Product Description



Organic Cacao Powder – Honest to Goodness – 350g


The Mayan Superfood

Organic cacao is picked from the tree and undergoes a natural fermentation process within it’s fruit like pod before it’s bean are extracted. The beans are then dried, have their shells removed and are crushed into a paste. This paste is then pressed at low temperatures to separate the oils (cacao butter) from the fibre which is finely milled and turned into velvety cacao powder.


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 powder has over 360% MORE antioxidants than regular cocoa !!



The Mexican Mayan kings drank up to 30 pure chocolate drinks a day to maintain their vigour and valued the bean so highly that it was used as money. Raw Cacao products are a source of beta-carotene, amino acids (protein), Omega-3 EFA’s, calcium, zinc, iron, copper, sulphur, potassium, and one of the best food sources of muscle relaxing, stress relieving magnesium – now you know why women crave chocolate every month!

The obroma cacao literally means “Food of the Gods”. Chocolate has 400 distinct flavour compounds – that’s 200% more than any other food !! The exotic flavoured ‘criollo’ variety represents only 1% of world production and is usually the highest priced in international commodity markets.



Cacao has other naturally occurring phytochemicals like theobromine (considered an aphrodisiac), phenylethylamine (PEA – released when we fall in love), and anandamide (the ‘bliss’ chemical).


Suggested Uses:
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.
