What is Cacao?

The cacao plant is native to the Andes foothills of northern Peru, but from the West Indies to West Africa, and Indonesia is grown worldwide today in equatorial regions spanning. The 100% Blue Lily Organics cocoa powder comes directly from the original source and is made from high-quality Peruvian cocoa beans. To make our 100% cocoa powder, the bean pods of the cocoa plant.

We carefully select the bean pods and harvest them from the cocoa plant. The cocoa beans and pulp are extracted from the pods and spread in the sun to allow the cocoa porridge to ferment, thereby exposing the cocoa beans. The beans (also called cacao beans or cocoa beans) are then ground into a cocoa paste.

The fat cocoa butter is removed by cold pressing from the pasta. The remaining solids comminuted again to produce a fine, highly concentrated organic cocoa powder.

Raw Cacao Powder by Any Other Name!

They are inferior to organic cocoa powder both in terms of nutritional value and health benefits. In contrast to Dutch cocoa, the organic cocoa powder from Blue Lily Organics was processed very poorly and no chemicals were added. Since no heat is used during the treatment, our organic cocoa powder is considered a raw food, while preserving the nutrients.

Although, this process intends to make the cocoa powder more attractive to consumers. Many of its health benefits are sacrificed. Not only does the altered pH level of Dutch-process cocoa make it impossible to use in recipes containing baking soda, but the chemical processing also removes many of the antioxidants that lend raw cacao powder its power as a superfood. Dutch-process cocoa powder can contain 60% to 90% fewer antioxidants than raw cocoa powder.

That’s not all: organic cacao powder can contain as much as four times the antioxidants found in green tea!
