First Foods Group, Inc. is announcing the launch of Southeast Chocolates, a new functional chocolate line of products to support immune health and energy, as well as boost antioxidants. Hand-crafted in small batches, these functional chocolate bites are full of delicious wellness.
Moises Davidovits, a third-generation artisanal chocolate maker and Master Chocolatier for the company, says Southeast Chocolates allow people to enjoy delectable sweets with a specific purpose “These chocolates provide a source of healthy functional ingredients” he says, “and are natural, with yummy and healthy ingredients that enhance your taste buds with every bite.”
Davidovits’ mission is to demonstrate to the world that chocolate can be healthy and creative without sacrificing flavor. Southeast Chocolates blend immune-boosting ingredients with sustainably-sourced cacao from the Caribbean and South America, leveraging the original functional, antioxidant health properties of chocolate, while being packed with special ingredients to nourish the body and delight the taste buds.
“Cacao is actually a better transmitter of vitamins and nutrients than any other snack with sugar,” he says, “because cacao butter is one of the healthier fats available, so when getting functional ingredients into the body, it’s easier for the body to absorb them if they’re contained within a healthier fat.
Southeast Chocolates contain ingredients like turmeric, elderberry, lion’s mane, 5-HTP, melatonin, maca root, and coconut milk, and are free of gluten, dairy, and soy. Southeast Chocolates are also vegan, kosher, and NON-GMO.
Davidovits is a former IT professional who grew up in Venezuela and learned firsthand how to grow and process cacao from the bean to the chocolate bar. His leadership proved instrumental in growing his family’s small factory into one of the top suppliers of cacao-related products in Venezuela. He’s had an extensive and successful career making chocolate in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. In 2016, Davidovits’ own chocolate brand “Khao Caribe” made the Forbes list of 30 Promising Businesses to Watch in the Dominican Republic, among other prestigious international awards.
“Most cacao related products come either on a full bar, or as a powder, making it inconvenient to handle and requiring you to prepare it before consuming it,” he says, “but Southeast Chocolates offer multiple flavors available in separate pieces and in a convenient tin to make snacking a no brainer.”
Chocolate Fighters offer antioxidant support, and feature Maqui Berries, Goji Berries, Acai Berries, Elderberry, and Raspberry. Chocolate Immunity, featuring Curcumin Extract, Ginger, Lemon Oil and Black Pepper, is for immune support. And Chocolate Boost, with Maca root and Coffee, is for energy support.
Southeast Chocolates are available through cold-shipped two-day delivery, online at www.southeastchocolates.com, and in bricks-and-mortar retail stores throughout the United States.
