Sacred Peruvian Cacao

We are delighted to now supply this wonderful healing plant medicine.
This Cacao comes from the Peruvian Andes where they cultivate an ancient strain of the tree using permaculture principles. The naturally high cacao butter content of this unhybridised variety gives a luxuriously rich flavour and warm sensuality to elixirs crafted from its fermented beans. These highly prized beans are harvested, fermented and dried without roasting to preserve the cacao’s full nutritional and medicinal properties.

Cacao is densely packed with iron, magnesium and antioxidants and is an amazing source of serotonin, dopamine, anandamide and phenylethylamine (PEA), four well-studied neurotransmitters, connected with feelings of well being and which help alleviate depression. Research shows both PEA and anandamide (the bliss chemical) are found in abundance in the brain when we are feeling happy. Both of these neurotransmitters are present in raw cacao in large enough quantities to affect the brain and lift our moods.

Ceremonial grade cacao is incompatible with many antidepressants and some heart conditions - please check your medication before consuming.
