What is Raw Chocolate?
The common perception is that chocolate is a naughty luxury and apart from the feel good factor it
brings, it is not healthy for you. Well, it is if it is RAW and minimally processed using only high-quality basic ingredients.
The normal Cocoa you put is drinking chocolate is a processed version of Cacao (a fruit grown in Gahana, India, Madagascar, Venezuela, Cuba, Peru and Equador). Cacao is produced from the Cacao nibs harvested from the seeds of the fruit.
In its raw form Cacao contains:
Magnesium and other essential minerals including calcium, sulphur, zinc, iron, copper, potassium, and manganese.
- Polyphenols called flavonoids, with antioxidant properties.
- Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B9, E.
