Grown on our farm in northern Guatemala, these kernels are carefully roasted, cracked, and shelled by hand to preserve their natural character and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavor is warm, earthy, and deeply comforting with notes of toasted grain, dark chocolate, malt, roasted nuts, and subtle coffee. Unlike cacao, pataxte carries a softer bitterness and a rich almost bread-like quality that becomes more pronounced as it melts on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 8 ounce bag. (227 G)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are especially proud of this product because it begins on our own farm in Alta Verapaz, where pataxte still grows in the same region it has for generations. The fruit is harvested by hand, then slowly roasted in small batches before being carefully cracked and sorted to remove the shell and preserve only the finest kernels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePataxte has traditionally been used in drinks, porridges, and ceremonial foods throughout Guatemala and southern Mexico. Today it remains rare outside the region, known mostly within the communities where it has long been cultivated and prepared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy the kernels by the handful, grind them into traditional beverages, blend them with coffee or cacao, or use them anywhere a deep roasted flavor is welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBean Origin: Alta Verapaz, Guatemala\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients: Organic Pataxte Kernels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 8 ounces \/ 227 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes: Toasted malt, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, coffee, warm grain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllergy Notice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur products are crafted with care, but they are processed in facilities that also handle nuts, milk, vanilla, and cacao.
