Certified Organic

Cacao is often sourced from cheap tropical countries like Africa that have the dreaded Capra beetle – Australian quarantine treats that cacao aggressively with methylbromide gas fumigation, irradiation etc.

Cacao Power is sourced from South America which does not have this pestilent insect and is CERTIFIED ORGANIC by Skal for EKO – a world leader in international organic certification complying with the stringent European organic standard. The 3-year monitoring program involving soil/foliage/water-testing at our expense ensures that you get what you’re paying for in a superfood.

We guarantee a premium product with:

• NO fumigants
• NO solvents
• NO pesticides
• NO fungicides
• NO heavy metals
• NON irradiated
• NO petrochemical fertilizers
• NO genetically modified organisms (GMO’s)

Cacao Facts

• Chocolate has 400 distinct flavour compounds – that’s 200% more than any other food! The exotic flavoured ‘criollo’ variety represents only 1% of world production and is the highest priced in international commodity markets.
  
• Cacao Power products have an anti-oxidant (ORAC) score of 95,500. To put that into perspective, that’s 14 times more antioxidant flavonoids than red wine, 21 times more than green tea, and 7 times more than even dark chocolate!
  
• Magnesium is the most common deficient major mineral even following a balanced diet – it is estimated that over 80% of Australians are chronically lacking.
  
• Phenylethylamine (PEA) found in cacao products is an adrenal-related chemical that is created within the brain and released when we fall in love, and also help increase focus and alertness.
  
• Pure raw cacao seems to diminish appetite – likely as a result of it’s unusual MAO inhibitors that allow more serotonin and other neurotransmittors like anandamide (the bliss chemical) to circulate in the brain, precipitating a rejuvenating effect.
  
• Cacao beans, nibs and powder contain no sugar and have a fat content lower than most other nuts.
  
• The Kuna Indians of the Panamanian Islands consume significant amounts of high-flavonol cacao; they also have extremely low blood pressure that doesn’t climb as they age.
  

Nutrient Profile

Much of the world’s chocolate products are sourced cheaply from gruelling plantation-style industry employing child labour or enforced labourers. Power Super Foods will never support these practices – we believe everyone has the right to a fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work. Consequently, Cacao Power is a Fair Trade product.*
