Cacao (pronounced ka-cow) is the raw bean that is roasted and often fermented to make the chocolate you know and love. However, during these processes, the nutrients and antioxidants naturally found in cacao are weakened, all the while making the delicious cocoa powder that is used to make chocolate. So yes, while dark, mildly sweetened chocolate is an antioxidant rich food, raw cacao is far better for you to eat. Possibly one of the greatest gifts of nature is that chocolate is anti-aging. With one of the highest measured antioxidant (ORAC) capacities, cacao helps protect your cells from oxidation and aging. Improving vascular health, increasing HDL (the good) cholesterol and lowering blood pressure have all been studied as benefits of incorporating antioxidant-rich cacao into your diet. Cacao also contains other important minerals like iron, selenium, copper, zinc and manganese. As a valuable source of whole food magnesium, cacao helps to maintain a healthy brain, thyroid, and anti

“If nobody else is going to invent a dishwashing machine, I’ll do it myself.” That proclamation from Ohioan engineer Josephine Cochrane — who was, incidentally, granddaughter of steamboat inventor John Fitch –started a revolution in homemaking that some 60-years in the making resulted in the popularization of the dishwasher.

Cacao is a superfood often confused with cocoa. They are quite different foods. To an untrained ear and an untrained eye they may seem similar. You’ll learn that cocoa isn’t a super food, while cacao is. Let’s take a moment to demystify cocoa or chocolate as a healthy delight. Cocoa butter isn’t the only brilliant product yielded by the cacao pod. Other cocoa solids (such as cocoa powder) are also extracted from the cocoa bean and contain slightly different compounds which in turn provide different skincare benefits. Cocoa powder contains lots of minerals including calcium, potassium and zinc. Most importantly though, cocoa solids contain high levels of caffeine and theobromine which are only present in trace amounts in cocoa butter. Caffeine and theobromine have similar properties and are brilliant in skincare. These compounds are able to break down fats and can have draining properties on fatty cells which allows them to be used for skin firming. Caffeine and theobromine are often
