Raw Chocolate!  Yum!

Raw Cacao is the latest Raw Super Food available on the market today--the response is truly amazing! One of the reasons is that Raw Cacao is RAW CHOCOLATE! You might be hearing more and more in the media these days about the health and healing benefits of chocolate, such things as chocolate is good for the heart and is high in magnesium, a mineral that the US population if chronically deficient in.

Well, the real truth is about to come out about RAW ORGANIC UNPROCESSED PURE CHOCOLATE (THEOBROMA CACAO--FOOD OF THE GODS)! It is a true super food unlike anything that has come before!  The ancient Aztec Indians were really on to something here!

Here are some startling facts:

Raw Cacao is the highest known source of anti-oxidants by a factor of almost 5! It has nearly 20 times the antioxidant levels of red wine and up to 30 times what is found in green tea!* A new laboratory test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) was developed by USDA researchers at Tufts University to rate the antioxidant levels of fruits and vegetables.

Here are the results of Raw Organic Cacao:

Over 80% of the US population is deficient in Magnesium. In nature, the primary source of Magnesium is cacao (raw chocolate beans)! The ancient Indians of Central America valued cacao so much that they used it as money! Montezuma, the famous Aztec emperor, had his vaults filled not with gold but with about 960,000,000 raw cacao beans!

Raw chocolate is known to have the following properties:

• Diminishes appetite and aids in weight loss
• Increases sensuality and beauty
• Helps to heal and open the heart
• Nourishes the intellect and attracts prosperity

The flavor of Raw Cacao is similar to dark, bitter chocolate one would normally buy at a store. It is great just eaten plain, with honey, or in your favorite smoothie! For a listing of the most
spectacular raw cacao recipes, we recommend purchasing the new book by David Wolfe and Shazzie called Naked Chocolate.

One of the main differences between raw cacao and the chocolate typically available on the open market (cocoa--a processed substance) is that raw cacao has all the original healthy cacao butter containing all the original essential fatty acids and amazing taste originally found in the bean. Raw cacao or chocolate should not be confused with other substances such as coco (coconut), kola (a nut whose flavor is used in soft drinks), or coca (the leaf of the plant from which cocaine is derived). Cocoa and cocoa butter are cooked, processed substances derived from raw cacao nibs (or beans/nuts).

All chocolate starts out as raw cacao beans (or nuts--they are actually the seed of the cacao fruit which grows on a tropical tree).  Processing, cooking and roasting corrupts the delicate, complex flavor of the cacao nib (bean without the skin).

Raw cacao is the #1 most nutrient rich and complex foods known to man.
