Could standardizing chocolate help small-scale farmers? Chocolate scientist Julien Simonis thinks it could help persuade consumers to pay for higher quality chocolate, in turn helping out these growers. Every cacao bean is different, and for a long time, there wasn't a standard way of comparing the quality of chocolate. But in 2009, a sustainable agriculture nonprofit started a program called Cacao of Excellence. The goal was to develop a standard way of evaluating cacao just like those sommelier's do with wine. So today, we're going behind the scenes of a chocolate laboratory to see just how cacao is evaluated. This story was originally reported for NPR by science correspondent Ari Daniel.

La RDC, futur géant du cacao ? C'est l'ambition du pays et du ministre du Commerce extérieur, Julien Paluku, qui s'est rendu la semaine dernière à Abidjan, siège de l'Organisation internationale du cacao (ICCO), pour y signer le nouvel accord du secteur nommé Accord international sur le cacao, qui entrera en vigueur cet automne. La RDC est le cinquième des producteurs africains. Le pays produit du cacao dans une douzaine de provinces, mais essentiellement à l'Est : Nord-Kivu, Sud-Kivu et Ituri, les régions les plus exposées aux conflits que connait le pays. L'année dernière, 92 000 tonnes de fèves ont été officiellement récoltées, c'est plus du double de ce qui était produit en 2021. Ce n'est un secret pour personne, une partie du cacao congolais échappe aux statistiques, en traversant illégalement la frontière, vers l'Ouganda notamment, mais quelle que soit la proportion de ce cacao « siphonnée », la production reste encore bien en deçà de celle du leader, la Côte d'Ivoire, qui produit plus de dix fois plus, en deçà aussi de celle du Cameroun et du Nigeria. Un million de tonnes en 2035 ? La RDC voit grand aujourd'hui et met en avant ses atouts : 80 millions d'hectares de terres arables, rappelle le ministre Julien Paluku, et un climat propice à la culture du cacao, précise l'ICCO. Deux arguments très théoriques mais néanmoins importants. Le ministre du commerce extérieur ambitionne une production de près d'un million de tonnes de fèves en 2035 et rêve de figurer dans le top 3 mondial. L'organisation internationale du cacao ne commente pas ces chiffres, mais confirme que le pays a le potentiel pour produire plus. Un autre facteur a peut-être aussi joué dans cet engouement pour le cacao : le prix. Si les cours mondiaux sont nettement redescendus, ils ont montré ces trois dernières années qu'ils pouvaient atteindre des niveaux exceptionnels et donc rémunérateurs pour les producteurs, dans un environnement comme la RDC où les prix sont libéralisés. Pour se mettre en conformité avec les attentes des pays consommateurs et des législations européennes, la RDC, à l'instar des autres pays producteurs, souhaite mettre l'accent sur la production durable de cacao et a sollicité la semaine dernière l'accompagnement de l'ICCO. À lire aussiCacao: la chute des prix inquiète les pays producteurs de l'ICCO qui tentent de trouver une parade Le défi du broyage L'autre rêve de la République démocratique du Congo est d'aller plus loin en matière de transformation pour créer de la valeur ajoutée. Aujourd'hui, il n'y a pas d'usine de broyage industriel en RDC, seulement de la transformation par de petits artisans, on parle donc de quantités minimes. « Les volumes de fèves sont encore loin d'avoir atteint le seuil critique qui justifierait l'installation d'un broyeur d'envergure internationale », explique un expert du secteur. Mais rien n'empêche, précise notre interlocuteur, le développement de l'activité des artisans chocolatiers, pour éduquer les Congolais au goût du chocolat et proposer une offre haut de gamme à l'exportation. La bonne réputation des fèves de RDC est encore sous-exploitée au niveau économique. À lire aussiCrise du cacao en Côte d'Ivoire : un modèle en questions

