The words cacao and cocoa are often used interchangeably, yet at the same time are two different forms of chocolate because of processing. Learn the differences in this video.

You can grind dried raw cacao beans and enjoy them. i recommend to soak and rinse the beans overnight to remove the high content of phytic acid which otherwise would block the absorption of the nutrients.

Good video. Slow, but very clear and organized info. Thanks

Wow, this was really well done, answers all the questions I could have. So at the end...I'm confused, I understand they're high in oxalates so not good for kidney stones but why not good for autoimmune diseases? Seems it would help considering all the minerals etc. Isnt there researching showing cacao is good for eczema etc?

Hello, chocolate lovers. The meaning of theobroma is "food of the gods." I couldn't agree more. How about you?

So is bad for you to eat a couple of the beans after roasting a day? I roasted mine peeled and ground them in a coffee grinder then put a couple pinches in my coffee in the morning and of course a lot of it remains on the bottom of the cup when I’m done but love the feeling. So am I doing to much in that one cup?
