ORGANIC RAW CACAO
WHY RAW CACAO
Cacao is an evergreen plant that is very abundant in tropical regions of Central and South America. The seeds, called either Cacao beans or Cocoa beans are used to make cocoa mass, cacao or cocoa powder, confectionery products, and chocolate. All the variations of chocolate we eat are derived from these beans.
Both cacao and cocoa powder are excellent sources of fiber, they contain some protein while having relatively low-fat content. Though cocoa provides some health benefits, raw cacao powder far outweighs the nutritional properties of cocoa.
Raw cacao powder contains more than 300 different chemical compounds and nearly four times the antioxidant power of your average dark chocolate. Therefore, those that we consume from the supermarket are already processed and unfortunately, high temperature processing and refining likely destroys the cacao beans’ micronutrients along with its other benefits.
