Cacao, an ancient South American superfood, is chocolate in its raw form. Cacao beans are collected from the fruit of jungle trees, made into powder and used as the basis for chocolate. Raw unheated cacao means the beans retain all their nutritional goodness. Organic Raw Cacao Powder is made from organically certified cacao beans and is free from harmful chemicals. Nutritional Value and Reputed Benefits of Raw Chocolate in Raw Culture The much touted nutritional benefits or raw cacao range from reducing cataracts to improving heart function to alleviating stress. The theobromine naturally found in raw cacao is a mild, non-addictive stimulant that some believe can treat depression. It may cause the brain to produce more of a neurotransmitter called anandamide which would account for the euphoric sensation some feel when indulging in chocolate. Not much is known about how the ancient civilizations of the Americas used chocolate, but it was certainly treasured by them for medicinal purposes. Nowadays we know that raw cacao is certainly very high in antioxidant flavanoids, sulfur and magnesium. The essential fatty acids found in chocolate may help the body to raise good cholesterol and lower bad cholesterol. Amongst the loftiest claims in raw food culture is that raw cacao (without added sugar or dairy products) will reduce your risk of cancer as the high levels of antioxidants reduce the amount of free radicals in the body. |
