Food of the Gods

We have been introduced to the wonders of chocolate in its purest form, the cacao bean. Cacao turns out to be one of nature’s most nutritious foods, due to its wide array of unique properties, many of which are destroyed or corrupted by cooking.

Chocolate in its purest form, that of the raw cacao bean, has health-giving properties. It is the number one dietary source of magnesium – one reason why many women crave it around the time of menstruation. It is also exceptionally high in sulphur, the ‘beauty mineral’. Added to that, it is rich in antioxidants, it’s a natural anti-depressant, and an aphrodisiac! In fact, it contains over 300 identifiable chemical compounds, making it one of the most complex foods known to man. So not only does it taste divine, it makes you feel like a goddess too!
