What is Kakvi? How does it compare to Jaggery and Honey?
Sugar, in and of itself, isn’t bad.
Sugar, made in a factory, refined until it loses all nutrition, and then hidden (using various fake names) at the back of the pack — is bad. Because that sugar leaves you craving for more, and you can’t even make a conscious choice since you don’t know it’s in there.
So, when it came to using a sugar in our Muesli range, we went to great lengths to find something that we could proudly use, and proudly declare upfront.
That something is Kakvi. The most-nutritious, and least processed form of sugarcane we could find. And here is the lowdown on what it is.
Note: No matter how nutritious it is, it’s still a sugar. So if you’re diabetic or completely off sugar, pls consult a doctor/nutritionist before trying this.
What is Kakvi?
Kakvi essentially translates to liquid jaggery. Solid Jaggery, or gur as we know it, is made from unrefined sugar. It is obtained by boiling raw, concentrated sugar cane juice. In itself, jaggery is far better a sweetener than commercial, refined sugar. And liquid jaggery goes one up on it!
Liquid Jaggery is the in-between product that is obtained after clarification, during the jaggery creation process. It’s made by boiling raw sugar cane juice in a cast iron. As the liquid begins to boil the molasses are separated out. (The removed molasses are usually used as cattle-feed in India.) Upon further…

What Else Is Made of Hemp?
Everybody knows about CBD, most people know about rope and paper.
But did you know that rope and paper have been made largely without hemp for around 100 years? And that the majority of hemp plants farmed in the US are for grain and fiber production, not for CBD at all!
This legacy of American Agricultural Products & Manufacturing got cancelled for a few generations because a couple of cultivars are psychoactive! Silly.
The sad result of that prohibition is that we haven’t preserved hemp processing and manufacturing practices and passed them through generations, slowly adapting them through innovation, or…
7 Important Things To Maximize Your CBD Products Shelf Life
While broad acceptance of CBD products is new and many CBD products have been on the market for a very short period of time, it’s reasonable to wonder whether your CBD products will go bad.

Where Hemp Protein Powder Comes From
When a mommy hemp protein and a daddy hemp protein love each other very much…
Just kidding. That’s not it.
Industrial hemp that’s grown for grain is typically planted pretty close together and harvested after about nine weeks. Depending on the cultivar, each acre of industrial hemp planted will yield between a half and full ton of hemp grain, or seeds.
Hemp protein powder comes from what’s left over after oil is extracted from industrial hemp seeds.
Sometimes, the solids from the process of extracting the seeds are simply ground into powder. …
