Cacao Powder
The health properties of cocoa have already been appreciated by the Mayans and Aztecs. The drink made of cacao powder was called by them the drink of the gods.
Health benefits: Organic Cacao Powder is a treasury of antioxidants that prevent many diseases, as well as substances that calm, improve mood and increase sexual desire. It is a source of antioxidant compounds (including flavanols and procyanidins), which have a beneficial effect on the proper functioning of the circulatory system. These compounds have a relaxant effect on blood vessels, facilitate blood flow, and neutralize the effects of so-called bad cholesterol and prevent the formation of vessel blocking clots. Studies show that a diet rich in plant products with a high content of natural antioxidants reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, ischemia of other organs, and hypertension. Organic Cacao Powder, despite the content of stimulants such as caffeine and theobromine, relieves stress. The relaxing effect is attributed to the presence of valeric acid, which has a calming effect.
Suggested use: Suitable for sprinkling into food dry or to have rehydrated. Perfect for baking, ice cream, cereals, porridge, smoothies, shakes or anything else that would require a great fruit flavor and aroma or just some natural sweetness. Often used in place of sugar where the sweet taste is replaced with natural fruit flavor. A favorite for blending with protein powders to create all-natural fruit-flavored protein shakes. Alternatively, blend with coconut milk powder for a fruit-flavored shake.
