Cacao

Cacao (ka-kow) vs Cocoa!

What’s the difference?  Cacao powder is only heated up to 40 degrees celsius maintaining its nutirients and antioxidants.  Cocoa powder is heated up to 150 degrees celsius often adding solvents to the mix.  If you want a little treat of chocolate go for the raw cacao chocolate providing you with an abundant amount of antioxidants, magnesium, iron, zinc, calcium, copper, protein, Omega 3’s and lots more!
