The seed of a fruit of an Amazonian tree, cacao is the highest
antioxidant food on the

theobromine (cardiovascular support), and anandamide ("bliss
chemical").!Raw
Chocolate balances brain chemistry, builds strong bones, is a
natural aphrodisiac,
elevates your mood and energy, and may cause you to have The Best
Day Ever!
The truth about the health-benefits of chocolate is finally reaching
our ears. However,
the whole truth should be told. Chocolate is healthy if it is dark
with no added dairy
products/milk or refined sugar. Even better are raw cacao beans, the
"food of the gods"
which possess all the magical properties of chocolate without any
adulteration or
processing!
All chocolate comes from cacao beans - the seeds of the cacao fruit
- which grows on a
jungle tree. Botanically, cacao is truly a nut. They may be referred
to as cacao beans,
cacao seeds, cacao nuts, chocolate seeds, chocolate beans, or cacao
nibs - all
essentially mean the same thing. For simplicity, we usually use the
term "cacao beans."
Cacao beans taste like dark chocolate, because they are dark
chocolate!
FACT...
Cacao Beans contain over 300 chemically identifiable compounds
making it one
of the most complex food substances on Earth!
