Both the health-conscious and the chocolate-loving have been raving for years about how the more pure cacao you have in your chocolate, the better it tastes and the better it is.
Why, then do so many chocolate makers actually use so little of the cacao bean (apparently often less han 60%) from which their delicious delights emerge?
Perhaps in answer to this question, the folks at Blue Stripes Urban Cacao offer amazing packages that can include an entire cacao pod, allowing fans to not only learn from whence their favorite treat comes but how to make use of more of it.
In addition to the cacao beans, an entire pod also contains the fleshy cacao fruit that actually surrounds the better-known nibs, as well antioxidant- and electrolyte-packed cacao water and a shell that can be made into flour to add even more taste and nutrition to your favorite baked goods!
No matter which parts you use, you are sure to benefit not only your taste buds, but your bones, your heart and other muscles, your circulatory, immune, nervous, and digestive systems, and even your brain (which will surely then convince you to get more!).
In addition to the whole pods, Blue Stripes offers a wide range of cacao-based priducts that includes butters, granolas, energy snacks, and (of course) bars, all of which are packre with flavor andall the other good stuff.
Cacao has long been known as the fruit of the gods and Blue Stripes is heavenly indeed- all the way through!
