Cacao powder, certified organic, raw
Important announcements from Shazzie
Is it really organic?
"Recently, there has been an influx of inferior
superfoods into the UK. When buying superfoods on the Internet or in shops,
ensure you are buying organically certified (if it says organic, it should
be accompanied by the details of the certifying body (OF&G or Soil
Association, for example). If it doesn't say who's certified it, ask the
seller for their certificate. For your protection, it's illegal to sell
uncertified products as organic."
Price matching
"If you find certified organic superfoods of a similar
quality to ours at a cheaper price, we will attempt to price match this
item. Please ring Denise or Angel on 08700 113 119 for a price match."
With love
The chocolate revolution is in full swing!
We are extremely happy to present you with the UK's first raw cacao powder
to be organically certified in the UK. Our wonderful man in Peru has been
supplying us with the UK's most progressive organic superfoods for some time.
As the market has grown, he's been able to invest in new machinery and more
people. Because of this, he perfected a technique that makes truly raw
organic cacao powder from our organic cacao nibs.
This means that you can now create the world's healthiest organic raw chocolate
treats easier and cheaper than before. Oh, the decadence of it...
What is raw cacao powder (AKA chocolate Powder)?
Detox Your World's Cacao Powder is the UK's first raw, organically certified, antioxidant-rich cacao powder.
It's created by cold-pressing our cacao beans into a cake separating the oil
from the protein and fibre. The temperature is never allowed to exceed 120 degrees
Fahrenheit and is usually 104 degrees F (all other cocoa powders are exposed
to temperatures as high as 300 degrees Fahrenheit!). A high-accuracy thermometre
monitors the process. Slowly, the pure, liquid cacao butter begins to sift off
down a stainless steel valve. The remaining dry 'cake-like' material is then
cold-ground, fine-milled and sifted so that only the finest, most bio-available
raw cacao particles filter through into the finished product. This allows for
maximum digestion and antioxidant absorption. It has a delightful, full, antioxidant-rich
chocolate flavour.
Our unique technique uses absolutely no chemicals, no hexane, no solvents.
How to use this product
 Add cacao powder to all your favorite smoothies, teas, coffee mixes,
protein drinks, desserts or anything else you can think of. Just one or
two spoonfuls can transform any recipe into a healthy chocolate treat.
It even goes great on top of fresh fruit! Delight your friends with the
best food ever! Enhance your pleasure to the maximum...enjoy!
Storage
Please refrigerate or store in a cool, dry place (out of direct sunlight)
if you can, though it's not essential. This product is microbe-free and
highly-stable.
The amazing story of raw cacao powder
ORAC antioxidant laboratory analysis confirms that there are over 25,200
antioxidants in a single spoonful of raw cacao powder!
This delicious, easy-to-use and mega-potent (955 ORAC units per gram!) form
of chocolate has broken a world record. Never before has there been 25,200 ORAC
units of antioxidant power in a spoonful of anything.
Dark chocolate has been touted as a source of antioxidants, but this raw cacao
is way beyond that. Living proof that raw is better!
What is ORAC?
USDA developed a scale called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). It's
a high-tech way of measuring the ability of antioxidants destructive free radicals.
Here's an example to illustrate a common confusion: one web site lists both
dark cocoa powder and Acai powder (Acai is an exotic fruit from Brazil) at the
top of the ORAC Scale. They say natural cocoa powder tops the list with a score
of 26,000. The Açai berry rates second highest, making it the powerhouse
of the fruit world with a score of 18,500. But what the company conveniently
hides is that the cocoa powder and Acai ORAC ratings are for 100 grams! Could
you eat 100 grams of straight cacao powder? Eugh! If you calculate the ORAC
units per gram you quickly see that dark cocoa powder is at 260 and Acai is
185.
Not bad, but that's nothing compared to the whopping 955 ORAC Units found
in each gram of raw organic cacao powder! The raw version of cacao powder
contains 367% more antioxidants than the very best cooked version. We knew
the antioxidant rating would be good for this cacao, but even we were shocked
with the results.
