What is so special about Forest Super Foods' Ceremonial Cacao?
Highest Quality Cacao Beans
Our Ceremonial Cacao is the highest grade in Australia, grown from the precious Criollo Cacao beans in Brazil. This species of Cacao is known as ‘The King of Cacao’ due to low fermentation.
It comes to you Australian Certified Organic so you know it is free of pesticides, herbicides and radiation.
The result is a rich, delicious and nutrient-dense raw cacao powder, with no fillers or additives of any kind.
What nutrients are in Cacao?
Raw ceremonial cacao is an amazing source of vitamins A, C, D, and B-Complex vitamins.
It is also high in iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, zinc and a fair amount of selenium.
High in antioxidants
Cacao is the richest source of theobromine, and one of the richest sources of antioxidants, which helps protect the body from free radicals.
Free radicals are unstable chemicals that damage cell membranes and attack healthy cells which can lead to disease and damage of the body.
Raw cacao has an impressive ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value of over 55,000, which is 4 times that of goji berries.
Along with its high antioxidant content, cacao powder contains a massive 10% total flavonoid content.
What is the history of Ceremonial Cacao?
Ceremonial cacao has a long and rich history, dating back to over 4,000 years ago. Various tribal cultures, including the ancient Aztecs, are known to have used this raw cacao as a stimulant, mood-lifter and general source of nutrition. Cacao beans were even used as currency in Central America many centuries ago.
These days, ceremonial cacao is enjoyed for its delicious taste and abundance of health benefits. You may also have heard of ‘cacao ceremonies’ where people come together to connect over a cup of cacao and engage in meditation, breathwork and conversation.
What is the difference between cacao and cocoa?
People often confuse cacao with cocoa as they both come from the Coco Bean. The difference is that cocoa is usually highly processed and heated to the point where it loses a lot of its health benefits.
Cacao is fermented and raw. Ceremonial cacao is cacao in it purest form, with minimal processing in order to preserve its incredible benefits.
How do I consume Cacao?
Add 1 tablespoon of our Ceremonial Cacao to your favourite smoothies or milkshake, stir into snacks, bake into breads, use to create sauces, cakes, raw chocolate or chocolate mousse.
Raw cacao powder can be used 1:1 as a substitute for any recipe calling for cocoa powder – although it does have a slightly less sweet taste.

Q & A
Why is your ceremonial grade cacao in powder form and not paste like other varieties and does that mean its been processed at high heat?
Hi Cathy, its in powder form because its been dried and ground. No processing at high heat :). Its a raw ceremonial cacao, meaning no heat over 38 degrees is applied :)

You say to consume 1 tablespoon (2g) of Cacao to milk in one section and then it says recommended serving size is 1 teaspoon (2g). Which one is it?
Hi Deb, our suggested serving is 1 tablespoon in a smoothie or adding to your baked goods etc, but in terms of minimum serving per day we recommend 1 teaspoon. Hope this helps :)

Excellent quality, smooth taste, blends well into hot and cold drinks. Doesn’t need much if any sweetener (my preference). This is the 3rd product I’ve bought from Forest Super Foods and I have not been disappointed with any of them. Crazy fast delivery
I’ve been using this product for a couple of weeks now in a smoothie for breakfast. Great taste. I can feel it doing me good!
The Best….My cacao balls have gone to the next level…So rich and chocolatey…yum! …So good!
Delicious!
Exactly what I was looking for / I like this product. Good quality, texture, works well.
I have this at night with a tiny pinch of coconut sugar. It tastes great and is a lovely before bed drink.
Can recommend this product. Tastes great.
