Organic Ceremonial Grade Cacao – 100% chocolate, unsweetened (2.2 lb / 35 Servings)

Our 100% Arriba Nacional ceremonial-grade cacao is one of nature’s most perfect superfoods! This cacao starts life as the craft of family farmers, who cultivate their crop of heirloom cacao beans with the highest care and intention. Traditional fermentation and low-temperature roasting complete the process to deliver you some of the most deliciously complex, nutritious, and healing cacao available. Unlike processed cacao powders, this ceremonial-grade cacao maintains all the healthy fats and nutrients of pure cacao beans. Taste and feel the difference as you craft deliciously rich drinks, add a healthy boost to smoothies or bowls, or add to baked goods for a boost of deep flavor. Every serving is loaded with health and spirit-maximizing molecules: polyphenols to reduce inflammation and lower blood pressure; theobromine to help open the heart and improve circulation, providing sustainable energy; magnesium to support bodily calm and muscle relaxation; L-tryptophan to support serotonin production, promoting mood stability and wellbeing. Ceremonial-grade cacao is also one of nature’s most potent vegan sources of iron. Perfect for your daily rituals or as a coffee alternative: the high theobromine content found in ceremonial-grade cacao provides all-day energy without the coffee crash.