Why antioxidants?
Antioxidants keep you looking young. They do lots of other things that we're not allowed to mention due to UK law, so we suggest you check it out on the Internet.
A cheap way to get your antioxidants
One 500g bag of raw cacao powder delivers about 500,000 ORAC Antioxidant units.
To get that same amount of ORAC units from other foods, you'd have to buy:
- 80 - 6 oz baskets of Organic Blueberries, which would cost you about £160-£250
- 94 - 6oz baskets of Organic Red Raspberries, which would cost you about
£200-£300
- Over 5 lbs of frozen Acai, which would cost you at least £100 in a
health-food store!
- 35.5 bottles of Himalayan Goji Juice, which would cost you about £500-£1,000!
- You'd need 24 bottles of Xango Mangosteen Juice, which would cost you about
$500-£1,000!
- You'd even need over 5 bottles of Eniva's VIBE Juice, listed in the Physicians
Desk Reference as having the #1 highest ORAC value for a supplemental juice
product. Even then, 5 bottles of VIBE would run you at least £125 and
as much as £150!
This information goes to show how you need pay close attention to the true
overall ORAC values of a product -- or you won't be getting the value you deserve.
But it also shows you how at ONLY £14.95 per 500g bag, our cacao powder
is an absolute steal. Gram for gram this product is the heavy-weight champ of
antioxidant products.
Remember that raw cacao powder contains about seven times as many antioxidants
as cooked cacao powder, that's about 723% more!
Concentrated nutrients
Because it's concentrated, raw cacao powder has at least 33% more of many of
cacao's most vital nutrients! In Raw Cacao Powder, much of the oil is removed,
while nearly all of the active nutrients remain. For example...
- The amino acid Tryptophan is found naturally in cacao. Tryptophan enhances
relaxation and promotes better sleep. Now you'll get at least 33% more when
you use Raw Cacao Powder!
- Researchers have discovered that phenylethylamine (PEA) has a positive
effect in enhancing feelings of love. And Chocolate has been proven
to be an excellent source of PEA. Now you can love at least 33% more
with Raw Cacao Powder!
- Cacao is the richest food source of magnesium of any common food.
Magnesium is known as "the heart mineral", so you can love some more. Now you get at least 33% more magnesium gram-per-gram
with Raw Cacao Powder!
- Raw Cacao Powder has at least 33% more Arginine, the
amino acid enjoyed by lovers and bodybuilders
- And much, much more!
We could talk forever about the qualities of raw chocolate, but that's what
our book Naked Chocolate book is
all about!

In our book Naked Chocolate
we mentioned the amazing story of the Kuna Indians, who live on the San Blas
Islands of Panama. These people remained healthy throughout their old age.
When the lifestyles of these people were studied, one thing stuck out.
The Kuna living on the islands drank a significant amount of locally grown,
minimally processed, high-flavonol cocoa.
The best part: for the first time ever, YOU can do the exact same thing.
You get to drink and eat this simple, yet powerful food -- very likely
the most potent source of health promoting Antioxidants in existence.
Now you can take advantage of this amazing, first-time-ever opportunity. This
is so exciting!
"The results of the raw chocolate revolution are more mindblowing than any of us currently know. Seriously, this is the biggest thing to hit the UK's health industry EVER. Wow. I love the way so many people are all working together and enjoying decadent chocolate parties galore! Er, I mean saving the planet with chocolate"

Certificate of analysis
Yearly, we recieve a certificate of analysis from our organic cacao growers.
This covers all our cacao products: nibs, powder,
beans and butter. It says many things,
yet the most interesting part is the microbiological analysis. This is the bit
that shows to us our chocolate products are safe for human consumption without
being cooked. Staphylococus aureus, pseudomonas, aeruginoses, escherichila
coli and salmonella are all tested as 100% absent from all our raw chocolate
products.
