Why I use cacao powder vs. cocoa powder

I prefer using unrefined cacao powder for it’s higher nutrient content. Cacao is fermented and processed at a low temperature before grounding into powder keeping the high level of antioxidants and minerals making it a superfood.

Superfoods are recognized as foods that contain higher quantities of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other health-boosting, anti-aging, disease-fighting goodness.

Traditional cocoa powder and chocolate have been chemically processed and roasted, which destroys a large amount of the antioxidants and flavanols (the nutrients that keep you young and healthy).

5 BENEFITS OF RAW ORGANIC CACAO

  1. 40 Times the Antioxidants of Blueberries
  2. High plant based source of Iron
  3. More calcium than cows milk
  4. Full of magnesium for a healthy heart and mind
  5. Natures anti-depressant and mood booster
