Description
Cacao is chocolate in its purest form, before the sugar, milk and processing. Because this powder is not alkalised (Dutch-processed), it keeps more of cacao’s natural flavanols, the plant antioxidants linked to healthy blood flow and heart health. Use it just like cocoa powder: in a warm drink before bed, in your morning smoothie or oats, or in baking.
Why people choose it
- Rich chocolate flavour with no added sugar
- Not alkalised, so more of the natural flavanols remain
- A source of fibre and iron
- Use 1:1 in place of cocoa powder
- Certified organic and plant-based
How to take it
Stir about 1 tablespoon (5g) into hot milk or water, a smoothie, oats or yoghurt, or use it in baking in place of cocoa powder. Sweeten to taste if needed.
Good to know
Cacao naturally contains a little caffeine (about 15mg per tablespoon) and theobromine, so go easy in the evening if you are sensitive to caffeine. Like all chocolate, cacao is toxic to dogs and cats, so keep it away from pets. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal after use.
