I became interested in organic cacao powder after reading Naked Chocolate: The Astonishing Truth About the World's Greatest Food and Superfoods: The Food and Medicine of the Future.

Cacao Beans

Cacao beans are listed as one of the top 10 superfoods by David Wolfe. I was quite excited to learn about this as I am a big fan of chocolate. In case you didn't know all chocolate comes from the cacao bean or also known as the cocoa bean.

This cocoa bean is actually the seed or nut inside the pod/fruit.

According to David Wolfe, "the raw cacao bean is one of nature's most fantastic superfoods due to its mineral content and wide array of unique properties."

However, the many benefits of this bean are destroyed by cooking, refining, and processing.
