Banana and Cacao Nutritious Foods from Ecuador – WFP
With our Corporate Chef: Andrea López
At República del Cacao, we believe in the power of fine aroma cacao and the transformative benefits of natural and sustainable ingredients. Our partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP) is a clear example of this commitment. Together, we have developed nutritious recipes based on two iconic ingredients from our country: cacao and banana. These ingredients not only provide flavor but also offer a powerful combination of nutrients that improve the diet of those who consume them.
Cacao, rich in antioxidants and essential minerals, is a superfood that strengthens cardiovascular health and provides natural energy. For its part, banana is a key source of potassium, fiber, and vitamins. These two products have inspired us to create nutritious and delicious recipes, in which we have also included local ingredients such as máchica, or barley flour, instead of conventional flours.
The collaboration we maintain with the World Food Programme not only seeks to promote better nutrition but also to boost the consumption of two emblematic Ecuadorian products.
At República del Cacao, we are proud to join forces with the WFP to make healthy eating a reality accessible to all.
We thank our ally Termalimex and everyone who is part of this collaboration. Together, we are changing the world one cacao bean at a time!
