The year we started producing superfoods, we founded Happy Little Faces, a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for impoverished children in our local community of Lima, Peru. In 2010, we built a kindergarten from scratch, providing free education, lunches, and extra-curricular activities for local children who would otherwise not have these opportunities.
We are proud to say that our initiative has grown successfully in Lima. We thank you for being a large part of our growth as an organization, and for helping the local communities of Peru.

Thank you for choosing Andean Star Organic Brazil nuts and being a part of the story for the next generation Children of the Andes!

This replaces our previous favorite – superior all the way around! Already reordered.
My new favorite! We’ve looked around and tried many pure cocoa powders for our morning smoothies, and only found one other as good as this (including organic as well as actual taste). And that other company was completely unresponsive to multiple attempts at reporting problems with their bag closures. The other company’s bags state that the product should be used within 45 days of opening, yet the seal simply isn’t capable of staying sealed no matter how hard we try. THIS brand is not a problem, and the taste is just as good as the other brand. I was skeptical with almost no reviews on this, but they seemed to be solid overall, so I tried one bag. It’s almost gone, and I’ll likely now put this on an Amazon subscription basis so we automatically get it every few weeks (like I said, this is one of the “automatic” ingredients in our morning smoothies!).
Of special note is the taste. I have never liked raw cocoa, until our previous brand. This is at least equal to that previous one, and I ALMOST like it all by itself! I can eat 60% dark Ghirardelli chocolate baking chips (same as their more expensive flat candies from what I can tell), and I love them! While not a “snack,” I suspect if I really wanted to force the issue for a while, I could probably get used to this all by itself – but I’ll stick to making it a marvelous component of our high quality smoothies each day.
UPDATE: 28 Oct 2019 — We’ve now ordered our 2nd bag of this, but sadly it’s not (yet?) available for an Amazon subscription – otherwise we’d add it. WELL worth it!

GREAT CACAO POWDER!
LOVE! A great cocoa flavor with rich taste. Perfect to add to my morning coffee (mocha style!) or oatmeal. Also great in other recipes. Will buy again!

High Quality and Delicious
Very high quality cacao! I love using it in smoothies for added flavor, not to mention the antioxidants. I like using this more than the cheaper Hershey’s cacao from the grocery store because the flavor is much richer.

Save your money
If you want this for hot chocolate, it’s a winner as the taste is really good. BUT, it simply does not dissolve in cold milk. I placed mine in a shaker with my protein powder and drank an extremely grainy mixture. Ugh. Flavor, good; texture, horrible. It might dissolve in the baking process but I will go back to the simply cocoa powder you can buy at your local grocery stores. There just isn’t a flavor difference to me and the price difference is huge. Save your money.
