Cacao

All natural cacao

Cacao is made by pressing the fat out of ground cacao beans from the Theobroma Cao tree. This powder can often be heavily processed into drinking chocolates and coco powders but it can also be left raw and unprocessed as cacao/cocoa powder. This cacao powder contains lots of micronutrients and antioxidants that not only protect your health but can boost your mood. If you prefer, you can opt for an organic cacao powder which means the cocoa beans were grown according to organic practices without any fertilisers or pesticides. We love to use cacao hot chocolate when making a nice hot winter’s drink.

Choose your cacao

There are many ways to use cacao. You can make healthy rum balls with cacoa or a healthy hot cacao drink or cacao hot chocolate. Some of our favourites for making a healthy cacao hot chocolate can be found in the Organic Merchant Cacao Collection box which makes for a great gift. We also love a vegan hot chocolate with cacao powder that has healing benefits like the one from Teelixir with Organic mushroom.
