Properties of Raw Cacao
Magnesium
Magnesium is the primary mineral missing when heart problems occur. Magnesium increases the overall vigor of the heart muscle. This mineral also decreases blood coagulation thus lowering blood pressure and helping the heart pump more effectively. Cacao, of course, is a fantastic food source of heart-supporting magnesium.
Antioxidants
According to research cited in The New York Times, fresh cacao beans are super-rich in antioxidant flavonols. Cacao beans contain 10,000 milligrams (10 grams) per 100 grams of flavonol antioxidants. 10% antioxidant concentration level! Cacao is one of the most abundant sources of antioxidants of any food.
Anti-Depressant Properties
Cacao is an excellent source of serotonin, dopamine, and phenylethylamine, three well-studied neurotransmitters, which help alleviate depression and are associated with feelings of wellbeing.
Cacao contains monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO Inhibitors) that improve our mood because they allow serotonin and dopamine to remain in the bloodstream longer without being broken down.
Cacao contains anandamide which delivers pleasant feelings.
Cacao also contains B vitamins, which are associated with brain health.
Cacao contains significant quantities of the amino acid tryptophan which is yet another powerful mood-enhancing nutrient.
All this makes cacao a natural Anti-Depressant!
Lose weight, eat chocolate!
Anyone who eats chocolate knows that it diminishes appetite. There is evidence indicating MAOIs also decrease appetite. There is no scientific evidence to implicate chocolate consumption with obesity. In fact, the reverse seems to be the case. Eating cacao helps one to lose weight by allowing you to eat less.
CONSTITUENTS
Caffeine, flavonoids, phenylethylamine, anandamide, magnesium, sulfur, oleic acid, theobromine, tryptophan,
Cacao beans and nibs contain more flavonoid antioxidants than most other vegetables and fruits, with up to four times as many rich, strong antioxidants as green tea.
TYPICAL PREPARATION
Eaten raw-as is, or roasted, brewed, and powdered into tea. Used abundantly in food and other consumables. Sometimes found in extract form.
HOW TO USE RAW CACAO BEANS
Cacao Beans have a strong dark bitter chocolate flavor. You can eat them whole - plain or dipped
into raw honey. They can be ground into a rich dark powder using a coffee grinder to make raw
desserts of all kinds. Blend them into your favorite smoothies or and them to a trail/snack mix
with Goji berries and raisins. The skins are edible, so you don't need to peel them first.
The recommended daily intake is 5 to 20 whole beans.
