An Interesting note from the frequently asked questions found on the net on ‘Cacao ‘ from my research!

Cacao is the purest form of chocolate. It's one of the highest sources of antioxidants in foods and has a high amount of flavonoids. Cacao is higher in protein, fibre, magnesium and iron. Cocoa powder without added sugar is still high in nutrition and is a more affordable option.
