Cacao Powder | Pure & Non-Alkalised

What is Cacao Powder?

Cacao powder is a pure, unprocessed form of chocolate that comes from raw cacao beans. It is made by cold-pressing unroasted cacao beans, which helps to retain the natural enzymes and nutrients while removing the fat (cacao butter). Unlike cocoa powder, which is typically processed and may contain additives like sugar and dairy, raw cacao powder remains in its natural state, preserving its rich antioxidant content.

Unprocessed/pure Cacao Powder is one of the rarest and extremely healthy superfoods. It has taken us over a year to get a manufacturer who has agreed to develop it in an all-natural way without any processing. Rest assured this is the best and healthiest cacao powder available.

Our cacao powder is raw and unsweetened, suitable for both baking and drinking. It's packed with rich colour and flavour, making it an ideal ingredient for desserts, smoothies, and hot chocolate. Cacao powder contains more antioxidants than most other superfoods—four times more than goji berries, making it one of the most potent sources of antioxidants in the world. Whether you're using it in a recipe or for its health benefits, our cacao powder will transform any dish into a nutritious masterpiece.

• Non-Alkalized & Pure: Our cacao powder is made from non-alkalized beans, meaning it retains its natural nutrients and benefits.

• Locally Sourced: We source our cacao powder from a small family enterprise in Kerala, India, where the beans are carefully selected and processed with minimal heat.
• Antioxidant-Rich: Minimal processing helps preserve the cacao’s antioxidants and flavonoids, ensuring that you get the full health benefits.
• Cacao vs Cocoa: Ours is called Cacao Powder as opposed to Cocoa powder which is the name used for a processed product. The more processing, the less the health benefits. Rest assured our product will always be pure and the least processed.
