The truth about
Raw Chocolate
Is chocolate a ‘Junk food’ or a "Superfood’?
We all love chocolate... there is something magical about it. Yet we are told to avoid it because it is bad for us...
Is chocolate really a junk food that you should avoid?
Absolutely not!
Cacao in its raw form is a superfood, with plenty of benefits for our health.
Some of its health benefits are:
1. It helps combat fatigue
2. It boosts your mood and improves mood swings
3. It gives your skin a glow
4. It helps fight tooth decay
5. It helps lose weight (yes, really!)
Find this hard to believe?

Why then, are chocolate products often referred to as ‘junk food’?
The truth behind this is that milk chocolate that we often find in supermarkets does not truly represent the qualities of real raw chocolate.
It is produced as cheaply as possible, packed with sugar, milk, palm fat and all sorts of unnecessary and often harmful ingredients. These chocolate bars contain only enough cacao for it to be legally classed as chocolate.
No wonder chocolate has a bad reputation!
The trick is to not mistake products made with quality raw cacao with the mainstream highly processed "chocolate" junk-food.
