Nutrition Information:

Raw cacao (not processed chocolate like your usual dark chocolate bar) is reported to be one of the top antioxidant superfoods in the world. It has even more antioxidants (by a few times) than popular foods commonly touted as being antioxidant-rich such as red wine, green tea or blueberries. The phytonutrients that give raw cacoa powder its high antioxidant value are a group of compounds called polyphenols or more specifically flavonoids. Raw Cacao has more flavonoids than any known food. Two flavonoids in particular, catechin and epicatchin, are found in very high amounts in raw cacao powder.

Raw Cacao is also a good source of copper which is important in the oxygenation of red blood cells and aids in cellular energy production.

Cacao also contains high levels of chromium, manganese and zinc. Chromium is a trace mineral which plays an important role in balancing blood sugar. Manganese assists iron to form hemoglobin and oxygenate the blood. Zinc is an essential trace mineral which supports a good immune system, accelerates renewal of skin cells and promotes healthy hair, nails and vision.

Raw cacao is also a feel-good superfood with its bliss nutrients like anandamide, PEA, tryptophan, dopamine, serotonin:-

High PEA levels have been found in people who are in love, and in those who are generally happy.

Anandamide improves mood, memory and cognition.

Tryptophan works with vitamins B6 and B3 along with magnesium to produce serotonin, the most well-known "feel-good” chemical. Tryptophan also helps produce melatonin and dimethyltryptamine, both associated with better sleep and relaxation.

Dopamine plays a role in the brain for feelings of motivation, desire and pleasure.

Serotonin eases feelings of anger and aggression, boosts mood and enhances sexuality. It also regulates body temperature, appetite and metabolism.
