ChocoVivo Cacao Beans are the perfect SuperFood. They are packed with fiber, flavanols, protein, calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, iron and vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B9 and E. We use an old technique called the Mayan method where the beans are less acidic and less bitter while maintaining a higher level of antioxidants. Our Cacao Beans are organically grown and more than fair-trade. We are continually working with our grower to protect the region and educate people in their area. Use in smoothies, trail mix, sauté with olive or avocado oil and sprinkle with sea salt as an appetizer, or enjoy it straight out of the bag to satisfy your chocolate cravings without the unnecessary sugar. <br><br> ChocoVivo makes chocolate from bean-to-bar. What makes the chocolate special is the way it is processed and the ingredients used. It’s stone ground which is how the Mayans and Aztecs made chocolate over 2000 years ago grinding chocolate with a tool similar to a mortar and pestle called a mano and metate. It’s not over processed, thus, the chocolate is not refined through rollers, conched or tempered. ChocoVivo only makes dark chocolate. There’s no milk powder, soy lecithin or additional cacao butter. From using only whole cacao nibs to whole spices, the ingredients are as natural as Mother Nature intended our food to be.
