The ingredients of the hemp and cocoa infusion
The blend is made up of various components, including seeds, leaves, and spices from various sources.
Hemp seeds come from the Cannabis sativa plant, also known as industrial hemp. It has been cultivated for millennia for its fiber and edible seeds, the achenes that are a traditional ingredient in Eastern cuisines. They are rich in nutrients and produce an oil rich in linoleic acids.
Cocoa husks are the outer layer of the cocoa beans of Theobroma cacao, a tropical plant native to Central America. The beans (seeds) are found inside the fruits, the elongated pods that contain them, immersed in a whitish, sweet pulp.
The apple is the fruit of the Malus domestica plant, native to Asia and now widespread throughout the planet. The famous fruits vary in color and in many variations in texture and flavor.
Buchu leaves belong to the plant Agathosma betulina (or crenulata), an aromatic shrub native to South Africa. It has historically been used by local populations for the properties of its leaves, rich in essential oils. They have traditionally been used to aid digestion and urinary tract function.
Blackberry leaves come from the bramble plant Rubus Fruticosus. They are used in herbal medicine for their astringent and antioxidant properties, as they are rich in tannins, flavonoids, and minerals.
Anise seeds are the fruit of the aromatic plant Pimpinella anisum, considered one of the oldest medicinal plants. The small seeds, ranging from green to yellow, are known in herbal medicine for aiding digestion and respiratory health.
Curcuma longa is a plant of Asian origin, from which the spice of the same name is obtained. It is obtained from the rhizomes, or underground stems of the plant, which are dried and ground. Turmeric is used both in cooking and in Ayurvedic tradition for its rich curcumin content.
Buckwheat is a plant, Fagopyrum esculentum Moench, classified as a cereal, as its seeds (grains) have been used as a food source for centuries. The puffed version of buckwheat is crunchy and light, perfect for infusions.
