Couldn't load pickup availability
DESCRIPTION: This bar is Mashpi's only semi-dark bar and it is very unique. It contains lupine bean powder to replace the milk that is normally used in the making of semi-dark bars. Lupine beans, or “chochos”; (as commonly known in Ecuador), are legumes that are cultivated in the Andes and are ubiquitous in Ecuadorian cuisine. Chochos have a high content of protein, even higher than soy! We use very little sugar in this bar, therefore this combination results in a chocolate bar that we commonly refer to as our superfood bar!
