Made from the finest organic cacao beans, our cacao powder can be used in an endless number of recipes, from beverages to cakes and confections, this nutrient dense powder has more antioxidant flavonoids than any food tested so far; including blueberries, red wine, and black and green teas. In fact, it has up to four times the quantity of antioxidants found in green tea. Cacao powder is also a good source of dietary fiber, calcium, and iron.
FUN FACT! Cocoa trees need to be planted next to tall trees in order to protect them from direct sunlight. It takes 3 to 5 years before the cocoa tree bears fruit. EACH TREE produces around 1,000 beans a year, but that is only enough to make about two pounds of chocolate.
