INTRODUCTION OF A. BIGCUORE. Yesterday I was in the cereal area of ​​the district of Brás, in São Paulo, (Rua Santa Rosa), to buy, as usual my functional foods.And I came to know another wonderful millenarian plant, whose origin is from the East. It is called Alfarrobeira and its fruit is a seed similar to cocoa, but much smaller.The advantage of it is that it has far less saturated fat (the so-called bad fat that enrtope the arteries, causing coronary diseases.Contains:

VITAMINS: A, B-1, B-2, B-6, B-12, Folic Acid (vit.B.9) and C. and niacin. It is antioxidant, and has the advantage over cocoa, which does NOT contain caffeine or theobromine.
 I got home and tried it. I put half a small spoon in the strawberry liquid yoghurt and it was delicious. You like chocolate. A yoghurt delight!

By the vitamins it contains and minerals, it improves the level of serotonin in the brain, giving the delicious feeling of well being.Like any good thing, it's expensive. The kilo costs around R $ 40,00 reais. Only it lasts a lot, because a small spoon a day is enough.Below are the Wikipedia comments, the free encyclopedia.
