Vegan Chocolate in Nepal

Imagine, if you wanted to pursue veganism, a step further than vegetarianism and you just couldn’t find the products that encouraged being vegan in the Nepali market. It would be quite a bummer, wouldn’t it? How glad would you be to know that vegan chocolates are now available in Nepal? And it’s a Nepali brand. Columbus Chocolates has got your back for vegan chocolates.

I was searching the market for vegan chocolate a couple of years ago. Not that I’m vegan, but I just wanted to know if it was available for people who wanted to be in Nepal and for people who could not pursue milk products due to their lactose intolerance. I brought up the lack of vegan products in my other article Vegan Doughnuts in Nepal and how glad I was to know that vegan doughnuts were being introduced by Tasty Doughnuts. I’m glad to know many vegan options are available in Nepal for people who want to pursue a vegan diet; like vegan butter or vegan milk. But what caught my eye was vegan chocolate by Columbus Chocolates.

Columbus Chocolates took off in the year 2011 with a limited choice of flavors in the beginning. Vegan chocolates came in the picture in the year 2020 and I wish I knew about this sooner. Columbus chocolates introduced their vegan options in the market when many of their customers requested. How great is that people are seeing the benefits of vegan chocolates? Why pursue vegan chocolates, if you’re curious? Chocolates are made from cacao beans which mean that chocolates are plant based by definition. And here’s a little secret; regularly consuming a small amount of dark chocolate is actually good for your health. They are nutritious. Columbus Chocolates make dark chocolates, semi-dark chocolates and white chocolates besides their vegan options. And all their chocolates are available in custom packages that you can make for any special occasions.

I am so glad Columbus Chocolates has brought this option for people who would like to pursue vegan chocolate. Go ahead; give Columbus chocolates a try. They are delicious. You can order from them directly at : columbuschocolatenepal. Their chocolates are also available at various outlets across town like Home Grocer.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Everyday Phases by my Mother part 2

I have been meaning to write this part 2, especially after Every Day Phrases by my Mother , the first part was liked by so many and also because, well, the phrases and the dialogues never end with my mother. I did tease her about writing a book or making a scrapbook about all her phrases, but we never got around to it. So here we are, after almost 4 years, apologies if the Nepal bhasa wordings are incorrect somewhere Ne tha ne masau Bhwauthau pwa This is basically saying, not being able to take advantage of the situation or not doing what you are supposed to do at the event. If you get invited somewhere that has food, you should eat there. Neu twanyu tha yu yethe, jui chwanyu kata pinyu yethe I have heard this one many times. In the society that we live in, impression and your social image matters a lot, especially when it comes to family prestige. So it does not matter what you do at home but once you step outside, there is this social obligation of dressing appropriately, behav...

The Oldest Kumari

Dhana Kumari Bajracharya resides amidst the hustle and bustle in Gabahal, Patan. She is a 70 year old woman, who you would think is much younger at age, if you look at her. Age seems to have done justice to this beautiful woman. What makes this wise old woman different than other wise old women in Patan? She is the oldest Kumari of Patan. Kumari, the living goddess is a tradition or a practice that has been around for many years and that has been celebrated widely in the Kathmandu Valley. The very first Kumari goes back to 17 th Century. The process to choose the Kumari is divine and a girl must go through several tests to get chosen as the Kumari. Dhana Kumari Bajracharya is the longest serving Kumari of Patan having been established as the Kumari from 2010 B.S to 2042 B.S. A whooping 32 years. Perhaps her case is the most rare that we might come across. A girl serves as a Kumari until she reaches puberty, or she has her first menstruation. After that, it is believed that th...