In this episode, host Jack Eidt delves into the groundbreaking archaeological discoveries at the Huaca Montegrande site in the Peruvian Amazon with guest Karen Gordon, an associate at ASICAMPE, the nonprofit Association for Scientific Research of the Peruvian Amazon [https://abundantearthfoundation.org/ancientcacao/]. They explore the ancient Marañon culture, their sophisticated agroforestry practices, and the origins of cacao, the plant responsible for the world's chocolate. Traces of cacao have been found in 6,000-year-old ceremonial pottery vessels from what is now recognized as the oldest monumental temple site in Peru, predating the pyramids of Egypt or Mesopotamia. Tune in to learn how these findings are rewriting the history of organized human settlement and spirituality in the ancient Amazon. Nominated as one of the Top 10 Archaeological Discoveries in the World, Montegrande is currently unearthing the story of the ancient Amazonian Marañon Culture and their sophisticated agroforestry practices, social structure, and cosmovision – 3,000 years before the more well-studied Inca and Nazca cultures. These findings completely rewrite the history of organized human settlement and spirituality in the ancient Amazon. Groundbreaking evidence from Montegrande points to the Marañon Culture as being the earliest human stewards of cacao in the world, tending its domestication, cultivation, veneration and trade.

La Ciudad de Buenos Aires volvió a ser escenario de reflexión social y actualidad en una nueva emisión de Reporte Urbano, el ciclo conducido por el Dipl. Mg. Dr. Roberto Villalobos Atlas, abogado penal y de familia, periodista y especialista en violencia familiar, obstrucción de vínculos e impedimento de contacto. La emisión, transmitida a través de Radio Orión y más de 50 retransmisoras asociadas en ocho países, reafirmó el perfil federal e interdisciplinario del programa, declarado de Interés para la Comunicación Social de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires por la Legislatura porteña e integrante del Registro de Medios Oficiales del Gobierno de la Ciudad. La transmisión contó con la participación de Silvana Ridner, doctora y licenciada en medicina natural y naturopatía, Luciana Canziani, licenciada y perito psicóloga, Griselda Scelato, abogada, Víctor Lennin Morales Navarro, psicólogo, Antonio Faná, periodista de espectáculos, Julio Pardo, periodista deportivo, y la operación técnica de Fabrizio Guerrero. Uno de los temas centrales fue la campaña solidaria impulsada por Vía Solidaria Argentina en el barrio porteño de Caballito, donde se realizó un intercambio de camperas usadas para asistir a personas en situación de calle durante las bajas temperaturas. Silvana Ridner explicó que la iniciativa permitió recolectar más de 200 camperas destinadas a personas vulnerables, destacando el compromiso social de vecinos y organizaciones comunitarias. Durante el debate, Villalobos Atlas remarcó la importancia de educar en valores solidarios desde la infancia y sostuvo que las acciones comunitarias cumplen un rol fundamental en contextos de crisis económica y social. En la misma línea, Víctor Lennin Morales Navarro analizó desde la psicología cómo el individualismo y ciertas conductas narcisistas pueden debilitar la empatía colectiva y dificultar la construcción de redes de ayuda social. La licenciada y perito psicóloga Luciana Canziani aportó una mirada técnica sobre la importancia de la empatía, la comunicación y el trabajo colaborativo en contextos familiares y sociales complejos. Desde su experiencia profesional, analizó cómo las dinámicas de crisis pueden afectar los vínculos y remarcó la necesidad de fortalecer espacios de escucha, acompañamiento y prevención, especialmente cuando se trata de niños, adolescentes y personas en situación de vulnerabilidad. El programa también puso el foco en la prevención sanitaria en establecimientos educativos y hospitales. La especialista en prevención y control de infecciones Elena Andion brindó recomendaciones para reducir contagios estacionales, especialmente en escuelas y centros de salud. Destacó la importancia de la ventilación de ambientes, el lavado frecuente de manos y la vacunación anual contra gripe y neumococo, en particular en adultos mayores y pacientes con enfermedades crónicas. En paralelo, la abogada Griselda Scelato se refirió a las dificultades que atraviesan actualmente muchos expedientes judiciales debido a la falta de lectura adecuada de escritos y presentaciones, situación que genera demoras y dilaciones innecesarias. La letrada subrayó la importancia de mejorar la comunicación entre profesionales y fortalecer la responsabilidad institucional dentro del sistema judicial. El segmento cultural tuvo como protagonista a la doctora Julieta Strasberg, abogada y escritora, quien presentó su libro “Umbrales de Fuego”, una obra que reúne cuentos, poesías y prosas poéticas vinculadas a la memoria, la identidad y la resiliencia. Roberto Villalobos Atlas destacó el valor de la escritura como herramienta de sanación y construcción subjetiva. En el tramo final, María Cecilia Castro, creadora de Cacao para el Alma, presentó dos propuestas solidarias y culturales. Por un lado, anunció la feria a beneficio del Hogar Florecer, que se realizará el 7 de junio, de 12 a 18, en el Club Imperio Juniors, con convocatoria a emprendedores y stands destinados a reunir fondos para la institución. Además, invitó al encuentro “Cacao para el Alma”, previsto para el sábado 23 de mayo a las 17 en El Restaurador, Almagro, una experiencia que combina cata de chocolate, literatura sensual y charla sobre sexualidad, con la participación del Dr. Adrián Rosa, médico sexólogo UBA y creador de SexualizArte, junto a autoras invitadas como Adelina Camarano, profesora en Letras y escritora, y Flori Altieri, poeta, docente universitaria y licenciada en Crítica de las Artes. El espacio propone recuperar el encuentro presencial, la palabra y la inteligencia vincular en tiempos atravesados por la tecnología. En deportes, Julio Pardo aportó información sobre la actualidad de clubes porteños y destacó el trabajo social de instituciones como Ferro Carril Oeste y Vélez Sarsfield. Por su parte, Antonio Faná repasó novedades del espectáculo argentino, los premios Martín Fierro y la actualidad de Gran Hermano. Con una agenda enfocada en la solidaridad, la salud pública, la cultura y la responsabilidad comunitaria, Reporte Urbano volvió a consolidarse como un espacio de referencia en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, promoviendo debates y acciones vinculadas al compromiso social y al bienestar colectivo.

