Dark greens like Lacinato (aka Dino) Kale are rich in Lutein. Lutein is a carotenoid that supports healthy eyes preventing macular eye degeneration. Enjoy your kale greens with some healthy fats like olive oil, avocados or almonds to allow better lutein absorption.

Getting back to an old hobby upon Naomi's request, since she loves Daddy's chocolate, I had to do more! The beans are from the state of Oaxaca, in Mexico City. Deep cacao taste, with some tones of nut, and mild fruity taste.

First step (after roasting) of making a traditional bean to bar is (winnowing) removing the skin of the bean, I found using a small food processor works great, although you have to do it in couple batches.

Next is to remove the skin from the nibs. A blow dryer works great, but you have to do it out doors, because it can get very messy! You will have some small percentage left, that's ok!

Keeping it zero waste, the left over skin goes to the compost!

"We have only 60 harvests [years] left before the world loses its ability to produce any food.” But some people are taking action to prevent this
