Product Overview
The Mayan Superfood
Â
Cacao (pronounced ka-kow) beans are the seeds of an Amazonian fruiting tree and source of all chocolate and cocoa products. Pulverising our raw Nibs separates them into creamy Cacao Butter and beautiful rich, raw Cacao Powder. As the temperature is never allowed to exceed 40°C, the powder is considered a ‘raw' food with all heat-sensitive vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants remaining intact, thereby maximising digestion and absorption. In fact, our blend of Peruvian and West African powder has over 360% MORE antioxidants than regular cocoa !!
Â
Suggested Uses:Â Add to smoothies or milkshakes, make hot chocolate, sprinkle on coffee or icecream, add to cookie or muffin batter, or substitute for regular cocoa powder in dessert recipes.

Customer Feedback:Â "Hi, I have received my Peruvian Cacao and love the flavour. It is rich and deep and makes a great cup of hot chocolate with hot water and a dash of maple syrup and a little milk. I love dark chocolate and have tried it all over the place but this is one of the best. Thanks so much - just drinking a cup right now! Sincerely, P.R. Victoria
