Dark Chocolate – Safe Pleasure
I notice that with most sweets, the more I eat the more I want and the worse I feel. So I switched to dark chocolate as my “sweet” of choice. It is not actually very sweet, and that is a big benefit. Because dark chocolate is low in sugar, it doesn’t trigger my desire for more. I can be satisfied with a small amount without craving other sweets.
Dark chocolate has been recognized for a number of health benefits. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, a group of antioxidants naturally found in certain fruits, vegetables, teas, wines, nuts, seeds and roots. Flavonoids are thought to reduce the risk of blood clots and to increase the blood flow in arteries. Cocoa has been found to have nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine and up to three times those found in green tea.

Organic Cacao Beans – The Real Chocolate
Organic Cacao beans are an awesome way to make your food a sweeter tasting treat, but yet they are extremely healthy for you. Every kind of chocolate that is out there is made from cacao beans, or cocoa beans. With the organic cacao beans though, you don’t have the extra sugars added and no chemicals that will taint the healthy food that they are.
Cacao beans have some great mineral benefits and antioxidants, plus they have the rejuvenating properties for your neurotransmitters. With a cacao bean that is raw you will have one of the best super foods, and it’s all natural. When a cacao bean is cooked it loses a bunch of the minerals that are in the raw bean. So why take that out? Try these raw organic cacao beans.

Understanding Super Foods: Cacao and Real Chocolate
For some reason I can’t get the vision of John Matuszak out of my head. John Matuszak — you know — Sloth, from The Goonies! Choc-o-late…Ruth…Ba-by…Ruth. Yes, none of that cinematic magic would have been possible without cacao. Could you imagine? Cacao is responsible for that delicious, sometimes decadent food group we commonly know as chocolate, but it’s oh, so much more. In fact, in its purest form, it has health benefits that might even cause you to furrow or lift your brow. But first — what exactly is cacao?
