"Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food" -Hippocrates
The latin name for chocolate, also known as cacao, is Theobroma, meaning food of the Gods. For thousands of years the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas have been using cacao as part of their daily cultural rituals and for healing purposes and were considered so scared that the Incas actually used cacao beans as money.

That being said, it is no wonder that today we consume an average of 2,800,000 TONS of chocolate per year. We love, we crave it, we NEED it. Unfortunately, over the years we've added sugar, dairy, stabilizers, waxes, artificial flavorings and colorings, trans fats and a bunch of other unhealthy additives that has rendered all the benefits of cacao virtually useless.

Raw chocolate brings back the goodness of this incredible fruit (YES! It is a fruit). Raw cacao has a higher antioxidant value (those free radical, cancer fighting friends) per 100g than acai, blueberries, strawberries and spinach PUT TOGETHER! Now, that is pretty cool. Another benefit of raw cacao, it is super-rich in flavonols, which keep blood platelets from sticking together and causing blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes.
