Highest Grade Cacao Powder

Ultimate Superfoods Cacao Nibs are from Cacao Beans that have been hand peeled, never machine processed. They retain natural qualities through a sun drying process, opposed to heating or roasting. The high cacao butter content (22-26%) gives fuller flavor, better oxidation protection and more nutritional benefits.

Cacao contains Theobromine a weak but effective stimulant, containing substances that are chemically and pharmacologically related to the brain lipids anandamide (the word "anandamide" is derived from "ananda" which is Sanskrit for "bliss"). These N-acylethanolamines in cacao target the endogenous cannabinoid system of the brain, slightly mimicking the psychotropic effects caused by plant-derived cannabinoid drugs either directly (by activating cannabinoid receptors) or indirectly (by increasing anandamide levels in the brain).
