Cacao Gold Powder by Power Superfoods 

Here's a delicious mouthful to wrap your tongue around - "Cacao Nacional Arriba Fino de Aroma" - the name of this heritage Cacao Bean variety found only around Ecuador (a country justifiably famous for their chocolate products). The strong Aussie dollar allows us to bring you this previously unaffordable decadence - 100% pure certified organic raw Cacao Powder from a rare heritage Ecuadorian cacao bean - revitalized from likely extinction. Growing near the equator results in a unique photosynthesis, accounting for its impressive nutritional content, deeper colour/aroma/flavour AND a naturally richer cocoa butter content gives this luxury Cacao Powder a smoother texture on the tongue. Mmmmmmmm... we all deserve this decadence! 

Nutritional Benefits

By now, everyone must have heard the many advantages of dark chocolate consumption, rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, protein and minerals like zinc, calcium, chromium, iron, potassium and magnesium - but here's another advantage with this very unique product. We are very proud that our Ecuadorian partners are applauded internationally for having taken a giant leap beyond just trading fairly and paying guaranteed premium crop prices direct to farmers... their compatriots reap brilliant long term benefits through our supplier's generous re-investment of part profits back into community development projects over there including:

1. award winning conservation initiatives (tree nurseries for sustainable co-planting of endangered rainforest species)

2. ingenious environmental programs (like replacing toxic disposables with solar rechargeable batteries in areas without reliable electricity)

3. developing organic technical education and Special Needs curriculums for area schools (largely unavailable, yet desperately needed)

So a big round of applause for these true social revolutionaries!!

Suggested Uses

So many different & delicious ways to enjoy! For example, use like cocoa powder in desserts, cookie batter, muffins, drinks, chocolate creations, raw foodie treats, smoothies, or sprinkle over ice cream, yoghurt, cheesecake, coffee or hot chocolate... feel free to experiment and become your own gourmet master chef! (Note: 15g = 1 heaped TBSP approximately)
