Cacao or Cocoa (Theobroma Cacao):
A small evergreen tree native to the deep tropical region of the Americas. The scientific name Theobroma means “food of the gods”. In its raw state, it contains a wide array of unique properties, antioxidants and minerals that enhance both physical and mental well-being. It has an incredibly rich supply of magnesium, along with other essential minerals: calcium, zinc, iron, copper and potassium. The majority of antioxidants are water-soluble and when the fat is removed from the cacao bean the ORAC scores almost double. The lure of chocolate can be overwhelming for some people. Cocoa contains theobromine (a chemical related to caffeine). The sugar in chocolate releases serotonin (a brain chemical related to a positive sense of well-being). Despite its physical properties chocolate is not a physically addictive food, however, some people may find themselves psychologically addicted to chocolate. This may or may not be true for raw cacao. If you want to read more about cacao and its ingredients, values and scientific research, please visit our BLOG.
