Product Overview
What is organic Cacao Powder?
Originating from the tropical climates in South America, the Theobroma Cacao tree was sacred amongst the Mayans and Aztecs. Produced by organic growers in Peru, Cacao beans embody a source of minerals. Harvested as pods, the raw beans are selected and fermented to reduce their initial bitterness. After cleaning the dried beans in natural water, they are peeled and their core extracted to be broken into “nibs”. These are ground into Cacao paste. The fat from the paste is extracted from the solid part and the residue dried and finely ground into Cacao powder. Organic Cacao Powder is certified organic by the Soil Association under the code GB-ORG-05.
What are the Benefits?

Exactly what was promised! Also great value, flavour and consistency! Personally love it as a hot chocolate substitute or with a little boiling water to create syrup for pancakes. A small spoonful in a coffee shake creates a mocha option also! Goes Well With:Protein pancakes to give a little contrast kick

I made the mistake when first used this to add 10 grams, which just ruined everything as it tasted too bitter. Now I just use a teaspoon or two & taste before adding more. It's so much more palatable now & I enjoy the dark chocolate taste. Goes Well With:Chocolate Angel Delight, porridge & weetabix

This is great quality cacao and knowing this is soil association organic is all the better. Another very versatile food that I am delighted MP has started stocking. I got this at a really silly price when the 30% offer was running and I have never seen this anywhere at that price. Absolutely brilliant in protein smoothies - especially to counteract the overly sweet taste of many of the flavoured protein drinks available. I'm not really a fan of sweet anything, so this suits me perfectly. Some describe this as a little bitter, but that is what cocoa without additives tastes like! If you are really that bothered by it, just add a little honey to your shake. Perfect for baking too. Thanks MP.Goes Well With:Protein shakes and baking.

Bought this as an add on to my usual order for my partner to use as a chocolate replacement in her baking. We couldn't get the flavour to work for us in anything we made as it is quite bitter. Some real recipe research is required to make the most from this product, unfortunately it has taken the best part of half a packet to figure it out.
