Cacao, the raw form of chocolate, is not only a delightful treat but also packed with health benefits that make it a superfood. Beyond its rich, slightly bitter taste, cacao offers nutritional properties that can enhance both physical and mental well-being.

Firstly, cacao is a powerhouse of antioxidants. These compounds fight free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress and the risk of many chronic diseases. It’s particularly rich in flavonoids, which have been linked to improved heart health by lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow to the brain and heart.

Cacao also contains a significant amount of magnesium, a mineral essential for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Magnesium promotes muscle relaxation and has been shown to improve sleep quality, making cacao a great evening treat for a restful night.

For mental health, cacao is a natural mood elevator. It stimulates the production of endorphins, known as the ‘feel-good’ hormones. Additionally, it contains phenylethylamine (PEA), a compound that creates a feeling of excitement and well-being.

Even better, cacao can be enjoyed in various forms – as nibs, powder, or in its pure dark chocolate form. Incorporating cacao into your diet can be as simple as adding cacao powder to smoothies, oatmeal, or baking recipes, or just enjoying a piece of dark chocolate.

If you’re like me and you’re a real Chocolate-fan, this one is for you. There are many types of Chocolate but not all of them are healthy, far from there. Let’s deep into the ones that are considered a Super Food: the dark chocolate and cacao nibs. Dark chocolate contains between 70 and 99 percent of cacao. The higher cacao content leads to a stronger taste in the dark chocolate than in the milk chocolate for example.
