The process
100% Organic
Our pure cacao blends are proudly 100% certified organic. This means that they are completely free of chemical pesticides, artificial fertilizers and other harmful additives. Our cacao comes from carefully selected farmers who use sustainable farming methods, with respect for both nature and local communities. Thanks to this organic certification, you can not only enjoy the full, rich taste of pure cacao, but also the knowledge that you are choosing a product that is good for your health and the environment. Pure, honest cacao as it should be!
Our cocoa powder is 100% natural. That means that our cocoa powder is NOT alkalized, we have kept it as pure as possible. And what is alkalizing: Alkalizing is a treatment
with an alkaline, in this case potassium carbonate. By reacting with this additive you can increase the PH value of the powder somewhat. This brings out the cocoa flavor a bit more instead of the fruity flavors that you taste in natural powders. In the larger chocolate industry this is often used to get a more stable cocoa flavor.
What is the difference between Theobromine & Caffeine
Theobromine and caffeine are both stimulants, but they have different effects on the body. Theobromine, found primarily in cocoa, has a milder effect than caffeine. It provides a gradual energy boost without the jitters or sleeplessness that caffeine can sometimes cause. Unlike caffeine, theobromine is more likely to stimulate blood flow and relax muscles, which contributes to a sense of well-being. Caffeine, found in coffee and tea, works faster and more directly on the central nervous system, increasing alertness but can also lead to an energy crash. Theobromine provides a longer-lasting, more stable energy effect without side effects such as heart palpitations.
No sugar and fats
Our organic cocoa blends contain no added sugars or fats. This means that you enjoy cocoa in its purest form, without unnecessary additives. This simplicity fully preserves the natural flavour and strength of cocoa.
Without added sugars or fats, our cacao is a responsible choice, perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy consciously. Whether you use it in your daily rituals or in a special ceremony, you can trust that you are choosing purity and quality. This way, cacao remains not only a tasty, but also a healthy treat.
Why Cocoa instead of Coffee
Cacao drink is a healthier alternative to coffee for several reasons. First, cacao contains antioxidants such as flavonoids, which are good for the heart and help lower blood pressure. It is also rich in magnesium, which contributes to healthy muscle function and reduces stress. Unlike coffee, which often causes a spike in energy followed by a crash, cacao provides a milder and longer energy boost without the jitters or insomnia. Additionally, cacao promotes the production of serotonin, which improves your mood and helps you relax. In short, cacao drink offers a delicious, nutritious, and calming alternative to coffee.
Why cocoa every day
Another nice substance in cocoa is the flavonoids, which can contribute to a healthy heart by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation and regulating blood pressure.
Research also suggests that these flavonoids can improve cognitive functions, including memory and concentration.
Flavonoids
Flavonoids are bioactive compounds in cacao that contribute to a healthy heart by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation and regulating blood pressure. They support good blood flow to the brain, which can improve memory, concentration and cognitive function. In addition, flavonoids act as powerful antioxidants, neutralizing free radicals and combating oxidative stress. This promotes cell health, a strong immune system and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. Cacao, rich in flavonoids, offers a natural and delicious way to reap these benefits. A daily cup of pure cacao supports heart, brain and overall vitality.
A real heart opener
If you start with your cocoa moment and connect with your heart, it is good to know that cocoa naturally contains very nice substances that can help with this. Such as tryptophan, an amino acid involved in the production of serotonin, the "happiness hormone". This can have a positive effect on mood and reduce stress.
Another beautiful substance found in cocoa is phenylethylamine, also known as the "love hormone." It can improve mood and stimulate the production of endorphins.
