Cacao is the purest form of chocolate and commonly referred to as the “food of the gods.” It’s thought of as one of the most important superfoods due to its high amount of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins compared to other foods. Antioxidants help protect cells in the body from free radicals that are produced during the breaking down of food. The nutrients in Cacao have been shown to help lower blood pressure, improve blood flow to the brain and heart, and aid in preventing blood clots. Why not Cocoa? Cocoa is highly processed which significantly reduces the antioxidant count.
