Product Description
This is Raw, Organic Chocolate! There is fantastic hope for chocoholics everywhere! You can turn cravings for cooked chocolate into super-nutrition. All chocolate is made from the cacao bean! The raw cacao bean is one of nature's most fantastic superfoods due to its wide array of unique properties, many of which are destroyed or corrupted by cooking."People always ask me what I eat. Raw, organic Cacao Beans are the primary food in my diet. They have inspired me to eat less and live more. Cacao Beans are truly the food of the gods, the best food ever!" -- David Wolfe, author of Eating for Beauty, The Sunfood Diet Success System and othersWhat is Cacao?Cacao is the seed of a fruit of an Amazonian tree that was brought to Central America during or before the time of the Olmecs. Cacao beans were so revered by the Mayans and Aztecs that they used them as money!In 1753 Carl von Linnaeus, the 18th-century Swedish scientist, thought that cacao was so important that he named the genus and species of this tree himself. He named this tree: Theobroma cacao, which literally means "cacao, the food of the gods."Cacao beans contain no sugar and between 12% and 50% fat depending on variety and growth conditions. Nature's First Law cacao beans are around 40% fat content (low compared to other nuts). There is no evidence to implicate cacao bean consumption with obesity.Warning: Eating cacao beans may cause you to have THE BEST DAY EVER!Cacao is great fun for everyone - especially kids!

 Your chance to say you have tasted real chocolate May 27, 2008
Well... this is considered one of those health foods that are a bit unpalatable to most I would bet. The beans look like almonds and when you bite them they are a kind of semi-chewy rich dark chocolate the likes of which you have never tasked and will problably never taste again. They seem to give me some pep and do eat them one at a time now and then and keep that at my office desk. Shared them with the office though and many people went to spit them out...great gag. Still they can say they tasted real raw chocolate! Also... if you are a chocoholic like me this is the fix that lasts... you take a few and you won't want anyone to even say chocolate for at least a week.
 Deep and wonderful taste January 4, 2008

My husband and I really like this stuff! We love to eat it pure or mixed with some raw pecans and agave, or few dried cranberries. Delicious!
