Why Cacao Powder:
Chocolate beans are the source of all chocolate, cocoa and cocoa butter. Cacao or Theobroma Cacao (Theobroma literally means “Food of the Gods”) - beans were so highly cherished by the Aztecs and Mayans that they were often used as currency and in religious ceremonies.
Today organic, raw cacao is gaining in popularity as a nutritious raw superfood. Cacao is incredibly rich in Magnesium and is most likely the number 1 source for this essential mineral. Other essential minerals present in Cacao are Calcium, Zinc, Iron, Copper, Sulfur, Magnesium and Potassium. The cacao bean also contains more antioxidant flavanoids than any other food tested - including blueberries, red wine and green tea. In fact studies have shown Cacao to have over twice as many antioxidants as red wine and three times as much as green tea.
Raw cacao contains many chemicals that enhance physical and mental well-being, including alkaloids, proteins, magnesium, beta-carotene, leucine, linoleic acid, lipase, lysine, and some neurotransmitters such as dopamine and anandamide which is the so-called "bliss" chemical associated with the feeling of being in love. Raw chocolate also contains theobromine which is similar in effect to caffeine.
