Pure cacao contains beneficial neurotransmitters and neuro-modulators already present in our brain. It also contains reuptake inhibitors that block the pathways that our bodies normally use to break down and recycle these beneficial mood altering molecules, so the good mood lasts for longer. In the long term, cacao can have therapeutic health benefits, including creating new neural pathways that change our daily experience to include more joy, love, and connection. A Whole Food. Ceremonial cacao is made from premium whole cacao beans with nothing added or removed and minimal processing. Cocoa powder, in contrast, is made from the lowest quality cacao beans, and highly processed to separate the cocoa butter, losing the essential fat based carrier mechanism for delivering the health benefits of cacao. Our ceremonial cacao uses the whole bean to deliver optimum health benefits and maintain the integrity of the spirit of cacao.
