Product Description

Cacao Butter – A Delicious Source of Heart-Healthy Fat The cacao bean is a nutritional powerhouse, supplying our bodies with an army of antioxidants that help to fight disease, promote a “feel good” sensation, and deliver essential minerals that help us to radiate. One of the critical parts of the cacao bean’s success as a superfood is the presence of cacao “butter,” an essential fat that is a source of beneficial high oleic acid. This monounsaturated fat is like the fat found in olive oil, a healthy fat that raises good cholesterol and reduces appetite. Our Organic Cacao Butter makes a great source of heart-healthy fat for decadent whipped desserts, raw chocolates, and creamy beverages. Try it on your skin as a moisturizer for natural protection from environmental toxins and the elements.

Powder, Paste, Butter, Nibs, Beans - What's the Difference? Cacao beans are the actual beans, extracted from the pod. They are in their whole, original, unprocessed form. Cacao nibs are cacao beans that have been broken into smaller pieces, making them easier to chew and enjoy. Cacao paste is made by taking the cacao beans, in their whole form, and grinding them into a liquid, commonly called cacao liquor. This liquid is then dried, resulting in cacao paste. Cacao butter is the fat, extracted from cacao bean. Finally, cacao powder is what remains of the cacao liquor after extracting the fat.
