complex and pleasurably satisfying foods on the planet. In its raw form, cacao
contains anandamide (a euphoric substance), arginine (a natural aphrodisiac),
neurotransmitters that stimulate and balance brain activity, tryptophan (an
anti-depressant), antioxidants and other beneficial compounds known to have
rejuvenating and anti-aging elements. Cacao is high in the mineral magnesium,
essential for helping the heart to pump blood efficiently, building strong
bones, and lowering blood pressure. Cacao is a good source of the beauty mineral
sulfur; responsible for healthy skin, nails and hair. Cacao, 'the food of the
gods' has been found to contain one of the highest levels of antioxidants on the
planet, exceeding red wine, green tea, and other exotic fruits and vegetables.
Recent scientific studies have shown that cacao boosts blood flow to the heart,
brain and other organs and has a wide array of protective effects against heart
disease. It has also been shown to beneficial in lowering blood glucose levels

What's the Difference between Cacao and Cocoa?
The official name of the chocolate tree is Theobroma cacao but, some experts say, over the years the word "cacao" became Anglicized, and probably through error, people started replacing it with the word "cocoa". Now, with the rebirth of old-style, artisanal chocolate there is a movement to reclaim the bean’s rightful name: cacao (pronounced Ka-Kow). Today, it is common to see the words used interchangeably.
