Indulgence, recalibrated. Airy puffed lotus seeds wrapped in rich 70% dark chocolate, with crushed almonds for depth and a whisper of vanilla to round the bitterness. A grown-up, cacao-forward treat that satisfies the sweet moment while keeping fibre high and sugar considered. Deep, elegant, never cloying.

Description

Chocolate cravings, meet your smarter match.

OurDark Cacao Makhana coats light, crunchy roasted lotus seeds in rich dark chocolate made with 68–72% cocoa solids, then adds crushed almonds for a deeper, nuttier crunch.

This is indulgence with intention. The dark chocolate brings genuine depth and bitterness, the kind grown-up palates love while the sugar stays controlled and the lotus-seed base keeps every piece surprisingly light. Resistant dextrin and acacia fibre boost the fibre content, and crushed almonds add protein and texture.

The effect is a satisfying, chocolatey snack that feels genuinely treat-like, yet delivers 8.5g of fibre and 4.3g of plant protein per pack.

Whether it's your post-dinner square-substitute, your afternoon pick-me-up or your cinema smuggle, Dark Cacao proves that better-for-you and genuinely delicious can live in the same pack.

Vegan-friendly recipe. Non-GMO.

Ingredients & flavours

Indulgence built on a lighter foundation. Roasted, puffed lotus seeds (makhana) give an airy, crunchy centre that carries the coating beautifully.

Each pearl is wrapped in rich dark chocolate - 68–72% cocoa mass for genuine depth and a clean snap, with crushed almonds folded through for bite and a touch of natural vanilla to round the bitterness.

Resistant dextrin and acacia fibre quietly lift the fibre content without altering the taste. The result is deep and cacao-forward, sweet but never sugary.

Flavour profile: rich dark cocoa → toasted almond → a smooth, lingering bittersweet finish.

Sourcing

Our lotus seeds (makhana) are traditionally grown and hand-harvested from the wetlands of South Asia, then gently roasted and puffed.

The Himalayan pink salt is mined from ancient mineral deposits and prized for its distinctive color and clean flavor.

We use responsibly sourced rapeseed oil. Non-GMO.
