Product Description
Cacao beans are the seed kernels of Theobroma cacao, a small, evergreen tree that grows in tropical climates. Cocoa is a deviation of the Spanish word cacao, derived from the Nahuatl word cacahuatl. Cocoa can often also refer to the drink commonly known as hot chocolate; cocoa powder, the dry powder made by grinding cocoa seeds and removing the cocoa butter from the dark, bitter cocoa solids; or to a mixture of cocoa powder and cocoa butter.
Cacao beans are one of nature's most potent antioxidant foods. The foundation of all chocolate products, cacao (ka-kow) beans are found inside the pulp of the cacao fruit. Our Cacao Beans are sourced from Peru where they are naturally fermented to remove bitterness - creating a smooth, rich chocolate flavor.
