So what’s the deal with ceremonial cacao?!
Ceremonial grade cacao is found growing naturally in the wild, it’s then fermented to activate natural compounds and enhance flavour profile, lightly toasted or sun dried, cracked and then traditionally stone ground into a paste - nothing added, nothing removed.
Meaning all the good fat is still intact which is removed in cacao powder.
The fat helps balance out the stimulating properties of cacao and helps the absorption over a longer period of time.

Some of the health benefits of ceremonial grade cacao;

  • Rich in antioxidants!

  • Cacao assists the body in producing serotonin, the ‘feel good chemical’.

  • It contains PEA, which stimulates the nervous system to release the ‘love chemical’.

  • It elevates our mood, relaxes us (magnesium), speeds up metabolism, boost focus and mental acuity and leaves us feeling euphoric #yesplease

Being that’s it’s ceremonial cacao it also means your invited to sit down, take a breather, perhaps set an intention or two... journal... do gratitudes... or whatever best suits you!
