Cacao is a top source of antioxidants; and it contains an abundance of magnesium and iron. To make Nativas(R) Organic Cacao Powder, the finest cacao beans are milled at low temperature to protect the nutrients and flavor. Nativas Organic Cacao Powder is a healthy alternative to conventional over-processed "cocoa" used for baking, hot chocolate, desserts and smoothies. Cacao powder has been an important food in South America for thousands of years. A spoonful can transform a smoothie or dessert; and it's essential for making a Mexican mole sauce. Free of any sugar or fillers, pure Navitas Organic Cacao Powder provides you with exceptional flavor and texture along with a healthy abundance of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
