Health Benefits
- Cacao powder has the highest concentration of antioxydants in any food known to man. It is 20 times more concentrated in antioxydants than 70% cocoa chocolate, and about 15 times more than green tea and red wine.
- Cacao powder has the highest concentration of several key nutrients, including iron and magnesium. Deficient in magnesium has been linked with the vast majority of the chronic diseases that plague our society.
- Cacao is virtually the only food in the world that helps our brain produce more “feel-good hormones”. It contains PEA (increases dopamine production), Tryptophan (increases serotonin production), and Anandamide (known as the “Bliss Chemical”- it’s usually released when we are in love or after physical exercise). Consuming Raw Cacao makes us feel slightly feel amazing, slightly high and euphoric.
Add to your healthy diet
There are many ways to add cocoa powder to your diet. One of the best and easiest way to take cacao powder is by mixing the powder with hot water or milk. Some research has found that mixing dairy with cacao inhibits the absorption of the nutrients. So to get the most health benefits from your cup of cacao, try using a milk substitute such as coconut milk, soy milk, rice milk or just plain water.
You can also use cacao powder to make puddings, sprinkled over fruit, make snack bars, make fudge and brownies... A quick Web search will give you lots of recipes!
