Cacao Beans: Nature’s Perfect Superfood

A few years ago, when David Wolfe discovered raw cacao beans (sometimes called “cocoa beans”), the world changed.

Up until that time, the raw chocolate nut from which all chocolate is made (raw cacao IS raw chocolate) was almost totally unknown to North America. You couldn’t buy this food anywhere–internet included–so rare it was.

Chocolate: Highly Nutritious, or Highly Processed?

Keep in mind, however, that chocolate is one of the 15 most eaten foods in the entire world. Most people though are not eating the real raw chocolate. They are eating a by-product of a mega-industry that highly processed this original cacao bean into the cooked processed bar form most of us know.

However, David Wolfe discovered that there are many many benefits to eating the original cacao bean in its original form:

• All of the highly-medicinal oils are retained in their original forms.
• Raw Chocolate nuts are some of the highest vitamin C containing foods in the world. All vitamin C is lost when the chocolate is cooked and processed into bars.
• When the whole cacao bean is eaten with the skin still on, the raw chocolate is one of the highest iron containing foods in the world as well.
• Raw Chocolate is one of nature’s premier “feel good” foods, helping to improve the chemistry of your brain.

Raw Cacao: Quality is a Concern

In my experience, having tried many of the raw chocolate products on the market today, including the Navitas brand (very popular in health-food stores), the David Wolfe Cacao Beans are simply the highest quality, retaining a clear crisp cacao bean skin (without discoloration), a wonderful simple chocolate flavor, and a great crunch.

I eat a few (5-10) of these raw cacao beans everyday, without processing them even into a smoothie, since they are incredibly healing and nourishing plain (or simply dipped into some honey or agave nectar).
