Our Organic Raw Cacao Powder is made from whole cacao beans carefully harvested from the Theobroma cacao plant, known for its rich, subtle flavor and numerous health benefits. Gently processed at low temperatures to preserve its natural nutrients, our cacao powder offers a more delicate taste compared to roasted cacao, with a smooth, floral aroma and deep chocolate undertones. It’s perfect for adding to smoothies, energy bars, herbal beverages, and extracts.
Starting with raw whole cacao beans, we carefully wash and dry them using a forced air dehydrator. Once dried, the beans are husked and processed into smaller pieces, which are then cold-pressed to separate the cacao butter from the cacao cake. This cake is finely milled into our organic cacao powder, preserving the rich, unaltered flavor and beneficial nutrients.
Cacao has been cherished for over 3,500 years, dating back to ancient Mayan, Olmec, and Aztec civilizations, who not only used it medicinally but also consumed it as a spiced beverage. After the Spanish conquest in the 1500s, cacao spread to Europe and began to make its way around the world, becoming a beloved indulgence in many cultures.
Our cacao powder boasts a subtle, rich flavor that is less intense than roasted cacao. It has a slight floral quality that perfectly balances its deep, chocolatey base, making it a versatile ingredient in a variety of recipes.
Unlike processed chocolate, raw cacao maintains more of its antioxidants, magnesium, and other beneficial compounds. This makes it a popular choice for those looking to enjoy the health benefits of cacao without the added sugars or fats found in most commercial chocolate products. Health practitioners often recommend raw cacao beans and nibs over highly processed alternatives for the best health benefits.
Due to its caffeine content, cacao may cause nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, or, in rare cases, rapid heartbeat. Not recommended for children under 18. We recommend consulting with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using cacao if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
Our organic cacao powder is sourced from sustainably farmed cacao beans, ensuring the highest quality and purity while supporting ethical practices in cacao cultivation.
Enjoy the pure, unprocessed benefits of raw cacao and treat yourself to a richer, more authentic chocolate experience.