In this episode we open the door to our retreat experience and the deeper architecture behind our work. We explore what it means to build a space that is free, accepting, safe and even pleasurable without losing the rigor or depth. This conversation moves through the intentional design of our community, where processing is not isolated but shared, and where individual insight becomes collective movement. We also recount the Cacao ceremony and What it represents, how it functions psychologically and symbolically and why it serves as a threshold experience rather than a performance. This is not about spectacle but about direct encounter with fear, identity and the possibility of deliberate transformation. This episode is less about answers and more about orientation on how to live, practice and relate when the systems we inhabit are both the source of our conditioning and the field in which we attempt to wake up in. If you've attended our retreats you'll recognize the terrain if not, this serves as an entry point into the work. Please feel free to share this with anyone interested in community based practice, psychological transformation or the question of whether real change is possible within the systems we repeatedly recreate.

Let's discuss 5 things that happen inside you right now by making blueberries a daily habit: • You Slow Down Brain Aging. • These "Brain Berries" contain Antho-cya-nins that cross the blood-brain barrier. • Research shows they boost cognitive function by up to 20%, scrubbing away "brain rust" and improving memory recall. • Your Blood Pressure Drops Naturally. • High blood pressure damages your artery lining, making it like Velcro for plaque. • Blueberries smooth out that lining. It's a daily "system reset" that keeps arteries slippery and flexible. • You Protect Your Vision. • They strengthen the tiny blood vessels in your eyes, helping to prevent macular degeneration and cataracts. • You Reduce Your Diabetes Risk. • Despite being sweet, they improve insulin sensitivity. • They don't spike your blood sugar; they help manage it better than some medications. • You Fight Cancer. • Every day, your DNA takes hits from UV rays and pollution. The antioxidants in blueberries "patch" these holes and destroy abnormal cells before they become tumors. So, blueberries are a miracle food. But what if there were another food that could deliver these same antioxidant benefits 40 times over? And what if, rather than fruit, it was a decadent dessert? ________________________________________ Segment 2: The "King" of antioxidants. It's not a berry. It's Ca-cao. The plant source of chocolate. • "The ORAC Score" – (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is the scoreboard for antioxidants. o Blueberries rank highest of all berries. o But Cacao scores up to 40 times higher o It is the most chemically complex food on earth Inflammation is the root of all evil  joint pain, weight gain, brain fog. o Cacao is the most potent anti-inflammatory food in the world. It cools down the "fire" in your joints. o It contains An-an-dam-ide (The Bliss Molecule) and Theo-bromine. o Unlike caffeine which makes you jittery, Theo-bromine opens up blood vessels (lowering that blood pressure even more) while lifting your spirts. ________________________________________ Segment 3: The bad news is that Snickers bars don't count. They are Alkalized: Regular Coco is treated to taste less bitter, which strips 60-90% of the medicinal antioxidants. Meaning you're eating empty calories. 1. To make it sweet, they add massive amounts of sugar, 1. That causes the inflammation you are trying to fight. You need "Functional Chocolate." • A specific blend of Raw Cacao and Collagen Peptides. • The Cacao protects the joints (anti-inflammatory), • And the Collagen rebuilds them (structural repair). So, here is the best strategy: Swap your current desserts for healthy chocolate treats to... • Flood your body with cell-repairing antioxidants 40x blueberries. • Lower blood pressure and reduce stress. • Boost cognitive function by 20% and slow brain aging. • Protect your vision. • Reduce diabetes risk and fight cancer. • Develop better skin and lessen joint pain while you sleep. Call to Action • Now, to get the benefits of 40 bowls of blueberries in some delicious dessert recipes... • Visit DennisJHenson.com and look under the Health Tab.

