Legend Says

In Olmec, Incan, Mayan, and Aztec cultures royalty and high priests would use cacao as a main ingredient in a ceremonial frothy mix of simmering water, cacao, chili, honey, and spices like cinnamon as well as aromatic flowers. They believed the benefits included wisdom, superhuman powers, virility, and spirituality. Cacao is said to relax arteries increasing blood flow while lowering blood pressure. Theobromine in cacao acts as a mild stimulant, like a softer version of caffeine in tea, perhaps this helped the ancients with mental clarity or feeling superhuman. The flavonols in cacao are said to help protect skin from sun damage and some cosmetic and ritualistic applications included applying to the face for its anti-aging properties.

 Verified Depends on the flavour you are looking for
I enjoyed this cacao which I use only in my coffee. I wanted a smooth, easy to stir ,no sugar and mild taste cacao . It is not as rich or bitter as other cacao powders and lighter in colorWhile I'm very satisfied with the product overall, I've rated it four stars instead of five due to the slightly higher price point compared to some other options on the market. However, considering its premium quality and the benefits it provides, I believe it's worth the investment for those who value top-notch ingredients in their culinary creations except that it is not organic if that is important to youIn conclusion, Rainforest Supply's Unsweetened Raw Cacao Powder is a fantastic addition to any kitchen, offering freshness, flavor, and nutritional benefits that elevate everyday recipes. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality cacao powder that meets their dietary needs and culinary standards.

 Verified Chocolatey goodness
Mmmmm.... This smells divine just upon opening the packet! It's a finely ground cacao powder, richly flavored. A little goes a long way, as evidenced by the two teaspoons I added to my pizzelle batter.The bag is sealed on top, and opens to show a Ziploc style zipper to keep the contents fresh. The packaging is low key, and the contents perfect.

 Verified Good quality and tasty
This is pure Cacao powder not cocoa powder. So it is supposed to be simply cacao ground to powder. I found that it is fresh and full of flavor. I didn't taste any other additives, e.g. sugar, in it. It is bitter, but with very pleasant taste. Seems a great quality product.

 Verified Great with Pancakes and Muffins as well as a Beverage
I've used this powder multiple times and finds it blends very easily. It isn't as strong as chocolate chips or something more solid, but pouring some in with pancake powder or muffin mix does an easy job to give something not just a different color but a nice taste to it as well.I would recommend for those with a sweet tooth adding a sweetener, from agave to sugar (I used coconut sugar and was very pleased).It blends easily enough with hot water as well and for taste experience I'd qualify more so as 'light.'

 Verified Fresh and good quality, but very mellow flavor
I was excited to try this in my baking, as I have recently been experimenting with (and loving) cocoa nibs...I had hoped this would impart that slightly bitter, deep flavor that comes from ground nibs. Unfortunately, it didn't. The flavor of this is VERY mild...I did both triple chocolate brownies and lava cakes, and replaced cocoa powder with this (I did adjust my liquids, as this seemed to absorb more, and I used baking soda in lieu of powder in the cake because of the differences in acidity). I was expecting a deep, chocolaty flavor with some bitterness, but this powder yielded really mildly flavored results (too mild for my taste). I would use it for other items, but it would be better (as others have said) for either straight use (like in flavored drinks) or when I want a really mild flavor (like when I make milk chocolate truffles). It's good, and the quality is there; I appreciate the company sourcing ethically, but it underdelivers flavor-wise for what one expects from a cacao powder IMO.I will try other items from this brand, but will stick with the dark cocoa powder I use for most of my recipes that demand deep chocolate flavor. This has found a place in my milkshakes for now (🤫...I mean in my healthy smoothies lol). 😁

 Verified Excellent For Supplementation and Baking
I regularly supplement with unsweetened cacao as part of my diet. I decided to give this a try, and it is great. Perfect for adding to your morning coffee, this is a good value and a delicious choice. You can also use it as a substitute for baking chocolate. I prefer using it for my coffee, as a topper on vanilla yogurt, and in my smoothies for a bit of a chocolate flavor without needing to add sugar (due to the fruit already in there - great with berries, by the way). A good choice!

 Verified Cold Brew addition
I use a tablespoon of this with my coarse ground dark roast beans to enhance the chocolate notes in my cold brew. Its quality stuff, and really ups the flavor of your coffee/mocha.

Explorer’s Recommendation

Cacao, also known as cocoa, is not just for adding flavor to smoothies, coffee, baking, desserts, and many typical beverages like hot chocolate, it can also be added to vegan chili, oatmeal, rubbed on meat, thickener in stew, and a multitude of non-dietary uses like cosmetics, body scrub, shampoo and more. This cacao is natural, unsweetened and does not contain alkalizing agents. This makes it perfectly bitter for sprinkling, dusting, baking, drizzling and making it the way you want it.

Explore its rich flavor

Also known as the Amazonian antioxidant king, cacao powder has over 40 times the antioxidants of blueberries and is also the highest plant-based source of iron. No wonder ancient civilizations treated this fruit like gold! If you are looking to add a boost of nutrients to your diet, search no more. Add this chocolatey deliciousness to your diet with no guilt! Drink a cup of hot cacao powder before meals to reduce appetite thanks to the monoamine oxidase enzyme inhibitors which are linked to weight loss and maintenance. Combine it with some vitamin C, in a chocolate orange smoothie to get the maximum benefits. If you like drinking milk chocolate, which contains lots of sugar and dairy, a healthier alternative is switching to cacao powder, as it is a great way to boost your intake of beneficial nutrients. Make some rich cacao brownies ideal for chocoholics! Add some cacao powder to create healthy homemade granola bars that contain less sugar and more nutrients. For a simple yet nutritious meal, cut some pineapple, bananas, and raspberries and sprinkle cacao powder for a quick and antioxidant-rich treat. Try using cacao powder in these everyday foods to get the most out of its beneficial properties.

Explore some beauty hacks

Natural cacao powder can also be used beyond the kitchen. It is a great ingredient for beauty supplies. This miraculous powder contains many antioxidants that are beneficial for the hair and skin’s health. Give beauty gurus a new and healthier version of dry shampoo. Traditional dry shampoos are packed with chemicals, but non alkalized versions are better for your hair and the environment. Make your own non alkalized and natural cacao powder dry shampoo to volumize hair. Use it to make some face makeup. This may sound crazy, but we are not joking! This natural homemade eyeshadow has a shelf life of 8-9 months if stored properly. Apart from being an ingredient for natural makeup, cacao powder can be a great addition to your natural skincare products, cosmetics, and soap recipes.

For industrial warriors

This Amazonian jewel is also great to use when manufacturing bulk products like industrial ice cream, chocolate powder, cereal, cookies, etc. Aside from using it for food and beverage purposes, cacao powder is a great use for fragrances such as perfumes, oils, lotions, scrubs, soaps, or scented candles. This is because the powder has a longer shelf life than the beans. It is also cheaper to use as it takes less space and time to add to produce. Our natural non alkalized cacao powder will keep its potency and benefits over time. Explore it!
