Sunfood's Organic Cacao Powder leads the superfood industry in quality, flavor, eco-packaging, and antioxidant value.

Our Certified Organic Chocolate Powder is created from beautiful, clean, microbe-free 100% Arriba Nacional Fino de Aroma Pure Cacao Beans.
What is Raw Organic Cacao Powder (Chocolate Powder)?
All chocolate is made from Cacao Beans (also known as Cocoa Beans). Cacao is chocolate! All the antioxidant value, mineral benefits, neurotransmitter rejuvenating properties, and overall health-giving qualities of chocolate are found in raw Cacao Beans!
Made from delicious, raw Arriba Nacional Fino de Aroma Ecuadorian cacao beans, Sunfoods raw and organic cacao powder is prepared by cold-pressing cacao beans to yield a decadent, antioxidant-rich powder and to seperate the oil from the fiber. The remaining dry 'cake-like' material is then cold-ground, fine-milled and sifted so that only the finest, most bio-available raw Cacao particles filter through into the finished product. Prepared below 120F and tested for accuracy, this low temperature process keeps vitamins, minerals and antioxidants intact, allowing you to experience luxurious taste with maximum digestion and absorption of nutrients. Most other cocoa powders are exposed to temperatures as high as 300 degrees Fahrenheit! A high-accuracy thermometer monitors the process. Cacao powder can be included in smoothies, desserts and chocolate candies to give you all of the healthy benefits of this powerful superfood.
Our Chocolate Powder is processed in a state-of-the-art facility in Ecuador. We package this outstanding product in the highest quality-amber glass bottle available on the market in order to protect the cacao powder from light.

| Benefits | Raw Cacao (raw chocolate, raw cocoa) is one of nature's most fantastic superfoods due to its high mineral content and wealth of antioxidants. Since many of the special properties of cacao are destroyed or lost by cooking, refining, and processing, planet Earth's favorite food is still unknown to most of us. Now we get to reconnect with the power of real, raw chocolate! Raw Cacao offers fantastic hope for chocoholics everywhere. You can turn cravings for cooked, processed, chocolate into the super-nutrition of the highest order. Sunfood's Raw Cacao Powder is packed with antioxidants, including polyphenols, catechins and epicatechins that help to fight off free radicals, giving you a healthy, complete superfood known as the Food of the Gods. In addition, flavonols help the body produce Nitric Oxide, a compound essential for proper heart function. Clean and microbe-free, cacao nibs offer a powerful boost of phenylethylamine (PEA) and anandamide, which both enhance positive feelings. Raw cacao is also a natural source of trace minerals, such as manganese, zinc and copper, which help to maintain healthy blood while theobromine, iron, chromium, magnesium and omega-6 fatty acids play an important role in heart health, brain function, growth and development. Magnesium: Cacao appears to be the #1 source of magnesium of any food. Magnesium is one of the great alkaline minerals. It works to support the heart, boost our mental focus, and relieve constipation. Magnesium, along with other components of cacao, has been linked with a lessening of PMS symptoms. This is likely the primary reason women crave chocolate during their monthly cycle. Magnesium balances brain chemistry, builds strong bones, and has been tied to increased happiness and improved mood. Magnesium is the most deficient major mineral on the Standard American Diet (SAD); over 80% of Americans are chronically deficient in Magnesium! Raw cacao has enough magnesium to help reverse deficiencies of this mineral. Zinc: Many of the enzymes in the human body would not exist without the presence of zinc. This mineral is a vital component in over 200 enzymes throughout the body, and it is a cofactor of hundreds more. Raw Cacao contains zinc, which plays a critical role in the health of the immune system, liver, pancreas, and skin. Additionally, zinc is essential for sexual development, fertility, and cell growth. Manganese: This mineral plays a crucial role in the formation of bone, cartilage, and connective tissue. Manganese helps assist iron in the oxygenation of the blood and formation of hemoglobin, and helps to promote healthy joints.
