Why Raw?
Cocoa is one of, if not the most health promoting foods. The health enhancing properties of cocoa are severely limited by heating, adding dairy products and by using alkaline washes [a practice employed by many Belgian chocolate makers]. Being a raw food, Raw Amour is not heated above a temperature that would destroy the enzymes and nutrients which give chocolate its health promoting properties.
A few of the important health benefits of raw chocolate include:
Out of all the whole foods that contain antioxidants, raw cocoa is the highest in the world.
- Two tablespoons of chocolate (one ounce) has more antioxidants than 4 cups of green tea.
- Contains more heart-healthy phenols than red wine.
- Contains more cardioprotective proanthocyanidins than blueberries
Highest whole food source of magnesium which:
- Relaxes muscles
- Improves peristalsis in the bowels
- Relaxes the heart and cardiovascular system
- Can help prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD)
Cocoa contains these essential vitamins and minerals:
- Magnesium, Calcium,Zinc,Iron, Copper, Potassium, Flavonoids,Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5
Raw chocolate contains several compounds that stimulate the production of serotonin and dopamine which help enhance one’s mood and emotional state.
