rich in mineral content, collected through its subterranean trip to the ponds. These ponds are owned by the locals and the salt-water collected in them is dried naturally and then harvested by hand to avoid contamination. Our Maras Pink Salt is collected by the locals and processed without any additives like anticaking agents to ensure a truly natural product is obtained. We preserve the natural mineral content this way and allow for it to highlight flavour unlike any salt.
Yacon Root Powder is an incredible sweetener prepared from select yacon roots. The root's nectar goes through a careful process of drying and milling without losing the FOS (Fructo-oligosaccharide) content. FOS is a dietary sugar which the body does not metabolize. As a sweetener, it provides a pleasant fruity taste that can be a great alternative for any preparation.
Our Yacon Syrup is a product like no other in the industry. It's lovely amber color and a sweet taste, resembling that of honey with a hint of citrus, is achieved by extracting the nectar of carefully selected yacon roots and using low temperatures in the process in order to avoid burning the FOS, a dietary sugar which the body does not metabolize. This is truly a great sweetener for drinks and meal preparations.
