Each package of cacao has different tones, because it is totally organic and unique. Smooth white areas are the natural crystals and cacao butter. Keep your cacao in a cool, dry, dark place. Refrigeration is not required.
INGREDIENTS:
Pure: Only 100% pure native organic cacao (Theobroma cacao)
Turmeric, Cinnamon & Ginger: 100% pure native organic cacao (Theobroma cacao) infused with turmeric, cinnamon and ginger. The spices are added to the cacao when the ceremonial cacao is created, so it is not a powder but looks exactly the same as the pure ceremonial cacao.
Macambo: 75% pure native organic cacao & 25% Macambo bean.
Macambo (white cacao) is a rare bean very similar to the cacao and grows amongst the cacao trees. Macambo is more of a creamy cashew flavour, however their pod looks very similar to the cacao pod. Macambo is great for brain health and mental wellness. Both beans are picked, fermented and dried and melted together to form a ceremonial cacao with a little extra magic.
