ChocoVivo Cacao Beans 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. Taste the difference. Minimally Fermented > Lower Acid > More Antioxidants Uses: 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. Our beans are specially fermented for less than 3 days. This creates less acidity. Research has shown that less days of fermentation means more flavanols are maintained in the chocolate. Our 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
