Cacao Butter

Product Description

What is it?

The cacao bean is a nutritional powerhouse, supplying our bodies with an army of antioxidants that help to fight disease, promote a “feel good” sensation, and deliver essential minerals that help us to radiate. One of the critical parts of the cacao bean’s success as a superfood is the presence of cacao “butter,” an essential fat that is a source of beneficial high oleic acid. This monounsaturated fat is like the fat found in olive oil, a healthy fat that raises good cholesterol and reduces appetite. Our Organic Cacao Butter makes a great source of heart-healthy fat for decadent whipped desserts, raw chocolates, and creamy beverages. Try it on your skin as a moisturizer for natural protection from environmental toxins and the elements.

How to use?

It is perfect for making delicious healthy chocolate treats, you can add it to your desserts, ice cream and it makes a decadent chocolate sauce when gently melted with cacao powder and agave syrup. Traditionally it has also been used as a moisturiser and massage oil, being especially good for babies bottoms as it is rich in vitamin E, it is also a great addition to natural organic based cosmetics such as soaps and lip balms.
