What's the Deal with Cacao? Chocolate has always been a treat...an indulgence. But who knew that cacao was a superfood? When you're eating ELF Raw Whole Trinitario Cacao beans, you're enjoying a rich source of magnesium, with more antioxidants than red wine or green tea. These beans are loaded with phytochemicals like theobromine and anandamide that boost your mood and energy. And the taste... rich and complex, like the finest dark chocolate you've ever had! ELF - the Better Bean In typical cacao production, the beans are scooped from the cacao pod and fermented in large piles. Unfortunately, you get either (a) lots of bacteria, yeasts and contaminants, or (b) less nutritional value in the beans due to the damage from high heat (temperatures inside these fermentation piles can reach 200 degrees or more!).
ELF’s proprietary process keeps the temperature below 115 degrees at all times. Plus, we go the extra mile to keep our beans free of contaminants. This makes all our cacao products truly raw and totally delicious. Beyond Taste and Nutrition – Support a Worthy Cause What’s especially great about ELF’s cacao products, besides the obvious, is they are all beyond Fair Trade. We pay our farmers DOUBLE what most “Fair Trade” cacao growers get and they work under much more pleasant conditions. That's chocolate with a heart!
