Cacao, ‘the food of the Gods,’ has been used for centuries to boost energy and enhance mood. With over 300 identifiable chemical compounds, cacao remains one of the planet’s most complex and pleasurable foods. Cacao contains Anandamide (a euphoric substance), Arginine (a natural aphrodisiac and vasodilator), Phenethylamine (a neurotransmitter that can combat depression and E. coli), and tryptophan (a natural anti-depressant). Raising the neurotransmitters in our brain promotes an overall feeling of well-being. In essence, chocolate makes you happy!

What’s the Difference between Cacao and Cocoa? The official name of the chocolate tree is Theobroma Cacao. Some experts believe that over time the word “cacao” became Anglicized, and most likely, through common error, people started calling it “cocoa.” With the rebirth of old-style, artisanal chocolate, there is a movement to reclaim the bean’s proper name: cacao (pronounced Ka-Kow). Today, the two words are often used interchangeably.
Organic Cacao Butter Wafers are high in the mineral magnesium, essential for helping the heart pump blood efficiently, building strong bones, and maintaining proper blood pressure. Cacao also contains one of the highest levels of antioxidants on the planet, exceeding that of red wine, green tea, and many other exotic fruits and vegetables. Recent scientific studies have shown that cacao boosts blood flow to the heart, brain, and other organs while having protective effects against heart disease. It has also been shown to help lower blood glucose levels. Research from Germany also suggests that the flavanols in cacao may help maintain youthful, beautiful skin. Cacao is a good source of sulfur, promoting healthy skin, nails, and hair.
