Here are the key benefits of each of our cacao based superfoods:
Cacao Powder Benefits
Cacao powder is made in a similar process to cocoa powder, except it has the fat – also called the cacao butter – removed. Where it differs from baker's cocoa is in the way that it is processed. Unlike baker's cocoa, our organic cacao powder isn't extracted under high heat and therefore maintains its nutritional integrity. Use our organic cacao powder to add a delicious chocolate flavour and a host of micronutrients to your smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods and more!
Cacao Beans Benefits
Cacao beans are the base ingredient for any cacao superfood. By buying the cacao beans whole, you can roast and prepare them according to your preferences. You can even try your hand at making your own homemade chocolate!
Cacao Nibs Benefits
Cacao nibs are a crushed-up version of cacao beans, forming the perfect add-in to your favourite baking recipes, granola, smoothies, and more. Unlike cacao powder, cacao nibs still contain the cacao butter that gives them a richer flavour while also offering a boost of extra nutrients that help with body and brain function.
Cacao Butter Benefits
Cacao butter is a plant-based fat that can be extracted during the powder pressing process. Along with its uses in cooking, there are other benefits of cacao butter, it can also be used as a base for beauty products including lip balms, lotions, and salves.
Cacao Paste Benefits
Cacao paste is made by crushing beans until they become liquified, then allowing this liquid to solidify into the form of a paste. As a result of this production process, cacao paste is a highly concentrated version of the superfood, ideal for use in drinks and homemade dark chocolate.
