Have you ever wondered what organic raw cacao is? This type of cacao is a whole food that is minimally processed. It is made from the fermented, dried, and roasted seeds of the cacao tree. These seeds are called cocoa beans. The cocoa beans are ground into a paste, and the paste is used to make cacao powder, butter, and nibs.
Cacao powder is made by pressing the fat (cacao butter) from the cocoa beans. The resulting powder is about 22-54% cocoa butter, and it has a rich chocolate flavor. Cacao powder can be used in baking, smoothies, or other recipes like our chocolate bars.
Cacao nibs are pieces of roasted cocoa beans. They have a strong chocolate flavor and are a good source of fiber and antioxidants. Cacao nibs can be used in baking, granola, or as a topping for desserts.
Cacao butter is the fat that is pressed from the cocoa beans. It has a rich chocolate flavor and can be used in baking or as a body butter.
Organic raw cacao is a healthy alternative to processed chocolate because it contains more antioxidants and less sugar. Raw cacao also has mood-boosting properties due to its high content of magnesium and tryptophan.
