Product information "Cacao beans Criollo unpeeled organic"
Cocoa beans Criollo unpeeled (100% natural)
Our Criollo cocoa beans from one of the best fine flavoured cocoa varieties in the world are raw and 100% pure.
Why buy cocoa beans?
Cocoa has all the benefits of chocolate, but without the unwanted high sugar content and additives.
It has been determined that raw cocoa contains around 300 substances. Cocoa has the highest magnesium content of all foods. Magnesium is a component of bones and teeth, plays an important role in energy metabolism and is essential for normal muscle function and energy metabolism. Magnesium also plays a role in skeletal development and is important in the transmission of stimuli in the nervous system during muscle contraction.
Cocoa beans contain a combination of substances that trigger feelings of well-being and pleasure in us.
Incidentally, cocoa beans were regarded by the Aztecs as a gift from God - not only as an offering, but also used as a means of payment.
What makes our cocoa beans special?
Our cocoa beans are raw, i.e. they are only fermented and not roasted. The cocoa develops its typical flavour through fermentation. The beans come from the Criollo fine flavoured cocoa variety from Peru, which is one of the rarest and best varieties in the world.
Fine flavoured cocoa varieties only account for 5-10% of global cocoa production. They grow under similar, often almost natural conditions, as they do not tolerate direct sunlight and thrive alongside other tall rainforest trees. Forastero industrial cocoa, on the other hand, is usually grown in monoculture plantations.
Our fine flavoured cocoa is cultivated without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilisers.
As the name suggests, fine flavoured cocoa beans taste better, finer and less bitter than consumer cocoa beans. Criollo cocoa beans are slightly fermented and therefore develop more of their typical cocoa flavour.
How to integrate them into your daily diet?
On their own as a snack or sprinkled on muesli and fruit salad. Add to desserts and smoothies. Cocoa beans taste particularly good in combination with goji berries or nuts.
Cocoa beans are practical for travelling and on the go, as they do not soften in the blazing sun like chocolate.
Tip: If more sweetness is preferred, the beans can be dipped in agave syrup or honey. Our favourite is Medjool dates with 1-2 cocoa beans in them as an energy-rich, stimulating snack.
