Cacao - guilt-free chocolate
Sworn off chocolate? No need. Welcome to the world of guilt-free chocolate – cacao.
Pronounced ‘ca-kow’, and available as powder, nibs or butter, it is one of the most nutritionally complex foods on the planet and contains a whopping 621 antioxidants compared to blueberries, which have 32.
Raw cacao chocolate contains agave or coconut palm sugar for sweetener, perhaps some coconut oil and a flavour such as goji berries, orange, mint or coconut. That’s it. No added preservatives or other nasties.
Raw-cacao chocolate has a flavour so intense that it’s hard to eat more than a piece or two.
