Vegan Chocolate and “Blooming”
Another question we get asked quite often is in relation to the sometimes grayish color of our vegan chocolate chips, properly called chocolate bloom, so I thought I’d write a quick post about it to ease our customers’ minds: Have you ever purchased a chocolate candy bar from the store and had it have a grayish chalky coating on it? If so, that’s something call “blooming” in the world of chocolate. Chocolate blooming is the most common problem you will encounter, but from the start, let me offer this consolation: blooming, no matter its form, is completely...
Read MoreDo You Use Sugar In Your Kava?
The above is a question we get quite often, so I thought I’d make a post about it! In short, IF we use sugar at all, we only use organic ECJ (Evaporated Cane Juice) – very different from the commercial white sugar.

A detailed and up-to-date look on the legal status of Kava throughout the world and wordwide. Surprisingly, KAva Kava is legal in most of the world, with a few lingering countries that we feel will eventually come around as Kava gains in popularity, and they realize they’re missing out on possible revenue from Kava sales.
Read MoreGlutathione & Our Kava Products
We sometimes receive questions about the chemical compound that seems to be “all the rage” right now called “glutathione,” especially in relation to protecting the liver from damage. Ever since the pharmaceutical companies succeeded in falsely linking kava root with liver damage, we field many questions regarding liver damage and kava. So, below is the response I offer to those asking about glutathione, and thought it worthy of posting on the blog as well, in hopes of answering questions while dispelling myths at the same time: We do not add ANY chemical compounds to...
