Shangri-La Green Store: Superfood Pecan Pie Butter

Ingredients: Pecans, Star Anise, Cinnamon, Molasses, Coconut Cream, Vanilla Extract (alcohol free)

In a 12 oz glass jar, this delicious Pecan Pie Butter tastes like the dessert, and is made with love in a volcanic rock / basalt molcajete mortar and pestle which adds extra beneficial mineral content. The star of the superfood ingredients is the Star Anise, although all of the them are nutrient dense. Star Anise is known for containing powerful medicinal compounds, including Shikimic Acid and Quercetin, as well as adding a delightfully complex flavor and functioning as a natural preservative. Molasses is also a beneficial sweetener, rich in iron, magnesium and calcium for example.

This wholesome condiment is designed to be irresistible and satiating – you probably won’t eat the whole jar in a sitting or two, because of the nutrient density! It is quite filling with minerals, healthy fat and flavor.

This is a great example of not necessarily needing a factory to produce a quality product, and in a short amount of time! And ‘byproducts’ such as the Star Anise husk, can go towards creating something else.
