cacao is the #1 antioxidant on the planet! it has iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese, chromium, vitamin c, copper, omega-6 fatty acids, fiber, seratonin and PEA. (powerful little seed isn't it?!) you can get raw cacao nibs or cacao powder. i love making cacao almond milk...delicious!

PEA which is a mood enhancer. Also avaliable in cannabis and algae I think. I go on and off cacao. Sometimes I get addicted to it, sometimes I can take it or leave it. If I get into a low mood then it always lifts me out of it, every time.

Cacao is awesome, It tastes great and makes you feel great! Some people say it's poison and some say it's the best thing ever for you, I say let your body decide if it's right for you. I personally LOVE!

Yeah...I was never a person who could drink coffee before eating raw, and I find cacao gives me the shakes. I definately tend to be of Vata constitution, so I think that makes a lot of sense for me. I've heard some people claim cacao contains toxins and carcinogens; I don't know about any of that. I just know it contains caffeine, and caffeine does not agree with my body. I believe it has a lot of benefits, but just isn't for everybody.

I guess if you think of it as eating raw as what God intended, and makes us the purest version physically of what were meant to be, then maybe it is a way to get closer to God and clear away the distracting mess of sickness, and the hormone and em...
