CEREMONIAL CACAO

This incredible superfood is the raw form of chocolate. It is the seed from the Theobroma Cacao Tree [native to Central and South America], which is fermented, sun dried and ground into a paste.

Cacao is nutrient dense. Containing ANTIOXIDANTS [flavanoids & polyphenols], TRYPTOPHAN [serotonin precursor & mood booster], MAGNESIUM [relaxation], IRON [oxygen transport] & FIBRE [gut supportive].

Raw cacao does not contain caffeine, it contains theobromine. Theobromine is the gentler cousin of caffeine. It gives mild stimulation without the intensity, jitteriness and crash of caffeine.
