Who doesn't love chocolate? It's sensual, indulgent, satiating, even aphrodesiatic. It's been a delicacy in many cultures for ages, and considered the Food of the Gods. But did you know the raw cacao bean also happens to be the most antioxidant rich food in the world? Cacao helps your blood vessels to dialate, which can help lower blood pressure. It even has the power to reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease! However, when cacao is combined with milk, as many commercial chocolates are, the dairy blocks absorption of antioxidants, so opt for vegan chocolate. Additionally, heating cacao, (or any other food for that matter) destroys nutrients and valuable enzymes, so it's ideal to consume chocolate raw. During the creation of our truffles, low temperatures are maintained to preserve the beneficial qualities and distinct flavor of the Guatemalan cacao beans. The only sweetener used at The Vegan Genie is raw, low-glycemic, coconut sugar!
So, now that you know this- enjoy more chocolate!
