Raw Chocolate The New Red Wine Cacao beans (Theobroma Cacao/Raw Chocolate) are the source for all Chocolate and Cocoa products. Our CERTIFIED ORGANIC, RAW Cacao is of the premium Criollo variety. Theobroma literally means Foods of the Gods so called by the goodness of the seeds. Mexicans named the pounded seeds Chocolate. Cacao is increasingly being consumed for its nutritive and health-enhancing properties, as it has been in many cultures for thousands of years. Cacao contains many chemicals that enhance physical and mental well-being, including an incredibly rich supply of magnesium. The Cacao bean also contains more ANTIOXIDANT flavonoids than Red Wine, Green Tea and Blueberries. Our antioxidant-rich, organic, raw Cacao (Cocoa) powder is processed at low temperatures. The sophisticated process protects the nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Navitas Naturals VEGAN Cacao powder is CERTIFIED ORGANIC and RAW. Our premium Cacao comes directly from the farmers who cultivate them using sustainable methods that have been used for generations.
