Cacao was once considered by ancient Mayan and Aztec civilisations as a food of the gods. In modern day it is undeniably one of the nature''s healthiest ingredients; this Amazonian superfood is full of potent antioxidants (40 times more than blueberries), vitamins and minerals.
Research shows that raw cacao contains anti-inflammatory and heart protective antioxidants which can help reduce the risk of strokes and improve blood circulation. Other elements found in cacao can help prevent premature ageing, balance hormones, improve digestion, combat fatigue and lower blood pressure.
From the sweet to the savoury, The Cacao Cookbook is packed with nutritious cacao recipes including breakfast smoothies, raw brownies, snack bars, steak, ice cream and homemade beauty products.
