This week we have our Sweetheart Selections category on sale. It's an opportunity to make plans for Valentine's Day a few days early. We have a wide variety of Steaks, Chops, Seafood, Raw and Aged Cheeses, and of course Artisan Askinosie Chocolates. 

If you're new to US Wellness Meats, you may not even know that we also carry dark chocolate and paleo inspired snacks. We do indeed! There's a good reason why too. Dark chocolate is an ancient superfood with numerous health related benefits. It is a prebiotic and and has probiotic properties. It's one of those all-natural foods that make you wonder, "how in the world did this ever come to be?" It's a fascinating history that many believe had it's origins in central America amongst the ancient Mayans and Olmecs. Nobody knows for sure, but at some point somebody saw the cacao bean pods hanging from a tree and thought to make a drink out of the beans. Add a little sweetener or a spicy kick and you have a concoction worth more than precious stones or even gold to the ancients.

Today, we enjoy chocolate and understand a little of the science that makes it so valuable to our health and wellness. Dark chocolate has special chemicals that offer us a sense of natural mood altering joy and peace, as well as reducing stress and inflammation. That sounds pretty good. Read "Dark Chocolate...The Happiest Food on Earth" for more details.

We're fortunate to offer some of the highest quality chocolates in the world, right here at US Wellness Meats. These chocolates come to us from Ozark Chocolatier, Askinosie. Our friends at Askinosie source their chocolates from various far off corners of the world to offer a chocolate experience like no other. Pick up some for your Valentine along with a tantalizing grass-fed steak for a homecooked date night for two. 

Well Wishes, Team USWM
