Raw cacao originates from the cocoa tree\u00a0(Theobroma cacao)<\/em>\u00a0bean.\u00a0Raw\u00a0cocoa is actually very different from the common cocoa powder what is powder chemically processed and roasted, which destroys a large amount of the antioxidants and nutrients.<\/strong> A recent study showed that between 60% and 90% of the original antioxidants in cacao are lost through the processing what was originally developed to reduce the bitterness, darken the colour, and create a softer flavor to the chocolate. Generally, raw cacao products what are made from fermented, dried, unroasted cacao beans are less processed and that\u2019s is why they are much healthier.<\/p>\n

Health benefits<\/h3>\n

Cacao is an excellent source of fiber because it comes from a seed. It also contains some protein. It\u2019s the highest plant-based source of iron. <\/strong>The iron in cacao is non-heme, so to get the maximum benefits you should eat it with vitamin C rich foods. Raw cacao is also one of the highest plant-based sources of important mineral – magnesium. The lack of it can cause diabetes and heart problems. Magnesium also helps to keep healthy blood pressure, strong bones, lower risk of cardiovascular disease and healthy nervous system activity.<\/strong> It\u2019s also a perfect source of calcium \u2013 it has more calcium than in cow\u2019s milk. Cacao is a great source of serotonin, tryptophan,\u00a0tyrosine\u00a0and\u00a0phenylethylamine. These chemicals are associated with happiness and stress and depression relief<\/strong>. It contains heaps of antioxidants as well.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Where to use<\/h3>\n

So as it came out from the article it\u2019s good choice to swap cocoa powder out for more healthy cacao. But where to use it?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Add few tablespoons to your baked goods (like brownies), smoothies and you will get intense chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Make coffee drinks or hot cacao. When it\u2019s summer weather is warm outside \u2013 make a cold version with ice.<\/p>\n

\u2022 You can do interesting healthy desserts like chocolate hummus, energy balls, ice-cream from frozen bananas, chia seed pudding, homemade chocolate or truffles.<\/p>\n
