Vitamin P Inca Apricot Chocolates
This amazingly easy to make treat is full of bioflavonoids, also referred to as Vitamin P. The letter P stands for permeability: it determines capillary health (very thin vessels) by regulating permeability. With the help of Vitamin P we can support capillaries and may prevent haemorrhage, ruptures, bruising, viral infections, histamine overload and reduce inflammation*.
In Inca berries and apricots we find an abundance of vitamin P and it is crucial for our absorption of Vitamin C which is present in 70% raw dark chocolate.The combination of the tart Inca berries with the sweet dried apricots and bitterness of the chocolate is a match made in heaven.
Ingredients:
Vitamin P Inca Apricot Chocolates
10 dried brown apricots – cut in small pieces
2 tablespoons dried Inca berries
