100% organic, raw cacao beans of the Nacional and Criollo varieties from Ecuador. The beans are purchased directly from a cooperative in Ecuador.
They are packaged in a small, convenient box that's easy to slip into your pocket, purse or backpack (7x7x3.5 cm).
The cacao beans are only fermented and do not undergo roasting, cooking or alkalisation, which are typical processes in large-scale production. This method preserves all the aromatic power and nutritional benefits of the cacao.
Properties and benefits of organic raw cacao beans
Compared to their roasted counterparts, the composition of organic raw cacao beans includes higher levels of lipids, polyphenols, and methylxanthines. These compounds are known for their ability to help prevent cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
Stress relief: Consuming cacao beans supports cognitive function. Their molecules act on the central nervous system to help improve mood. Several studies have shown that consuming cacao beans increases blood flow and oxygenation to the brain.