Quizás sea un vicio de los malos,  pero siempre me han encantado los productos que son casi invisibles.  Por suerte algunos de ellos ahora empiezan a concentrar fama y atención, como el mezcal, pero otros siguen ninguneados.  A  mi parecer ese es el caso del cacao mexicano,  si bien todos hemos comido y disfrutado de algún tipo de chocolate, conozco a muy poca gente que me pueda hablar de regiones, variedades o productores específicos.  En esta conversación con Karina Archundia, reina indiscutible del cacao en la gran ciudad de México, hablamos de pinole, chocolate, policultivos y varias otras cosas bellas.

La Côte d'Ivoire, premier producteur mondial de cacao, a divisé de plus de moitié le prix d'achat de "l'or brun" aux planteurs.  Le nouveau prix, 1 200 francs CFA (1,82 euros) est inférieur de près de 60% au montant record de 2 800 francs (4,26 euros) en vigueur depuis octobre, une coupe qui intervient dans un contexte de chute des cours mondiaux et d'une crise de surstockage.

This eipsode is brought to you from... Ecuador! This episode is a taste of our recent trip with EcoEndurance to Ecuador. In this episode, Alejandro allowed us to record some of the history of conservation at Mashpi Chocolate which the group visits on Day 2 of the EcoEndurance tour in the cloud forest. Alejandro is the reserve's ecologist. In addition to having in-depth knowledge of everything related to cocoa cultivation and working directly in its production, he is in charge of planting other species that accompany the cocoa trees. He does research on biodiversity and is a naturalist with a fierce gaze and feline intuition. Alejo also guides visitors on the farm and gives workshops on the permacultural management of our crop and our reserve. We are planning our next tour for 2027!

Click here to send me a quick message :) I'm sure every single one of us have experienced a craving for chocolate either during our premenstrual days or when we're bleeding. Our bodies crave chocolate with an innate knowing at different times of our cycle, really. Mine does at least!But today's guest, founder of Emerging Wisdom Cacao Samantha Veitch, shares a much deeper story on the ways cacao can support us through each phase of our cycle.And instead of just speaking to dark chocolate, she brings forward embodied wisdom around the more ritual and ceremonial nature of the cacao plant itself.Her experience with cacao began in Guatemala, where cacao holds a lineage of indigenous story and practice. And what's so interesting is that at exactly the same time cacao came into her, so did her awareness of the power of cyclical living. She shares her meandering organic journey of weaving drinking cacao and cyclical living together, becoming more and more deeply infused in both practices over time, and then learning ways to incorporate cacao *into* cyclical living practice to enhance each phase of the menstrual cycle.It's a really fun and beautiful way to interact with our cycles.Resources:Today's shownotes: Grab links to Samantha's cacao blends + offeringsBook: 4 seasons in 4 weeks by Suzanne Mathis McQueenBook: The Fourth Trimester by Kimberly Ann JohnsonClosing tomorrow Feb 22nd: Natural Contraception the Herbal Way 2026Episode 156: The Universal Mother Principles with Christine EckIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Chocolate's big history sweeps across the globe, and today we're going on that journey: from the pre–Columbus Americas, to an early 20th century reporter's hunch about what cocoa production really takes, to a 21st century medical student's story about his childhood on a farm that produces those holiday treats.Guests:Carla Martin, lecturer in African and African American Studies at Harvard University and President of the Board of the Institute for Cacao and Chocolate ResearchCatherine Higgs, professor of history at the University of British Columbia in CanadaShadrack Frimpong, founder of Cocoa360We've got a favor to ask: We know there are a lot of great NPR shows out there.. but we all know who's the best.  NPR is celebrating the best  podcasts of the year, and YOU get to crown the winner of the People's Choice Award.
