Cocao powder, especially the raw variety I use, has 40 times the antioxidants of blueberries.

About 1 out of 10 vanilla beans have bought at my local grocery or online have been dry and unusable. An expensive learning curve. But not to fear! Vanilla Powder words exactly the same and has none of the additives you’ll find in liquid vanilla. My favorite Vanilla Bean Powder is 100% raw, grown without chemicals and made in the USA.
