Choose options
Introducing Australian certified organic 65% raw cacao (dark chocolate) powder mix for hot chocolate or a refreshing iced chocolate beverage. This cacao mix is available in either a 200g (7oz) can that makes 8 servings or a 1kg (2.2lb) bag which makes 40 servings. All ingredients are completely free of any chemical pesticides or fertilizers. This product is also free of artificial sweeteners, preservatives, flavorings, or antioxidants. Raw cacao powder from fair-trade cacao beans, organic unrefined coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt come together in this high-quality, additive-free hot chocolate blend.
This mix is made up of 65% raw cacao powder. The deep and complex taste of the cacao is enriched by the coconut sugar's inherent sweetness resulting in a rich and satisfying chocolate flavor. Though this is a dark chocolate type, there is no bitterness, so this mix can confidently be enjoyed for everyday uses. Intended as a drink mix, the powder can also be used for topping sweets, adding flavor to a banana and almond milk smoothie, or mixing into coffee for homemade mocha. Try it on top of pancakes and baked goods and enjoy a wide range of culinary treats enhanced by chocolatey richness.
What is Raw Cacao?
Raw cacao is made by cold-pressing cacao beans to form powder. Since the powder is prepared without any heating processes, it retains the natural light brown color, natural aroma, and many essential nutrients. Cacao contains antioxidants such as epicatechin and flavanol, also known as cacao polyphenols. This superfood is also rich in nutrients like magnesium, iron, calcium, phenylethylamine (PEA), zinc, copper, and manganese. Cocoa powder, on the other hand, is produced at high heat, resulting in a loss of nutrients.
What is Unrefined Coconut Sugar?
Coconut sugar, also called coconut blossom sugar, is an unrefined sugar made from the sap of coconut tree flowers. The flavor profile is similar to brown sugar with a hint of caramel. Since it is unrefined (unfiltered and unbleached), it has a lower glycemic index (GI) and many natural nutrients including vitamin C, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc.
Sugar-Free Type vs. 65% Cacao Type
We offer two types of cacao hot chocolate mix from the same producer. Rest assured that both types are made with only all-natural ingredients.
65% Cacao Additive-Free Mix: This mix is made up of 65% cacao, resulting in a dark, rich cacao flavor. It is sweetened using organic coconut sugar, which has a lower GI than standard sugar. Recommended for those who want to enjoy a guilt-free hot chocolate experience.
Sugar-Free Mix: This mix uses organic xylitol instead of sugar. The xylitol is derived from GMO-Free corn for a worry-free product. Xylitol is a low GI and low calorie ingredient, making this product a great choice for health-conscious consumers.
