Cacao is the ground seeds of the fruit of the cacao tree, a tree that grows wild in the equatorial forests of South America and Central America. Its health properties were already appreciated by the Mayans and Aztecs. The drink made from the powder was called by them the drink of the gods. No wonder, cacao has exceptional nutritional values.
The seeds are a source of vitamins, micronutrients and healthy fats. They are a treasure trove of antioxidants, mainly polyphenols. Despite containing stimulants such as caffeine and theobromine, cocoa can relieve stress. The relaxing properties are attributed to the presence of valerianic acid, known for its calming effect.
In addition, cocoa is a source of magnesium, which helps calm down in stressful situations. It also contains tryptophan, used by the brain to produce a neurotransmitter called serotonin, which promotes inner peace and feelings of happiness. It is also a source of potassium, calcium and iron. The high content of dietary fiber supports the digestive processes occurring in the body.
The most valuable properties are found in raw non-alkalized cocoa. Its seeds are neither roasted nor roasted, but only fermented and dried. Seeds intended for the production of traditional cocoa, are subjected to high temperatures, so they retain less nutritional value than raw ones.
