CACAO FACTS!

As soon as you delve into the raw chocolate realm, It is highly possible you will never spend another dollar on foreign imported, processed intensely, toxic wrapped chocolate bar again. (well… I advise you to ‘at least’ buy fair trade and organic as a general ‘I love thy self’ rule)

Raw Cacao (uncooked and unprocessed) contains antioxidents, magnesium, iron, chromium, manganese, zinc, vitamin C, Omega-6 fatty acids, fibre and much more so don’t ever let your head make ‘you’ feel guilty again, eating the best and most real chocolate in the world.
