Our cacao powder, also known as cocoa powder, is made from the finest cacao beans and has a decadent and full-bodied chocolate flavor. Enjoy cacao powder in hot chocolate, smoothies, and brownies, or top your dessert with an elegant dusting of this fine powder. The savory chocolate taste will take you to chocolate heaven; cacao's health benefits are just the cherry on the top.

What is Cacao Powder?

Our organic cacao powder starts with high quality organic raw cacao beans that are roasted and then ground into a fine paste. The excess cacao butter is then squeezed out of the cacao bean paste and the remaining solid blocks of cacao powder are grated into a fine powder. Our natural processed cacao powder isn't treated with alkali so it has a deep, bitter flavor. This product is heated during the manufacturing process and is not considered raw.

What Experts Say about Cacao Powder

Dr. Oz from the Doctor Oz Show: "You don't always have to say no to that piece of chocolate! In fact, if you are looking to lower your blood pressure or boost your mood, a bite of dark chocolate or a sip of hot cocoa might be the perfect answer. The cocoa found in some of your favorite desserts contains many super powers that can help improve your health, inside and out."

Health Bits and Bites

1. High Concentration of Antioxidants: Cacao contains more flavonoids, a type of antioxidant, than any other food. That's more antioxidants per cup than wine or tea! The presence of the high amounts of antioxidants can protect against damage by free radicals. Furthermore, the phytochemicals in flavonoids may fight diabetes.

2. Improved Heart Health: According to researchers, regular cacao intake may reduce blood pressure by thinning blood and relaxing blood vessels. The Zutphen Elderly Study (2005) found that flavonoid intake was inversely associated with coronary heart disease, and high systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

3. Mood Booster : There's scientific research that explains why we reach for chocolate when we're feeling down. Cacao stimulates the release of endorphins and serotonin, the two chemicals that naturally boost our happiness levels.

“I received my chia seeds, organic cacoa powder & organic maca powder in 2 days--WOW! I have been putting the cacoa powder & maca in my husband's protein shake & in his oatmeal. I've been putting the chia seeds in my greens drink, & also have mixed them in a bowl with 9 parts water to the seeds. After whisking them several times, I covered them & placed in the fridge. I have been told they can keep up to 2 weeks. This makes it easier & more palatable to add to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, etc. Thanks for the GREAT service & affordable prices on your products! Gail”

“WOW... super fast delivery!!! Are you in the business of selling these great products or of simply exceeding expectations?! The powder cacao is delicious, pitted dates, black sesame seeds are also of great quality... And I'm looking forward to try the recently received acai powder.... Also, I think it's great that you carry a number of organic products... Anyway Keep up the good work!!!”

Danilo Oliveira, Medford, MA November 4, 2008

“I received my first order yesterday and was, first, pleasantly suprised by the cute and fun packaging of the box and products, not to mention the free sampler, which I've been nibbling on since, along with the Goji berries:); thank you. I ordered Spirulina, Cacao and Maca powder, as well as a sampler of the Goji berries, for starters. The spirulina will make a nice addition to my home-cooked meals/shakes, the cacao to desserts and the maca, well, to both;); because of its delicious sweet/nutty/smokey smell and taste, I can't wait to try it on oven-cooked fish fillets and definitely in bread pudding, custard/pumpkin pies and much more. Will definitely be sharing this with friends; you've got yourself a new nuts.com fan/customer. Thank you!!!. ”
