Behind the brand
How they do good
Sustainable Packaging
When it comes to packaging, Loving Earth leads the way. Avoiding plastic is a no brainer, but avoiding cutting down trees for cardboard is a gamechanger. One of the only brands using post-consumer fibre for their boxes, 100% compostable film to house the chocolate goodness means that you can snack, guilt-free knowing your impact on the environment is minimised.
Regenerative Farming
Establishing the Kemito Ene co-operative of Peru has ensured that this indigenous community can grow their crop as they have for generations, using traditional methods to protect and regenerate hectares of forest. This also means don’t need money from loggers or coca (cocaine) growers which are one of the main sources of destruction of the forest.
Conscious

Responsible Sourcing
By comitting to buy the Ashaninka communities entire cacao harvest at a premium, has allowed the blossoming of partnership to establish a certified organic, fair trade cooperative called Kemito Ene.
Inclusion

We invented the name to describe our activated buckwheat. Buckinis are grain-free, gluten-free, crunchy bundles of goodness that don’t go soggy in cold milk. And they’re not wheat, in fact they’re not even a grain - they’re a protein-packed seed. Why do we acitvate our buckwheat? Well, most cereals are puffed or toasted under extreme heat or pressure, which destroys their nutrients. We prefer to make the most of our ingredients, so we activate them. Activation is the same as sprouting – soaking the seeds in filtered water to release the enzyme inhibitors, bringing the seeds to life. Enzyme inhibitors exist to keep the seed dormant as it waits for the right conditions to germinate. This means they also prevent the nutrients in the seed from being released into your body when you eat it. Activating makes it easier for the body to absorb the nutrients.
