Raw Organic Cacao Butter Chunks 500g - Power Super Foods

Cacao Butter is the edible natural fat of the chocolate bean, cold pressed to retain its nutritional properties and exquisite natural aroma and flavour. This is a top quality, certified organic brand, using no pesicides, high heat or solvents in the extraction process. It's traditionally been used as a rich natural moisturiser; as a decadent massage oil; for soothing babies sore bottoms; in organic- based cosmetics like lipstick and balm, and in luxury soapmaking. 

Suggested Uses: Raw Foodists love it !! Use instead of butter on toast etc, or warm gently until soft (melting point approx 35C / 95 F), then add as desired to raw foodist concoctions like blissballs or ice cream, chocolate creations, smoothies or desserts - or smear on skin and lips for the ultimate moisturiser. I LOVE to use it in baking healthy chocolate cakes using raw cacao, coconut sugar and cacao butter instead of regular butter. It makes the cake rich and 'chocolatey' and extra moist.

Cacao butter is  a 'good' saturated fat. These are important for overall health and required by the body for skin and hair quality, hormonal regulation and fertility - and are irrelevant to cholesterol and weight gain. Others include coconut oil, olive oil, and a little duck fat for baking potatoes. SUGAR is one of the biggest drivers of heart disease and inflammation, NOT good fats.

Cacao Butter is a good source of Vitamin E (beta- and gamma- tocopherols) and has a unique composition including the essential fatty acids Omega-6 and monounsaturated Omega-9 (oleic acid, like olive oil) as well as stearic acid - an unusual fat in that it neither increases nor decreases blood cholesterol.
