Cacao Beans (Whole)

It's as if the ho-hum bag of cacao powder in your pantry metamorphosed into the highest quality, most decadent, rich, ethically sourced cacao powder imaginable.

This organic cacao powder is direct trade and traceable to 200 individual farmers from a regenerative agroforestry project outside of Cusco, Peru.

Many of the farms and the association are run by indigenous Koribeni and Kiteni women, who put their love and care into the stewardship of this cacao and the Amazon it calls home.

Add this fluffy cacao powder in heaps into your smoothies, use for baking in your favorite recipes, heat on the stovetop with non-dairy milk for hot cocoa, etc.

Enjoy your upgraded cacao powder adventures!

To be clear, cacao powder is not ceremonial grade cacao, even though this has excellent sourcing. The key difference is ceremonial grade cacao is a whole food, without anything added or removed, and minimally processed the whole way through with the intention of being shared as a medicine. 

Cacao powder by contrast goes through processing to separate the cacao powder and butter. This cacao powder retains far more natural fat than most cacao powders, with 28-30% fat remaining as opposed to 10-12%. It’s basically the most fat you can keep in the cacao and have it be a powder, which makes a major upgrade for delicious baking, smoothies, etc.

1. Organic & Regenerative - all of our cacao is certified organic by Organic Certifiers. We only source from farms practicing regenerative agroforestry.

2. Heavy Metals - we lab test all of our cacao, there is no lead and the minute cadmium levels are well below MADL thresholds.
