Benefits	Fruity Cacao has all of the benefits of raw cacao, with the addition of the tangy flavor of cacao fruit. Cacao is a natural appetite suppressant and can help reduce food cravings and speed weight loss. Cacao beans are bursting with antioxidants, magnesium, and substances such as anandamide (the bliss chemical) and phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA is the pleasure chemical found in the brains of people in love; no wonder people are so attracted to chocolate! Cacao beans are also a natural source of trace minerals, such as manganese, zinc, chromium, and copper. Cacao beans contain theobromine, iron, and omega-6 fatty acids which play an important role in heart health and brain function. Theobromine can also help boost energy and mental alertness. Antioxidants, including polyphenols, catechins, and epicatechins, help to fight off free radicals, making cacao beans an energizing and nutrient dense superfood.
Recommended Usage	We recommend enjoying Fruity Cacao just as it is. Pop a couple beans in your mouth and savor the flavor of the fruit for a few moments. Then crunch into the beans, releasing the full spectrum of flavors and textures. This is the complete cacao experience! You can also try chopping up Fruity Cacao and sprinkling over your favorite raw dessert recipe for a crunchy, chocolaty twist.

These are very tasty as-is. But I bet they'd be great in an acai bowl too. (Posted on 5/6/13)

I have to say next these are probably the very best Cacao Beans that I and many of my friends and family enjoy. Super soft and the taste and texture is amazing. Love these with a little local raw honey of them! (Posted on 4/13/13)

When I blend equal portions of Fruity Cacao and hazel nuts I get a far superior product to the commercial product. Doesn't need additional sweetener as when made with the regular cacao beans. (Posted on 12/24/12)
