A few words about raw chocolate

Raw cacao beans are one of the most powerful living foods available. They are listed as number four of the eight most nutrient dense foods in the world, containing over 300 chemically identifiable compounds. Raw beans and cacao possess a multitude of benefits.

Due to research, cacao and cacao beans are shown to help neutralizing free radicals, improve cardiovascular health, regulate heartbeat, reduce PMS symptoms – and most of all, it gifts us with a sense of happiness and wellbeing.

They contain little to no caffeine and can act as a natural energy enhancer.

“Cacao beans are so nutrient dense that scientists have not even begun to identify all the benefits in the little bean yet. Don’t grab a Snickers though – the good stuff is found only in raw cacao beans or nibs (or really, really dark chocolate). Minerals, vitamins and tons of antioxidants are great for your heart and skin and release chemicals in the brain that make you feel like you’re in love!” www.organicauthority.com

What more could we wish for? Oh yes, of course: GREAT TASTE! Which we get in abundance too. No wonder cacao was called ‘Food of the Gods’ by the Mayans.

The beans are fermented for about 3-4 days and then sun-dried. They are not roasted, thus retaining all their minerals and vitamins. These make all the difference and make the raw chocolate so valuable to your health.

This said, of course it should be consumed with moderation, as a special treat and with the appreciation it deserves.

So go ahead and enjoy your daily piece of raw chocolate!
