The Golden Bean Chocolate Bar is the creation of world-famous raw food chef Matt Samuelson and his team at High Integrity Foods. The Golden Bean has an extraordinary consistency, taste, as well as a clean smooth texture. This bar is clearly one of the leading raw chocolates on the market today. Take one bite of the Golden Bean and have The Best Day Ever!

The Golden Bean consists of the following raw, certified organic ingredients:

Raw Cacao
Raw Cacao is a true super food, high in protein, beneficial oils, vitamins, and minerals. Raw Cacao is reported to be the richest natural source for magnesium, an important mineral highly deficient in modern diets. Raw Cacao is surprisingly high in Vitamin C, and is also an excellent source of natural iron, a mineral associated with healthy blood, as well as proper liver function. Raw Cacao is the most medicinal of all chocolate products, containing the highest levels of immune-enhancing antioxidant polyphenols, procyanidins and other flavonoids known to protect against a wide array of ailments, especially heart disease. Containing 62% whole raw cacao bean, each Golden Bean Chocolate Bar is a potent source of this raw superfood.

Raw Agave
Embarking on a new tradition of cacao artistry, Golden Bean Chocolate Bars are sweetened with Raw Agave, a low-glycemic sweetener with none of the health risks associated with consumption of refined sugars. Raw Agave has a relatively low glycemic index due to its higher proportion of fructose and lower levels of glucose. Traditional methods are used to extract the rich nectar from the Agave. This nectar imparts an element of sweetness and integrity to each Golden Bean Chocolate Bar, elevating the rich flavor of Raw Cacao.

Raw Vanilla
Vanilla and Cacao were made for each other. The vanilla bean is believed to have strong aphrodisiac and immune-enhancing properties, the latter due to its polysaccharide content. For the Golden Bean Chocolate Bar, vanilla beans are split open one by one and the seeds within are hand-scraped to concentrate their exotic taste, perfectly complementing raw cacao.

Himalayan Salt
Just a touch of Himalayan Crystal Salt added to each Golden Bean Chocolate Bar adds a drop of longevity from this ancient salt bed — energizing the other raw ingredients to their highest potential. This salt contains all of the 84 elements found in the body, Himalayan Crystal Salt provides the base for the smooth, luscious texture and rich taste of each Golden Bean Chocolate Bar.

Organic Soy Lecithin
The soy lecithin used in Golden Bean Chocolate Bars is made from organic soybeans, certified non-GMO, and has been extracted without solvents. A minute amount of organic soy lecithin (less than 1%) contributes to this bar’s smooth texture, and helps to blend the flavors of each raw ingredient. In addition, the combination of organic soy lecithin with raw cacao may hold additional benefits for cognitive function (brain health) and cardiovascular health. When combined with ingredients of the highest caliber, organic soy lecithin helps us enjoy raw cacao while reaping even more of its benefits.
