Cacao Benefits
Nutrient Dense with Antioxidants and Minerals
Cacao Power has 14 times more potent antioxidants than red wine, 21 times more than green tea and 7 times more than dark chocolate. Also it is rich in zinc, omega 3, aminos, beta carotene, calcium, chromium, iron, copper, sulphur, potassium and magnesium. It is actually one of the best food sources of magnesium - a mineral which aids in muscle relaxation and stress relief. Unlike sugary processed chocolate it can actually help prevent tooth decay as its sugar is a source of beneficial complex carbohydrates. The fat content is unlike the fat found in commercial milk chocolate - as it is healthy!!
Appetite Suppressant
Pure Raw Cacao Powder can reduce the appetite due to the release of more serotonin and other neurotransmitters like anandomide - the bliss chemical and phenylethylamine (PEA) which is released when we fall in love. Now you know why chocolate is craved so much!
Cold Pressed
Certified Organic Raw Cacao powder is cold pressed without solvents, fine-milled and sifted so the most bio-available cacao particles filter into the final product. As the temperature is never allowed to exceed 40°C. Cacao powder is considered a 'raw' food with all heat-sensitive vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants remaining intact, thereby maximizing digestion and absorption.
Why Cacao and not Cocoa?
Most cocoa powder is heat extracted (up to 150°C !) with solvents from inexpensive low-grade chocolate bean varieties using plantation-style labour resulting in a bitter, oxidized product - which has destroyed most of the nutrients and anti-oxidants and likely contaminated the end product.
Why “Cacao Power” over other Raw Cacao Brands?
At Professional Whey We cannot find a better brand. If you have let us know! Cacao is often sourced from cheap tropical countries like Africa that have the dreaded Capra beetle. When this cacao arrives in Australia, quarantine treats that cacao aggressively with methylbromide gas fumigation and irradiation to kill any remnants of the insects. So any goodness that would have been in the product from low temeprature processing has been eradicated and now irridaited leaving it nutritionally empty.
Pure Cacao Power is sourced from Peru which does not have this pestilent insect which means Cacao Power Powder does not need to be treated chemically on arrival to Australia. In addition, Cacao Power is CERTIFIED ORGANIC by Skal for EKO - a world leader in international organic certification complying with the stringent European organic standard – A 3 year monitoring program involving soil/foliage/water-testing at the companies expense. On top of all that they ship it from Peru in refrigerated containers making sure the cacao doesnt get over heated in transit to Australia. No other Cacao company does this. This ensures that you get what you're paying for. Thats why we choose 'Cacao Power' by Power Super Foods.
Fair Trade
Much of the world's chocolate products are sourced cheaply from gruelling plantation-style industry employing child labour or enforced labourers. We at Professional Whey are in agreement with Power Super Foods and we will never support these practices - we believe everyone has the right to a fair day's wage for a fair day's work. Consequently, Cacao Power is a Fair Trade product.
