Due to its antioxidant characteristics and potential impact on gut bacteria, organic raw cacao powder, the major component of chocolate, may be beneficial for digestive health. Although natural cacao powder includes some dietary fibre, it is rather low in comparison to other foods that are high in fibre. Theobromine and caffeine in raw cacao have stimulant properties that may increase gastric acid production and cause pain in people with sensitive stomachs or certain digestive problems. Cacao reactions can differ from person to person, so it's crucial to pay attention to how your body responds and any side effects that may occur. At Sacred Taste, we pride ourselves in only using the highest quality, whole, organic ingredients in our natural cacao powders and refrain from using gluten, dairy or refined sugars. We also recommended using an organic plant based milk of choice with minimal to no additives that can exacerbate any gastrointestinal discomfort.
