Holistic Corner Organic Raw Cacao Powder 150g

Holistic Corner Raw Cacao – 100% Natural cocoa and Unprocessed

Most ready-made cocoa powders on the market are often processed, fermented, and contain added oils, sugar, milk, waxes, and hydrogenated vegetable fats, which are linked to issues like allergies, high cholesterol, inflammation, placental crossing, and negative effects on fetal development.

In contrast, Holistic Corner unsweetened natural cocoa powder is pure, and contains a high concentration of antioxidants and compounds that enhance mood and energy.

Why is Holistic Corner Cacao Different?

1. Unprocessed (raw): Maintains its natural compounds:
   • Phenylethylamine (PEA): The natural “love” compound that naturally boosts mood.
   • Anandamide: The “bliss molecule” that provides a sense of relaxation and comfort.
   • Theobromine: Gentle stimulant that gives energy without stress or irritability.
   • Tryptophan: Supports serotonin production, improving mood and sleep.
   • high flavanol cocoa powder: Antioxidant compounds that support memory, brain function, and reduce inflammation.
   • Magnesium: Essential mineral for relaxation, reducing muscle cramps, and stress.
2. Free from heavy metals: Processed cocoa may contain: Lead – Cadmium – Chromium. Holistic Corner cocoa comes from carefully monitored soil and natural drying methods.
3. Rich natural flavor and aroma: Without bitterness from over-processing or metallic taste often found in commercial cocoa.

How to Identify Fake Cocoa?

• Raw cocoa does not dissolve in cold water; it clumps because its natural fat content (40%) only melts with heat.
• Processed cocoa dissolves easily in both cold and hot water.
• Read the ingredients and avoid: Flour, Starch, Maltodextrin, Peanut shells, Artificial flavors, Colors and Vegetable oils (soy – palm)

Does Cocoa Increase Weight?

Pure unsweetened natural cocoa powder is relatively low in calories. However, most commercial cocoa products contain added sugar and fats, which can lead to weight gain if consumed excessively. Thus, using high flavanol cocoa powder in healthy recipes or drinks without added sugar does not cause significant weight gain.

Is Cocoa Harmful During Pregnancy?

• Cocoa contains caffeine, but in much smaller amounts than coffee. Generally, 1–2 cups per day of raw cacao powder are safe during pregnancy.
• Antioxidants in cocoa help improve mood and circulation.
• Avoid high-sugar or overly sweetened cocoa products to prevent weight gain or gestational diabetes.
