Theobroma and Taquamari
These guys would not be content with a bit of lime flavor.
Theobroma has all these ingredients rarely combined into one beer:
- Honey
- Cocoa nibs
- Cocoa powder
- Ancho chilies
- Ground annatto. This is derived from the achiote tree, and can be used as a flavor with a taste of nutmeg and pepper, and as a red color. Because of the color, it is often used in lipstick such that the achiote is sometimes called the lipstick tree.
Taquamari is not far behind, with:
- Tapioca. This is a starch extracted from yuca or cassava root. Cassava is the third largest source of carbohydrates for human food in the world.
- Quinoa. Wiki explains that this is a grain-like pseudocereal closely related to spinach, beets and tumbleweeds.
- Amaranth. This is also known as pigweed. The grain was one of the staple foods of the Incas, and the leaf is widely consumed in many parts of the world.
- Basmati rice

While quinoa is related to beets and spinach, in flavor texture and appearance it is closer to a grain like rice or cous cous.
