The Coca leaf is not a drug
It is legal to purchase the coca leaf in Peru, South America and other countries. The products made from the coca leaf offer many benefits.
100 grams of coca flour contain:
- Vitamin A (1760 IU)
- Vitamin B2 (1.72 mg)
- Vitamin C (11.5 mg)
- Proteins (19.9 mg)
- Calcium (2097 mg) Great source for calcium!!!!!!
- Iron (9.8 mg)
Normally I use coca leaf to make a nice hot tea or chew when I need a boost. But recently I have been buying cakes made with the coca flour. For Christmas I bought a kokaton which is similar to the panetone (a rich Italian bread made with eggs, fruit, and butter and typically eaten at Christmas.)
In Peru you can also buy really nice coca wine. The coca leaf gives it a unique flavor.
Unfortunately the drug cocaine has given this wonderful plant a bad reputation and made it an illegal plant in many parts of the world.
I'm fortunate to meet many people who sell products made from the coca leaf and I have attended a few sacred ceremonies that pay respect to the coca leaf.
The coca plant is a sacred plant in Peru, South America and has a fantastic history behind it. Lets keep the history alive and support the legal use of the coca plant. Buy coca plant products to show support and to keep your body strong.
So if ever you have the chance to sample the fabulous cakes, wines, teas and assortments of other products made from the coca leaf. I urge you to jump right in and not worry. It is legal.
Mana Integral in Peru, South America is probably one of the most trusted names that make products out of the coca leaf.
