Description
All chocolate comes from cacao, or cocoa, as it is more commonly known. Cacao is the seed (nut) of a fruit of an Amazonian tree that was brought to Central America during or before the time of the Olmecs. Cacao Beans were so revered by the Mayans and Aztecs that they used them as money! When in its pure, raw form, cacao is one of nature’s most fantastic superfoods. The secrets to chocolate’s incredible health benefits are unlocked when it is eaten in its raw, unheated state.
The Sunfood Difference
Our raw, organic cacao products come from hand-selected 100% Arriba Nacional Fino de Aroma cacao beans from Ecuador. Most other cacao products are exposed to temperatures as high as 300 degrees Fahrenheit during processing. Our cacao processing temperatures are never allowed to exceed 120 degrees. A high-accuracy thermometer is used throughout processing to ensure this quality and standard. No chemicals or solvents, such as hexane, are used at any point of our processes.
