PAKTLI means JOY in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, one of the ancient cultures that revered amaranth. I grew up in Mexico eating ALEGRIAS (which also means JOY!), a snack dating to the 16th century made from puffed amaranth and honey or chocolate. PAKTLI is my version of the ancient Mexican alegrías. I use puffed amaranth plus puffed quinoa and millet, highly nutritious ancient grains that are also considered superfoods. I mix the grains with high-quality organic ingredients including chocolates, and whole dried fruits and nuts. Never any additives. Always preservative-free. I hope you enjoy and that your days are filled with PAKTLI. -Seena Chriti
