Description
Mucuna pruriens — velvet bean — is a tropical legume treasured for centuries in Ayurvedic tradition as a rejuvenating daily tonic. The bean is naturally rich in L-dopa, and the roasted, ground powder has a deep, earthy, coffee-adjacent flavour that folds beautifully into cacao, smoothies and golden-mylk blends.
Ours is clean, single-ingredient mucuna powder: nothing added, nothing taken away. Start with half a teaspoon and see how you like it — it plays especially well alongside cacao.
Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if pregnant or taking medication.
