What makes Raw Cacao such an amazing superfood?

MAGNESIUM: Cacao is a fantastic food source of heart-supporting magnesium.
ANTI-DEPRESSANT PROPERTIES: Cacao is a great source of well-studied neurotransmitters, which help alleviate depression and are associated with feelings of well being. All this makes cacao a natural anti-depressant.
LOSE WEIGHT, EAT CHOCOLATE!: Eating raw cacao is known to diminish the appetite. Therefore eating chocolate in its raw form helps one to lose weight by allowing you to eat less.
ANTIOXIDANTS: Cacao beans contain 10 grams per 100 grams of flavonol antioxidants. This is a whooping 10% antioxidant concentration level! This makes cacao one of the richest sources of antioxidants of any food.
