Raw Cacao Powder 500g (organic sourced)

The Ancient Mayan belief is that Cacao is Food for the Gods, sent to us from Paradise

The original Mayans and Aztecs used to make chocolate into a drink.  Archaeologists have excavated old Mayan drinking vessels in Northern Belize, with the dried remains of a cocoa based mixture, believed to have been called chocolate, around 2,600 years old. 

Our cacao sources are all organic.
 

Price: £14.99  / 500g bag

Further Info
More recently, modern chocolate makers could not find a way of making the chocolate into a solid block.  Eventually, around 1828, a Dutchman called Coenraad Johannes Van Houten found a way of processing chocolate so that it became hardened and could be sold as a solid bar.  The dutching process, as it became known, uses an alkalising agent which modifies the colour and gives the chocolate a milder flavour.   The major health benefits of chocolate are vastly reduced by this process.

The benefits of raw organic cacao far outweigh the commercially available chocolate brands that have had all the goodness processed out of them.

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors present in cacao help neurotransmitters such as seratonin, anandamide snd dopamine, to function properly in the blood.  A side effect of this is that our digestion works better and we stop feeling hungry.
