David Wolfe’s Raw Chocolate

David Wolfe and his company Sunfood Nutrition have been one of the first to introduce raw organic chocolate (also called “cacao”) to the US market and the world market. But what is so significant about the chocolate being raw, as opposed to being processed through traditional heating and roasting methods?

Secret History Of Chocolate

It probably sounds unbelievable to many of us that a food as popular as chocolate might have a rather cryptic, hidden history–not necessarily what we may have been led to believe by the modern chocolate industry–especially given the fact that chocolate is one of the most widely-eaten foods in the entire world. In fact, at any given time, 1 out of every 100 people in the world is consuming chocolate in some form.

The modern commercial chocolate industry processes the heck out of its products. It roasts the chocolate for long periods of time at high temperatures, mixes in tons of additives, presses out its highly-enobled and refined oils, adds genetically-modified ingredients (like soy lecithin), adds artificial flavors (like synthetic vanilin), adds dairy (with all the hormones and antibiotics it contains), and adds cane sugar to the finished product.

Raw Cacao: A Modern Revelation

For many of us, this is the only type of chocolate we have ever had. Fortunately, David Wolfe’s Sunfood Nutrition imports some of the highest-quality raw organic chocolate beans (cacao) found anywhere in the world, and presents it to you in its original, unprocessed, untampered-with state.

Raw Organic Cacao Beans: Why is this significant?

• First, all the original flavors and textures are completely intact, connecting you with the original raw organic cacao experience.
• Secondly, the extremely high antioxident content of the chocolate has not been blocked by the addition of dairy and sugar (known blockers of the body’s ability to use antioxidents).
• Third, all of the many varied Phenethylamines (PEA) are completely intact. These chemicals are known as “love chemicals” as they make you feel like you are in love.  They also help lift your mood (and are known to be lower in people with depression)–and help surpress your appetite, helping you lose weight.  Cooked chocolate has almost all of these precious mood-modulating chemical completely cooked out.

Beware of Raw Chocolate Quality Differences

These are just a few of the many, many important qualities of the raw organic cacao nut–now available to you from David Wolfe’s Sunfood Nutrition.

I have tried many, many different brands of raw cacao on the market today.  Many health food stores and online stores are beginning to carry whole cacao beans, cacao nibs (broken pieces of cacao beans), and raw cacao powder.

The quality varies greatly among these products.  If the cacao beans you are eating taste vinegary, or are soft, or look like there are bits of mold on the outside, they are definitely inferior in quality.

The David Wolfe cacao beans are grown on sustainable organic farms in Ecuador, where the workers are paid above minimum wage, helping them to control the process of growing, harvesting, and packaging the raw cacao beans from beginning to end, and helping to ensure the highest quality product to the worldwide audience Sunfood Nutrition ships to.
