Cacao: The Bean Behind Chocolate

  • Origin: Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is the seed of a tropical fruit pod native to Central and South America. The beans are fermented and dried, then ground into cacao powder.
  • Traditional use: The ancient Maya and Aztecs prized cacao as a ceremonial drink and even used the beans as currency. The Maya called it kakawa, and the tree's Latin name means "food of the gods."
  • How it's used today: Cacao powder is a pantry multitasker: an unsweetened, minimally processed alternative to cocoa for smoothies, baking, energy bites and warm cacao lattes.
  • What the research says: Cacao flavanols are some of the most studied plant compounds in nutrition research, especially for their role in healthy blood flow. Cacao also naturally contains magnesium, iron and theobromine.
  • How to use it: Replace cocoa powder 1:1 in any recipe, add 1 tablespoon to a smoothie, or whisk Cacao SuperLatte into hot water for a coffee-free chocolate latte.
