This is the best raw chocolate ever! Truly Raw Chocolate is one of a kind. It is all raw, certified organic and packed full of nutrients! Chocolate is made from cocoa beans which grow on cocoa trees called Theobroma cacao.

These extremely high quality raw cacao nibs are Certified Organic by SKAL International. These cacao nibs come from a non-hybrid ancient Criollo variety of cacao. These Criollo beans are the most delicious and preferred beans produced, the "King of Cacao."

The cacao component in chocolate is rich in a number of essential minerals, including magnesium, copper, potassium and manganese. Indeed, chocolate is thought to be one of the largest single contributors of copper to the diet in the United States.

Flavonoids in Chocolate Of much greater interest in the context of health benefits is the rich flavonoid content of raw cocoa and the relatively rich flavonoid content of some chocolates and cocoas. Flavonoids are part of a large and diverse class of phyto-chemicals called polyphenols. Several thousand flavonoids exist in substantial amounts in common plant-based foods, such as tea, chocolate, cocoa, soybeans and wine. Epidemiological research, which studies the association between diet and health, in the last decade has suggested that some flavonoids might protect against certain chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular disease.

Other Fun Facts!
Chocolate's antioxidant potency roughly matches that of gallic acid, another potent antioxidant, and is even more effective at cutting oxidation of (LDLs) than those in red wine (consumption of which has been found to reduce significantly an individual's risk of heart attack).

Chocolate contains copper (.8mg per 100g) which enhances red blood cells' ability to carry oxygen. The average woman is deficient in copper. A good source of copper is liver but wouldn't you rather eat chocolate?

PEA(Phenylethylamine) is followed closely by theobroma as the chocolate chemical most responsible for lifting depressions. It is one of a group of plant-based stimulants called methylxanthines whose best know member is caffeine. Chocolate has straight caffeine , too, but in very small amounts (70mg/100g). The effects of theobroma are similar to, but milder than caffeine's, and include alertness and decreased fatigue.

Chocolate's high level of magnesium (131mg per 100 g) is also credited for adding to the euphoria one gets from eating chocolate. Magnesium levels are found to be low during menstruation.

Serotonin (3mg/100g) and tyramine (2mg/100g) are also present in chocolate and provide a mild calming, balancing effect.

Note:
- Refrigeration of these cacao nibs is not required, although recommended for optimum freshness.
- These extremely high quality nibs are Certified Organic, raw exclusively sold in the United States by only a very few vendors.
- Due to our high level of quality control, Raw Guru's Cacao Nibs have extremely low microbe counts. In fact they must test negative for all microbes.
