It contains all you need for creating balance in your relationship with Pachamama, Mother Earth, with the intention of prosperity, work, study, abundance, harvest, and good health.
Some items, such as crackers and cookies, may have sustained cracking or crumbling in transit, however, your intention sets the energy for the offering and is not diminished by such damage.
