Okay people, we’ve talked about the wonders of raw chocolate (cacao nibs). We’ve talked about how the sheer deliciousness of chocolate made hot cocoa-swigging fools of both Europe and the Americas. Now, for the third of our four-part series on chocolate, we’re going to talk about nutrition.
Chocolate, both in raw, nibby form [...]

Now, we invite you to take it deeper with music that invokes the spirit of umoja–”unity” in Swahili, and the inspiration for our name. So sit back, have a bite, get in the groove, and [...]

Have y’all checked out the nifty nutrition calculator on our site? It calculates all the nutrition label information for your cereal AS you create it—so for instance you can add walnuts, and see how much protein per serving walnuts add. Then you can subtract them, add hazelnuts, and compare. It’s fun!
Yes, I admit it—I sit [...]
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why? Because while you sleep, your body uses energy to repair cell damage, keep your heart beating, and your brain dreaming! By the time you wake up, you’re running on fumes—in the form of glucose stored in your blood, muscles, and liver. Without a good breakfast, [...]
We’ve recently added a new ingredient to our menu, and we’d like to take this occasion to celebrate it: let’s hear it for the all-American pecan!
Native to this land, the buttery-rich pecan takes its name from the Algonquin word pakan, which means “a nut so hard it has to be cracked with a stone”. Thomas [...]
