La data riportata sui prodotti NON freschi non è la data di scadenza, ma il TMC.
TMC significa Termine Minimo di Conservazione e NON è una data di scadenza. Il prodotto è sempre perfettamente commestibile dopo questa data. Quando su un prodotto leggete “da consumarsi preferibilmente entro…” significa che non è una data di scadenza ma il TMC termine minimo di conservazione.
PLEASE NOTE: Our products are very stable because they are in powdered form and contain mainly saturated fats, which are naturally very stable. We have tested many of them even more than one year past their TMC date, and they were still in perfect condition, including coconut milk, cocoa powder, erythritol, and arrowroot.
How to tell if a product is still good? Very simple!
Just take a look: are there any signs of mold, insects, or anything unusual?
Smell: smell?
If the answers to these two questions are no, the product is still good.
Think about this: the expiration date was invented 50 years ago. Humankind has existed for 2.5 million years. Your senses are perfectly capable of recognizing a product gone bad. Trust us!
10% of European food waste is caused by the misinterpretation of this date. Tell your friends about this important distinction between TMC and expiration date. Awareness will save the world.
Crunchy Cao is produced in a factory where gluten is occasionally present. All precautions are taken to avoid possible contamination but we cannot be certain that it is gluten-free until we test it. To date, gluten has never been detected in all batches produced.
All our products are suitable during pregnancy, except for Pure Biltong and Kaminwurz, due to their seasoning.
Pure Jerky is cooked, not raw meat, so there's no problem.
The only caution is Chokkino because it contains caffeine
A cup of Chokkino espresso contains only 11 mg of caffeine (an espresso coffee contains 80 mg)
EFSA's recommended daily limit of caffeine for pregnant women is 200 mg
Caffeine is naturally present in cocoa, and therefore also in chocolate. However, chocolate contains less caffeine than cocoa powder.
Cocoa powder contains less cocoa butter and therefore the caffeine is "concentrated"
recipes

Low carb ice cream that is made in two minutes (plus freezer).
With our Magic Powder you can make creamy, stable, sugar-free ice cream perfect for guilt-free summer.
INGREDIENTS
5 scoops (25 g) Magic Powder
50 ml boiling water (LONG level)
Protein Bliss Coconut
Crunchy Cao with salted caramel
PROCEDURE
Pour boiling water into the jar to the desired level.
Add Magic Powder and mix well until lumps are removed (with a milk frother it comes out perfect).
Pour the mixture into an ice cream mold and place in the freezer.
Once solid, dip it into Protein Bliss and garnish with Crunchy Cao.
Simple, fresh, clean.

Serves for an approximately 8-inch cake pan:
Make a Fluffy Pancakes the diameter of the cake pan, I made it larger and 25 scoops (125 grams) of Fluffy Pancakes and 175 ml of room temperature water.
It can also be made with Keto Pancakes, using the amount to make 5 pancakes for this type of cake pan.
For the cream: mix 120 grams (30 scoops) of Vanilla Dream with 300 ml boiling water and allow to cool. Once cooled, add 300 g of Greek yogurt and mix well. Basically you need to put 1 scoop (4 grams) of Vanilla Dream for every 10 g of yogurt. Vanilla Dream should be dissolved in boiling water, you have to use 10 ml for each scoop/4 grams of Vanilla. Example: with 300 g of yogurt you will need 30 scoops (120 g) of Vanilla Dream to be dissolved in 300 ml of boiling water.
It can also be made with cottage cheese, again 1 scoop of Vanilla Dream for every 10 grams of cottage cheese. We used 55 scoops of Vanilla Dream for 500 g of ricotta (I'm partial to 11!). Heat 330 ml of water, add the Vanilla Dream, mix, add to the ricotta and mix well.
You can also use Magic Powder instead of Vanilla Dream using 1 scoop for every 10 grams of yogurt, but this time they should be dissolved in 7 ml of water. Example: 300 g of yogurt will need 30 scoops (150 g) of Magic Powder to be dissolved in 210 ml of boiling water (in my opinion 5 ml per scoop would also be fine but I have yet to test it...). When the Magic Powder has cooled, combine it with the yogurt.
After combining Vanilla/Magic and yogurt, taste it: when it is cold the sweetness will be less noticeable. In case you want it sweeter add the sweetener you used: eritrtitol/honey/whatever you want 😜
Place the pancake on the bottom of the cake pan, pour the cream and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
Before serving you can spread a layer of Creamy Bliss hazelnut or one of our other spreads. Or jam, or a coulisse of fresh fruit.
Peach coulisse: blend ripe peaches with a blender and add a few drops of lemon to keep it from blackening.
Garnish with Crunchy Cao when serving the cake (so it stays crunchy)
If desired, you can add the gelatin to the fruit smoothie (10 grams per 200 g) mix and let it stand 10 minutes. Turn on the heat and melt the gelatin while stirring. When melted turn off the heat and let cool a little. Pour over the cake after it has thickened and put it back in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This will make a thick layer of fruit jelly.

I can't wait to try this recipe from MariaTeresa. @ketosi.sa ! Rich in protein and with very few carbohydrates
If you use sheep's or goat's ricotta, it will be even more digestible because sheep's and goat's milk contain only A2 betacasein.
INGREDIENTS
250 g ricotta cheese
70 g erythritol
30 g arrowroot
1 egg
20 g chocolate chips
Crunchy Cao to decorate
PROCEDURE
Preheat the oven to 200°.
Combine cottage cheese, erythritol, arrowroot and egg.
Knead until the mixture is smooth and uniform
Add chocolate chips
Put the mixture into two previously greased ramekins
Decorating with Crunchy Cao
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown

Here we are with a wonderful new recipe from MariaTeresa. @ketosi.sa some wonderful lowcarb and gluten-free muffins if you use glutee free oatmeal.

40 g erythritol
70 g Greek yogurt 5%
30 g butter
1 egg
2 tablespoons of Crunchy Cao Live Better
1/2 teaspoon phosphate-free yeast
Pinch of salt

CRUNCHY CAO - caramello salato, 175 g
Molto sfiziosi con yogurt o anche nel latte di cocco , ne bastano pochi a mio gusto, il cacao intorno si scioglie e il cereale resta bello croccante
