A NATURAL AND HAPPY HIGH

Raw cacao powder can help to encourage positive, happy feelings due to it containing pleasure-boosting chemicals.

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 to the point where it loses a lot of its health benefits.

    Use of RawCacao powder

    It was found to be an excellent product in every way. Especially for us as we adore choc style rum truffles. The recipe we used with the Cacao powder was so easy to make but sadly so quick to disappear. Thoroughly recommended.
