Raw
Organic Cacao & Cacao Butter
A brief introduction, from www.sunfoodnutrition.com:
All chocolate is made from
Cacao Beans (also known as Cocoa Beans). Cacao is chocolate! All the
antioxidant value, mineral benefits, neurotransmitter rejuvenating properties,
and overall health-giving qualities of chocolate are found in raw Cacao Beans!
The raw Cacao Bean is one of nature's most fantastic superfoods due to its
mineral content and wide array of unique and varied properties. Since many of
the special properties of cacao are destroyed or lost by cooking, refining, and
processing, we feel that planet Earth’s favorite food is still unknown to most
of us. Now we get to reconnect with the power of real chocolate: raw Cacao
Beans.
With Cacao Beans there is fantastic hope for chocoholics everywhere! You can
turn cravings for cooked, processed, chocolate into super-nutrition with raw
chocolate (Cacao Beans).
Cacao Beans are extraordinarily nutritious!
Cacao is the Best Natural Food Source
of the Following Nutrients:
Magnesium: Cacao
seems to be the #1 source of magnesium of any food. Magnesium is one of the
great alkaline minerals. It helps to support the heart, brain, and digestive
system (it fights constipation). Magnesium is also important for building
strong bones. This is likely the primary reason women crave chocolate during
the monthly cycle. Magnesium balances brain chemistry, builds strong bones, and
is associated with more happiness. Magnesium is the most deficient major
mineral on the Standard American Diet (SAD); over 80% of Americans are
chronically deficient in Magnesium! Cacao has enough magnesium to help reverse
deficiencies of this mineral.
Iron: Cacao contains
314% of the U.S. RDA of iron per 1 ounce (28 gram) serving. Iron is a critical
mineral in nutrition. Iron is part of the oxygen carrying protein called
hemoglobin that keeps our blood healthy.
Chromium: Chromium is
an important trace mineral that helps balance blood sugar. Nearly 80% of
Americans are deficient in this trace mineral. Cacao has enough chromium to
help reverse deficiencies in this mineral.
Anandamide:
Anandamide (The Bliss Chemical) is an endorphin that the human body naturally
produces after exercise. Anandamide has only been found in one plant — Cacao.
Anandamide is known as "The Bliss Chemical" because it is released
while we are feeling great. Cacao contains enzyme inhibitors that decrease our
bodies' ability to breakdown anandamide. This means that, when we eat cacao,
natural anandamide and/or cacao anandamide may stick around longer, making us
feel good longer.
Theobromine: Cacao
usually contains about 1% theobromine. Theobromine is an effective
anti-bacterial substance and kills streptococci mutans (the primary organism
that causes cavities). Theobromine is a chemical relative of caffeine but is
not a nervous system stimulant. Theobromine dilates the cardiovascular system
making the heart’s job easier. This is one of the major reasons why cacao is an
important part of a heart healthy diet.
Antioxidants: Cacao
contains the highest concentration of antioxidants of any food in the world.
These antioxidants include polyphenols, catechins, and epicatechins. By weight,
Cacao has more antioxidants than red wine, blueberries, acai, pomegranates, and
goji berries COMBINED.
Cacao Also Contains the Following
Important Unique Nutrients:
Manganese: Manganese
is an essential trace mineral. Manganese helps assist iron in the oxygenation
of the blood and formation of hemoglobin. Interestingly, manganese is also
concentrated in tears.
Zinc: Zinc is an
essential trace mineral. Zinc plays a critical role in the immune system,
liver, pancreas, and skin. Additionally, zinc is involved in thousands of
enzymatic reactions throughout the human body.
Copper: Copper is an
essential trace mineral. Copper is found naturally in plants with vitamin C. In
the human body, copper helps to build healthy blood.
Vitamin C: Cacao must
be raw to contain vitamin C. All cooked and processed chocolate has no vitamin
C. A one ounce (28 gram) serving of Cacao Beans supplies 21% of the U.S. RDA of
Vitamin C.
Omega 6 Fatty Acids:
Cacao contains essential omega 6 fatty acids. All cooked and processed
chocolate contains rancid omega 6 fatty acids (trans-fat) that can cause an
inflammatory reaction when one eats cooked chocolate.
Phenethylamine (PEA):
Phenylethylamine (PEA) is found in abundance in cacao. Because PEA is heat
sensitive, much of the PEA in conventional cooked and processed chocolate is
missing. PEA is the chemical that we produce in our bodies when we fall in
love. This is likely one of the main reasons why love and chocolate have such a
deep connection. PEA also plays a role in increasing focus and alertness.
Tryptophan:
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that is transformed into important
stress-protective neurotransmitters including serotonin and melatonin.
Tryptophan is heat sensitive and therefore it is “cooked out” in many high
protein foods and in conventional processed chocolate.
Serotonin: Serotonin
is the primary neurotransmitter in the human body. Serotonin is similar in its
chemistry to tryptophan and melatonin. Serotonin helps us build up our “stress
defense shield.”

Chocolate by David Wolfe and Shazzie.

Raw Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Butter
Coconut oil works like
magic on the skin. Whenever I meet
someone who is hesitant about eating coconut oil, I suggest trying it on the
skin first and seeing what it does on the skin. Once people begin to use it topically and see the
improvement, they become believers and are more willing to add it to their diets. When used as a skin lotion, food-grade
coconut is preferred. Oil is
readily absorbed through the skin and into the body. It’s almost the same thing as eating it. So if you wouldn’t eat it, don’t put it
on your skin.

Coconut Miracle
More Discoveries
About Coconut Oil/Butter
Research compiled by Dr. Bruce Fife in his book The Coconut Oil Miracle, as well as other researchers in
the field, indicates that Coconut Oil/Butter contains no cholesterol and
actually supports cardiovascular health. Coconut Oil is a precursor to the
anti-aging compounds known as pregnenolone, progesterone, and DHEA.
Consumption of raw Coconut Oil/Butter may contribute to one’s well-being in the
following ways:
- Coconut Oil improves digestion and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and
amino acids.
- Coconut Oil supports the immune system. Coconut oil naturally fights off
viruses, bacteria, and fungal overgrowth.
- Coconut Oil improves the utilization of blood sugar and can lessen the
symptoms of hypoglycemia.
- Coconut Oil improves the absorption of calcium and magnesium.
- Coconut Oil is a powerful antioxidant.
- Coconut Oil helps the body use the essential fatty acids (omega-3, omega-6,
omega-9) more efficiently. You can and should take coconut oil at the same time
as omega 3 fatty acids or superfoods rich in omega 3 fatty acids (hempseed, flax,
Ocean’s Alive Marine Phytoplankton, etc.). Coconut Oil and omega 3 fatty acids
may be twice as effective when taken together than either taken alone.
