Description

Our cacao powder is wild-harvested from a minimum of 30 year old trees grown in volcanic high-altitude regions of Ecuador. This highly mineralized cacao will not cause any jitteriness due to its heirloom origin and lack of mycotoxins, mold, yeast, and fungus. 

Cacao is the highest food source of magnesium, antioxidants, and mood-enhancing neurotransmitters. Keep in mind that cacao is a stimulating food and should be used consciously.

All chocolate comes from the cacao bean, which is actually a nut. Historically, cacao was such a valued food that the Mayans and Aztecs used it as money instead of gold. They believed cacao moved one more into their heart and helped expand consciousness. The feel-good effects of raw chocolate make it even more healthy and enjoyable. Cacao is the most complex and nutrient dense food on this planet.

Properties of cacao include:

• Highest food source of antioxidants—higher than blueberries, red wine, acai, pomegranates, and goji berries combined.
