Bring home the cacaoFrom the bean to your daily cup
Our Organic Raw Cacao powder is lyophilized (freeze-dried), fermented, freshly-picked Organic powder of Cacao beans
The reasons behind the ritual
Our Organic Cacao powder is low in heavy metals and rich in antioxidants and nutrients that help protect your cells from free radical assaults that cause aging and cellular deterioration.
It is very high in copper and other important minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients that work to improve health.
Grown, not invented
Cacao (pronounced “cu-COW”) refers to the Theobroma Cacao, pod-like fruits, each containing 20–60 beans surrounded by a sticky, sweet-tart white gel. Each tree produces about 30 pods a year. Our Organic Cacao powder is made from these beans or seeds (after the sticky pulp is removed).
The care is in the preparation
Normal cacao powder and chocolate that people are familiar with are chemically processed and roasted, which destroys a large amount of the antioxidants and flavanols (the VERY things that keep a person young and healthy). A recent study suggested that between 60% and 90% of the original antioxidants in cacao are lost through "common" cacao processing. Such processing was originally developed in the early 19th Century to reduce the bitterness, darken the color, and create a more mellow flavor to chocolate, but unfortunately, this processing also eliminates most of its goodness.
Most non-organic cocoa/chocolate is treated heavily with toxic pesticides and fumigation chemicals and may contain genetically modified (GMO) products. Our Organic Cacao undergoes no such pesticide treatment!
Explore what is inside
Uncooked cacao has high levels of active flavonoids, which have been shown to boost heart health by reducing cholesterol levels, insulin resistance and blood pressure. Flavonoids are a kind of antioxidant which protects the body from aging and disease. Raw cacao has a whopping 95,000 ORAC value score per 100 grams — more than 20 times that of blueberries.
Unlike man-made supplements, cacao provides its nutrient chemicals — protein, calcium, carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, magnesium, sulfur, essential fatty acids in a natural, balanced, assimilable blend that enables all its naturally occurring nutrients to have incredible benefits throughout the body, such as lowered LDL cholesterol, improved heart function and reduced cancer risk.
Cacao also provides us with phenethylamine or PEA. PEA makes people feel wonderful. In fact, large doses of this natural chemical are released into the brain when we're attracted to someone. PEA also helps regarding natural pain and stress-relieving and helps stimulate the secretion of endorphins to help us stay alert and focused. PEA also helps in releasing the compound Anandamide, which produces uniquely euphoric feelings of relaxation and contentment.
Cacao also helps stimulate the release of serotonin and contains neurotransmitters.
Cacao also provides small amounts of the stimulants, caffeine and theobromine, to provide increased energy.

From careful preparation to your cup
Watch the videos below to learn more about Cacao, including how to open Cacao pods and make Chocolate. Note that our powdering method uses far less heat (never more than 108 degrees Fahrenheit) as we are far more interested in optimum nutrition than the authors of those videos, who are more interested in a delicious result.
Make it your own
We suggest you add Cacao Powder to Ricotriene, E7, Coconut Powder, Beet Juice Powder, or GPS powder. It makes these food powders delicious and more nutritious.
A simple mixing trick: stir the powder into a small splash of your liquid first, then add the rest. Start with a little, taste, and make it yours.
The people and philosophy behind the food
Rishi Ternes, owner of New Earth Super Foods, left the study of medicine in Germany, came to the U.S. and turned his life over to the pursuit of nutrient dense food and seeking to understand the ability of food to transform health. He believes that “we are what we eat” and that “food should be our medicine”. Rishi owns a Super Food Cafe and Health Transformation Center in Arroyo Grande, California. He continues to search the world for foods that enable to the body to repair itself. As Rishi says, “the nutrients that your body needs are in the foods you aren’t eating.”Cacao fits with the “first rule of health” which is that food should be our medicine. Cacao also fits with our second rule of health, which is that food engenders health, not vitamins. The United States has among the worst health statistics of all industrialized nations, yet the people of the United States consume more vitamins that the rest of the world combined. That means that you will eventually find, as so many others have already found, that your health will never really start to improve until you give up on vitamins and turn to food. It's time to turn to food!

Phytic acid (Phytates) is a unique natural substance found especially in plant seeds and nuts. Both in the stomach and bloodstream, Phytic acid (phytates) prevents the absorption of iron, zinc, and calcium, and other minerals, and thus may promote mineral deficiencies. It is often referred to as an anti-nutrient. It has been theorized that the presence of Phytic Acid in plant seeds is to discourage animals from eating seeds so that the seeds can go through a life cycle of germinating and creating a new life.
Sprouting and fermenting destroy the phytic acid and thus will allow a person to get the benefit of all the nutrients in the seeds or nuts.
