Chocolate (theobroma cacao) is one of the leading antioxidant rich substances on the planet known today. It also provides an abundant source of minerals like iron and magnesium. When the cacao beans are roasted, these nutritional elements are damaged and unable to be absorbed by the body at their full potential. As our name implies, we use only raw chocolate in its purest form - unheated, unprocessed and unadulterated.
Many people believe that chocolate is high in caffeine. On the contrary, Cacao contains only a fraction (0.2%) of caffeine and is mainly composed of theobromine which has a similar stimulant effect as caffeine without the harmful side effects.
There are also other chemicals in chocolate which give it its reputation as a food associated with love. These include phenylethlamine, tryptophan, and anandamide, which are “feel good” chemicals that naturally occur in the brain and aid in one’s sense of well-being.
