Raw Chocolate
|
Only the very finest ORGANIC ingredients are used in our chocolate.
NO sugar, NO dairy, NO preservatives! And it is RAW! NO heating or processing
THE RIGHT KIND OF CHOCOLATE
While you may have believed that cocoa and chocolate were "bad for you", the truth is that THE RIGHT KIND OF CHOCOLATE provides many health benefits that make it not only "good for you", but better for your body than most of the fruits and vegetables your mother made you eat when you were a child !
However, the term "healthy chocolate" does NOT apply to chocolate candies made from cocoa beans which have been subjected to high heat by roasting, treated with alkalis or other chemicals, and adulterated with various additives like hydrogenated oils, animal fats like lard, corn syrup, refined sugar, dairy products, and chemical preservatives.
Raw chocolate with NO refined sugar, dairy or preservatives is very beneficial to your health and well being.
Raw cocoa has the highest antioxidant value of all the natural foods in the world!
Cocoa also appears to have anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties.
Fresh cocoa beans are super-rich in the type of bioflavonoids called flavanols which are strong antioxidants that help maintain healthy blood flow and blood pressure. The heart-healthy flavanols in cocoa, especially the epicatechins, prevent fatty substances in the bloodstream from oxidizing and then clogging the arteries.
Studies have indicated that consuming dark chocolate produced an increased sensitivity to insulin (which indicates a protective effect against diabetes).
Cocoa is a potent source of serotonin, dopamine, and phenylethylamine. These are three well-studied neurotransmitters which help alleviate depression and are associated with feelings of well-being.
RAW Chocolate ~ A True Superfood
Traditional chocolate found in stores is loaded with sugar, and contains things like milk, lactose, artificial flavorings. Our chocolate products contain none of these.
Store bought chocolate is cooked, which greatly reduces the nutrients. Our chocolate has not gone through any sort of heating or processing, so all of the nutrients are still intact.
We use only raw organic cacao powder which has not been heated or processed. It is said to be significantly richer in antioxidant flavanols than green tea, red wine or acai.
Chocolate contains protein, fats, calcium, iron, carotene, thiamine and riboflavin.
Chocolate has more magnesium than any other food. Magnesium is the number one mineral deficiency in the West. It is the most powerful stress relieving mineral. It also relaxes the muscles and builds strong bones and teeth.
Chocolate is rich in sulphur, which is the beauty mineral. Sulphur is essential for gorgeous skin, lustrous hair and strong nails.
Chocolate is one of the only sources of PEA, which is a compound that increases the serotonin levels in the brain, which enhances joy.
Our raw chocolate is one of the healthiest foods you can eat!
In fact, for thousands of years, ancient Mayans, ancient Aztecs and Incans have known about the amazing healing properties of chocolate and they have used it in their daily healing rituals.
Chocolate has an amazing amount of wonderful health and healing benefits, but many of its unique and special properties are destroyed by cooking. Raw chocolate is delicious and should be consumed as a medicinal food due to its great health benefits. It has powerful mood enhancing properties which work to alleviate feelings of depression.
* Raw Cacao has high Levels of Magnesium
Raw Cacao contains therapeutic levels of Magnesium, one of the great alkaline minerals. It is estimated that 80% of North Americans are lacking in this vital nutrient. Magnesium increases brain power, helps to energize/relax muscles, builds strong bones and increases alkalinity of the body.
* Cacao contains high levels of Iron
Iron is a critical mineral in nutrition as it helps oxygenate the blood. Research has shown that raw cacao contains 157% of the recommended daily intake of iron per ½ ounce serving of one cup.
* Cacao contains high levels of Chromium and Zinc
Chromium is a trace mineral which plays an important role in balancing blood sugar.
* Raw Chocolate Enhances Mood and Concentration
Phenylethylamines (PEA) a major chemical group naturally produced by our bodies when we fall in love. They also play a role in increasing focus and alertness. PEA's are heat sensitive and so not found in commercially bought cooked chocolate.
* Anandamide - the bliss chemical
Anandamide is an endorphin naturally produced by humans after exercise. In the plant world it has only been found in cacao.
* Tryptophan - an essential amino acid found in cacao
The presence of this amino acid is essential for the production of serotonin. Serotonin is a primary neurotransmitter that plays a powerful role in regulating our mood. Cooking food destroys tryptophan, which is why so many people are deficient. The increasing rates of depression can be explained by low levels of tryptophan.
* Cacao contains more antioxidants than ANY other food on the planet
Raw chocolate provides over 700% more antioxidants than commercial chocolate that has been cooked.
Isn't it great to finally be able to indulge in delectable chocolate without guilt!
Instead of the harm of chemically-treated chocolate with sugar in it, our raw chocolate will help increase your energy and fortify your body with good nutrition.
And since chocolate is a natural appetite suppressant, it can keep your hunger satisfied without gaining weight.

Cocoa - The Super Healthy Fruit |
| You may be surprised to learn that "cocoa" is actually a FRUIT - and even more surprised to learn that it is actually one of the most healthy fruits commonly eaten by man! |
|
Chocolate really does grow on trees! |
| Cocoa beans come from the fruit of the cacao tree which grows in tropical rainforests in South America, Africa, and Malaysia. The official scientific name of the cocoa tree is Theobroma Cacao. "Theobroma" is Latin for "food of the gods". Cacao is pronounced "kay-COW". |
|
Mood Enhancement |
|
Eating chocolate increases the levels of
endorphins released into the brain, giving credence to the claim
that chocolate is a comfort food. The endorphins work to lessen
pain and decrease stress.
Another common neurotransmitter affected by chocolate is serotonin. Serotonin is known as an anti-depressant. One of the chemicals which causes the release of serotonin is tryptophan found in, among other things, chocolate. |
Mental and Emotional Benefits of Chocolate
RELAXED ALERTNESS
One of the more unique neurotransmitters released by chocolate is phenylethylamine. This so called "chocolate amphetamine" causes changes in blood pressure and blood-sugar levels leading to feelings of excitement and alertness. It works like amphetamines to increase mood and decrease depression, but it does not result in the same tolerance or addiction.
Theobromine is another chemical found in chocolate that can affect the nervous system. Besides having properties that can lead to mental and physical relaxation, it also acts as a stimulant similar to caffeine. It can increase alertness. There is much debate as to whether or not caffeine even exists in chocolate. Some scientists believe that it is the less potent theobromine which is solely responsible for the caffeine-like effects.
LOVE DRUG
Phenylethylamine is also called the "love drug" because it causes your pulse rate to quicken, resulting in a similar feeling to when someone is in love.
BLISS
Another interesting compound found in chocolate is the lipid anandamide. It activates the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter which leads to feelings of well being. Anandamide, found naturally in the brain, breaks down very rapidly. Besides adding to the levels of anandamide, chocolate also contains two other chemicals which work to slow the breakdown of the anandamide, thus extending the feelings of well-being.
WEIGHT LOSS
You may be surprised to learn that dark chocolate can help you lose weight! Because it creates a feeling of satiety or satisfaction, cocoa is often added to weight loss products to help control hunger.
It has been said that chocolate is "fattening", but the truth is that the fats found in cocoa butter are actually healthy fats! Cacao contains a heart-healthy fat which is also found in olive oil.
And since it's RAW,
our chocolate has nothing unhealthy or fattening added.Chocolate can greatly assist you in losing weight. Restrictive diets just don't work because you can only feel deprived for so long. But when you feel satisfied with the food you eat, then you can stick with an eating plan. And being able to indulge in chocolate makes it very easy.
RAW chocolate can be a natural appetite suppressant, eating just a little, satisfies you well.
