Organic barberry truffle

Finest organic barberry truffles with 100% Arriba Nacional cocoa, coconut blossom sugar, apricot kernel puree, puffed quinoa and barberries. These truffles are both organic and VEGAN. 100% Arriba Nacional cocoa is used for the barberry truffles. This makes them vegan because the chocolate does not contain any milk. In addition to the high-quality chocolate, coconut blossom sugar is used. This type of sugar is mainly produced in Southeast Asia. There are also production facilities in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Africa, South America and the Caribbean. UAnywhere where palm trees can grow in large numbers. Not only coconut palms, but also nipa palms, sugar palms, palmyra palms, silver date palms and sago palms are used. But not every palm tree is always used to produce palm sugar as the end product. For example, the Canary Island date palm produces a syrup, which in this form is called and processed as “palm honey”. To produce coconut sugar, the palm's inflorescences are scratched when they are ripe. This causes the plant sap to leak out at the cut point and be collected in containers. The juice contained there is quickly processed further. If this does not happen, it can start to ferment and is used as palm wine or palm vinegar. After harvesting, the juice is reduced over the fire in large pans, as it often consists of up to 80% water. When the water evaporates, a thick juice syrup is created, which is then either left as it is or further reduced into crystal, block or soft paste form. The brownish color of the sugar occurs during the reduction process, during which the caramelization of the sugar has begun. The eponymous fruit that is processed here is the barberry. It occurs in Western, Central and Southern Europe and grows on shrubs. The plant itself is considered very poisonous, whereas the fruits are not. The red fruits are very rich in vitamins and taste slightly sour. Depending on the age of the shrub, they are seedless. In Europe, barberries are mainly used to make jam. In oriental countries, however, it is used for cooking, such as seasoning rice, fish and roasts. The healing effects of the fruit and root of the plant have been described many times since the Middle Ages. However, the root should be used with caution and only in very small doses. The oil that is pressed from the apricot kernels is used to make barberry truffles. And secondly, an apricot kernel puree. For this purpose, the kernels are finely ground. For these purposes, kernels from sweet apricots are used, since the bitter variety contains a small amount of hydrogen cyanide. The grain quinoa has been cultivated in the Andes for over 5000 years and is therefore one of the staple foods there. Due to its high protein and amino acid content, it is a popular ingredient in muesli, but also as a complete substitute for gluten-containing cereals. In this case the quinoa is used puffed. This is caused by the water in the grain expanding explosively when heated. This is caused by a change in pressure. Organic coconut flakes, which are roasted, serve as a fruity, exotic coating for the barberry truffles. In a gift package with organic dragon chips or wine raisins, the organic barberry truffles can be an excellent souvenir.
