Anna's New Chocolate Bars

Published: Fri, 09/05/14

Hello Farm Friends,

   Anna has been going nuts creating new bars and then perfecting them!  If you haven't tried the new Cashew Date Fudge Bar we recently started selling, you're missing out.  Now, we also have a Peppermint Fudge Bar.  Same ingredients just with added Organic Peppermint Oil to make a very delicious bar.

   We are happy to announce that Anna has made the Chocolate Granola Bars even healthier.  Not only are they made with Organic Grass-fed Butter, freshly-ground Organic Spelt, and other organic ingredients....the Organic Chocolate we are now using is simply Unsweetened Baking Chocolate.  This means they added no sugar to the chocolate.

   Research has shown that sugar, even organic sugar, that has the molasses taken out of it (rendering it as a white or blonde colored sugar) is not the best sweetener to eat.  The molasses contains all the good minerals found in sugar and when you remove this, your body has a hard time digesting the sugar.  Did you know that your body needs calcium, phosphorous, chromium, magnesium, cobalt, copper, iron, zinc, and manganese to properly digest cane sugar? These and more minerals are found in sugar the way God made it - unrefined.  Since the molasses and minerals have been removed from the sugar, your body responds by leaching these minerals that it needs from your bones and teeth to help digest the sugar.  Since no one makes chocolate with unrefined whole cane sugar (aka Sucanat, Rapadura, etc.), the new Super Dark Chocolate Bar is now sweetened only with Organic Maple Syrup!  Extremely yummy & healthy!!!  Ok, that's it for the science lesson.  :)
