Excellent taste with loads of health benefits.
It is high in antioxidants, which can prevent cancer and other diseases.
Raw cacao also reduces stress levels by reducing the stress hormone, cortisol.
It aids the nervous system, reducing chronic pain.
This type in particular is good to reduce inflammation. A variety I used to use was less helpful with this problem.
Raw cacao aids both restful sleep and daytime energy.
Raw cacao contains many necessary enzymes, which aid digestion and other healthy reactions within your body.
You can use this product in cooking, but many of its benefits will be lost or reduced. Enzymes die at relatively low temperatures. Antioxidants are easily depleted by heat, exposure to electromagnetic frequencies, age, and oxygen. It is their reactiveness that stops free radicals from damaging your body, but if it reacts before you ingest it, it will not stop free radicals in your body. The foil bag it comes in protects the product from damage by electromagnetic fields. You should keep it in its package or transfer it to a stainless steel container with a stainless steel lid.
If you need to sweeten your cacao, I recommend honey or brown rice syrup. For my taste, a little cinnamon sweetens it just enough when added to a glass of raw cow or goat milk. Cinnamon is even higher in antioxidants than cacao. It contains mucous, which is healthy for the digestive system and can help kill parasites without damaging your health giving probiotics. Try mixing cacao with a little honey to make a thick paste. Cinnamon or peppermint essential oil can enhance the flavor. It seems like there's not enough liquid when you start mixing, but with stirring effort, you need very little honey, and the flavor comes through better with less. Mixing cacao with milk requires a short stint in a blender on low speed. It will not truly dissolve, so you will need to stir it frequently as you drink it. I also make a very tasty and healthy ice cream, which my grandkids expect whenever they come over. I have a two quart blender, so I can put in 3 1/2 cups of raw milk and turn it to very low speed while I add 21 oz. (one jar) brown rice syrup, 1 cup cacao, and either 9 drops peppermint essential oil or 1/4 cup cinnamon. The brown rice syrup makes it come out scoop-able, so you don't need to cook it. You do need an ice cream maker. The recipe makes about three quarts. Like my cacao, I store my ice cream in stainless steel to protect it from the electromagnetic fields put off by the freezer.
Many health food recipes suggest no calorie or low calorie sweeteners. There are non chemical varieties, but sweet things that don't provide calories confuse the body and cause you to be more hungry. In general, the less processed and more natural your food choices are, the healthier you will be.
