Health Information

Strawberries are the only fruit that have their seeds on the outside. The heart shape of a strawberry gives you an indication of one of the body parts it benefits the most. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamins C and K as well as providing a good dose of fiber, folic acid, manganese and potassium. The vibrant red colour of strawberries contains powerful antioxidants and are thought to protect against inflammation, cancer and heart disease.

Who doesn’t love the taste of chocolate? Before chocolate becomes what it is, it is initially just plain cacao, of course for it to become chocolate it goes through a few processes and other ingredients are added such as sugar. In this form, you do not get all the health benefits that are found in pure raw cacao. These include a high content of B vitamins and vitamin C. The antioxidant properties fight cancer-causing free radicals. Other benefits include improved digestion, lowering blood pressure, increasing blood circulation, and improved cardiovascular health.
