Nature's Superfoods Organic Raw Cacao Powder 250g

Nature’s Superfoods’ Organic Raw Cacao Powder (pronounced ‘Ka-CAW’) is made from organic unroasted cacao beans from the premium variety 'Criollo' (deemed as ‘king of cacao’ for its fine flavor & fragrance), ensuring maximum nutrient retention at every stage.

The raw cacao beans are lightly fermented to bring out the cocoa flavor, increase nutrient availability and reduce phytic acid content. Minimally processed and unroasted, raw cacao contains higher amounts of antioxidants, magnesium, iron and potassium than the highly processed, roasted cocoa. In short, the less heat applied, the more antioxidants and important nutrients you get from cacao.

CACAO, the superfood that makes you happy, is rich in Flavonoids, Polyphenols, Magnesium, Sulfur, Good Fats, Minerals, and Vitamins. Flavonoid antioxidants in cacao have significant benefits for the heart - this helps with blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

Raw Cacao is one of the world’s richest sources of antioxidants as well as bliss nutrients that act as a natural mood lifter; such as phenethylamine (PEA, the feel-good neurotransmitter responsible for the feeling of love), tryptophan (mood-enhancer and commonly deficient amino acid in those who consume a diet of mostly cooked food) and serotonin (a neurotransmitter that acts as an anti-depressant).

Q: What is the difference between Raw Cacao powder and processed cocoa powder?

A: Cocoa is raw cacao that’s been roasted at high temperatures. Sadly, roasting affects and lowers the overall nutritional value. Hence, Raw Cacao (non-roasted) has much higher levels of antioxidant flavonoids, enzymes, and minerals such are magnesium and iron.
