Cacao bean / cocoa
(Organic certified)
Cacao beans are the seed kernels of Theobroma cacao, a small,
evergreen tree that grows in tropical climates. Cocoa is a
deviation of the Spanish word cacao, derived from the Nahuatl word
cacahuatl. Cocoa can often also refer to the drink commonly known
as hot chocolate; cocoa powder, the dry powder made by grinding
cocoa seeds and removing the cocoa butter from the dark, bitter
cocoa solids; or to a mixture of cocoa powder and cocoa
butter.
Cacao beans are one of nature\'s most potent antioxidant foods. The
foundation of all chocolate products, cacao (ka-kow) beans are
found inside the pulp of the cacao fruit. Our Cacao Beans are
sourced from Peru where they are naturally fermented to remove
bitterness - creating a smooth, rich chocolate flavor.
