Cacao has many benefits including,
· High in antioxidants: Antioxidants are key to shielding the body from free radicals that vastly harms the body and degenerate healthy cells. They’re crucial in lowering blood pressure and insulin resistance, and help prevent pre-mature ageing.
· High magnesium content: Magnesium is essential for muscle and nerve functioning while majorly contributing to energy production in the body.
· Iron: Fights anaemic symptoms and fatigue.
· PEA (the love chemical!), Serotonin and Anandamide (the bliss molecule!): These neurotransmitters are natural mood enhancers and provide more focus and awareness.

With the impending departure of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU) on 29th March 2019, it is essential we are as prepared as possible.
In a no-deal scenario, the UK will fall back onto World Trade Organisation (WTO) tariffs.
The UK has taken the current EU WTO tariff schedule and, essentially, copied and pasted them as the fallback position for the UK. Although presented to the WTO, they will not be live until the UK exits the EU. Even if any WTO member objects, the tariffs will still be valid while the WTO members ratify the schedule .
With regards to imports from countries outside the EU, nothing should change. Those countries will still pay the tariffs they paid when we were part of the EU, unless the UK Government enters negotiations with supplying countries and creates separate Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).
Current duty rates, quotas and existing FTAs can be found here: Current UK Government Tariffs or here EU Tariffs
The major change will be with our dealings with the remaining EU countries.
On 29th March 2019, the EU will become a third country and any imports from the EU will be subject to the third country duty that the UK government have set (current third country rates are available from the UK Gov link above) .
In the event of a no-deal Brexit tariffs will be based on the WTO’s “Most Favoured Nation” principle.
The UK Government has produced an overview of what those rates may be : (Possible WTO MFN Tariffs)
With regards to quotas, as part of the EU, any quotas are negotiated by the EU and split proportionately between EU members.
In a no-deal scenario, the UK may agree to keep those quotas we currently have, irrespective of what the EU does.
Current EU quotas can be found here: Current EU quotas
This is obviously a period of uncertainty, but we can be as prepared as much as possible for any scenario.

#BrazilNuts are unique and only grow in the #amazonrainforest. They are completely #sustainable, provide income for thousands of people and protect the environment around them. For many years we have seen the magic along with the harshness of this collection but have always found words did not sufficiently describe it. So this season #Voicevale arranged for a film crew to travel to #bellavista #bolivia and then even deeper into the #amazon to try to bring back footage of the beautiful, difficult but rewarding work of the Brazil Nut harvest. I hope, like us, you fall in love with Brazil Nuts and now know part of their fascinating journey.
