Peruvian Cacao Powder - 500g
Mamamuti pure organic cacao powder is rich in nutrients, deliciously full flavoured and a much healthier alternative to processed cocoa powder. It is lower in fat than cacao paste because the natural cacao butter has been removed. Due to this the antioxidant levels in the cacao powder are more concentrated than in the cacao paste. Unlike cacao paste, which needs to be melted, pure cacao powder does not require heat and is ideally used in smoothies, breakfast bowls, milkshakes, bliss balls and raw desserts.
Why is this cacao so special?
Each spoon of Mamamuti’s pure cacao powder lovingly connects you directly to the farmers and communities in the cacao growing region of Central Peru. This premium cacao has a delicious, smooth, chocolate flavour and is tended to in areas where, for years, there were issues with the cocaine cartel, farmer exploitation and extreme poverty. Growing these illegal crops was the only option these cacao farmers had. Thankfully these rich, fertile lands have now been rescued and the farmers have returned to their thousand year old tradition of cultivating some of the worlds best cacao. This shade-grown Central Amazonian cacao promotes biodiversity and improves soil fertility.
