ORGANIC VEGAN CHOCOLATE: Our completely organic, vegan chocolate is made with only cacao beans (dark chocolate), dehydrated cane juice, soy lecithin, and all-natural Stevia. Not only is this chocolate healthy and vegan, it's the best tasting chocolate we have ever eaten. It's formed just like chocolate chips, so they can be used in recipes, blended with kava drinks, or eaten right out of the bag. So delicious, we have them under lock and key here at the shop!  There can be no doubt that chocolate does indeed have healing properties. Studies published in the medical journal The Lancet found that chocolate contains antioxidants such as polyphenols, which have been shown to protect against heart disease, and that it contains four times the amount of catechins (a polyphenol) as tea. Chocolate also contains caffeine, theobromine, phenylethylamine, magnesium and anandamides (fatty-acid type substances).

ORGANIC RAW CHOCOLATE: Our completely organic, vegan chocolate is made with only cacao beans (dark chocolate), dehydrated cane juice, soy lecithin, and all-natural Stevia. This natural product is a raw foodist's dream; all chocolate comes from cacao beans, and these are pure, organic, unadulterated cacao beans...which taste just like dark chocolate because that's exactly what they are! This is the original food of the gods and the least thought of Superfood. Our raw chocolate is one of the richest sources of antioxidants, including potassium and magnesium, not to mention the endorphins that get released into the body when chocolate is consumed. These are great right out of the bag, and even better when made into a tea or used in your favorite recipes.

ORIGINS OF CHOCOLATE: During his conquest of Mexico, Cortez found the Aztec Indians using cocoa beans in the preparation of the royal drink of the realm, "chocolatl", meaning warm liquid. In 1519, Emperor Montezuma, who reportedly drank 50 or more portions daily, served "chocolatl" to his Spanish guests in great golden goblets, treating it like a food for the gods.

For all its regal importance, however, Montezuma's "chocolatl" was very bitter, and the Spaniards did not find it to their taste. To make the concoction more agreeable to Europeans, Cortez and his countrymen conceived of the idea of sweetening it with cane sugar.

While they took "chocolatl" back to Spain, the idea found favor and the drink underwent several more changes with newly discovered spices, such as cinnamon and vanilla. Ultimately, someone decided the drink would taste better if served hot.

The new drink won friends, especially among the Spanish aristocracy. Spain wisely proceeded to plant cocoa in its overseas colonies, which gave birth to a very profitable business. Remarkably enough, the Spanish succeeded in keeping the art of the cocoa industry a secret from the rest of Europe for nearly a hundred years.
