Its bitters turn on all the bitter receptors throughout your digestive tract and tell your liver and gallbladder to detox. Dandelion root is also a rich source of inulin, a prebiotic soluble fiber that feeds your beneficial digestive flora, also called probiotics. Brewing dandelion root in hot water naturally extracts its inulin.

Growing to a height of 130 feet, Ramón trees are an essential part of the upper canopy in Central American rainforests. Now wild harvested in Guatemala's Maya Biosphere Reserve, this nutritious seed provides a source of food and income for rural communities. Comparable to walnuts for their ability to fight free radicals, Ramón seeds contain more potassium, fiber and calcium than any other bean or grain. It has a complete protein that is high in tryptophan to help calm your nerves in stressful times. Ramón seeds are also known as Capomo, Ojoche, Maya Nut, Ramon nut, bread nut, mojo, masica and many other native Central American names.* | Organic Chicory Roasted chicory root, France's favorite coffee alternative, imparts a smooth, non-acidic, full-bodied depth to Teeccino.
