Cacao Beans :: Raw Organic

Product Description

Cacao Beans :: Raw Organic

Cacao beans are the seeds of an Amazonian fruiting tree (theobroma cacao – meaning "The Food of the Gods") and source of all chocolate and cocoa products.

The Mexican Mayan kings drank up to 30 pure chocolate drinks a day to maintain their vigour and valued the bean so highly that it was used as money. Our raw Beans are from the best tasting premium criollo variety.

Nutritional Benefits
Raw Cacao products are a source of beta-carotene, amino acids (protein), Omega-3 EFA's, calcium, zinc, iron, copper, sulphur, potassium, and one of the best food sources of muscle relaxing, stress relieving magnesium – now you know why women crave chocolate every month!

Suggested Uses
Peel (optional) then eat as is, lightly roast (optional) and grind with coffee, or crush and add to smoothies, icecream, muesli, cookie batter or trail mix, or substitute in dessert recipes for chocolate chips.

Recipes

Double Decadent Chocky
Gently melt any good organic white chocolate then dip Cacao Beans in (nicer if you shell them first) – lay on greaseproof paper on baking sheet and refrigerate 20 mins.  Serve with fresh strawberry garnish – it’s a beautiful thing.
