  • Dive into the heart of the cacao bean with Sunfood’s Organic Cacao Powder. Unlike conventional cocoa powders, this version is never roasted or dutch-processed, preserving the natural flavanols and antioxidants that give cacao its superfood status. 

    Because it retains more of its native compounds, raw cacao is celebrated not only as a flavor enhancer but also for its potential to support mood, energy, and overall well-being. The rich profile of minerals like magnesium, iron, and potassium, along with natural fiber, helps make it an outstanding addition to both sweet and savory recipes.

    Whether you’re making a smoothie, a decadent dessert, or simply making a healthy shift in your hot-chocolate recipe, this cacao powder brings both flavor and function.

  • Certified organic cacao powder

    May contain a desiccant pack. Do not eat.

    *Caffeine Content in Cacao

    Unlike coffee, the caffeine content in chocolate is extremely low and usually insignificant. The primary compound responsible for Cacao’s energizing properties is Theobromine, a cardiovascular stimulant that has less impact on the central nervous system than caffeine. It is also a vasodilator and diuretic, and relaxes the smooth muscles including those in the respiratory system. These properties have been shown in scientific studies to promote healthy blood pressure and relaxation. However, in larger amounts, theobromine may produce some uncomfortable effects the way caffeine can. Contrary to caffeine, which usually causes insomnia and anxiety, theobromine has been shown in studies to be beneficial to sleep. The theobromine and minimal caffeine content of cacao is not linked to sleep disturbances or anxiety.
