Cacao is the seed of a fruit of an Amazonian tree that was brought to Central America during or before the time of the Olmecs. Cacao beans were so revered by the Mayans and Aztecs that they used them as money! All chocolate comes from cacao, or cocoa, as it is more commonly known.

What is Raw Organic Cacao Powder (Chocolate Powder)?

Raw Organic Chocolate Powder is created by cold-pressing Raw Cacao Nibs into a cake separating the oil from the protein and fiber. The remaining dry 'cake-like' material is then cold-ground, fine-milled and sifted so that only the finest, most bio-available raw cacao particles filter through into the finished product. The temperature is never allowed to exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit and is usually 104 degrees F (conventionally processed cocoa powders are exposed to temperatures as high as 300 degrees Fahrenheit!). This low temperature process keeps delicate vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants intact, allowing for maximum digestion and absorption.

How To Use This Product:

Add cacao powder to all your favorite smoothies, elixirs, teas, coffee mixes, protein drinks, desserts or anything else you can think of. Just one or two spoonfuls can transform any recipe into a healthy chocolate treat. It even goes great on top of fresh fruit!

Storage: Refrigeration or storage in a cool, dry place (out of direct sunlight) is recommended, yet not required. Raw Organic Chocolate Powder is microbe-free and highly-stable.
