Description
Organic ceremonial cacao block 125 g - Islaverde
Organic ceremonial cacao in block form was created from cryogenically ground raw Trinitario cocoa beans. It is used to prepare a rich, fatty cacao beverage, the consumption of which can be treated as a truly relaxing ceremony.
This block of cacao is the most primordial, nutritious form of natural chocolate and a product for connoisseurs. Thanks to the unique cryogenic grinding process, it is possible to retain over 40% of cocoa butter and grind the husk, which is a source of fiber. By forming the cocoa mass into a block, the product maintains its freshness and taste for longer.
Benefits of the ancient Mayan beverage
Islaverde cacao is a treasure trove of health-promoting nutrients and properties:
- provides a significant dose of magnesium, essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system and muscles (including the heart), as well as potassium, copper, and polyphenols,
- slows down the body's aging processes and the development of diseases,
- increases the elasticity of blood vessels, improving blood flow,
- regulates blood pressure and cholesterol levels,
- prevents atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke,
- supports brain function, improves concentration, memory, and cognitive abilities,
- stimulates kidney function and detoxification,
- boosts energy, improves mood, and relieves stress.
Note: Ceremonial cacao is hand-poured without tempering (crystallization of cocoa butter). The appearance of bloom, discoloration, or variations in the surface texture of the cacao is a natural phenomenon and does not affect the taste or aroma of the product.
