Ok...I just received this Cacao Powder in the mail. It was a day early :) Like that! I have to say that people were saying it tastes so rich and full of flavor. One even said that she wet her finger and stuck it in the bag and it tasted good. No bitterness. Like a chocolate bar. Sorry, but I didn't get the same result. I have made me and the Man a cup with just water. It doesn't taste good. I wasn't looking for taste though. I was looking for good results with cholesterol buildup. So, I will be back on that one. I do know that it isn't bitter like the regular cocoa that I have been drinking as a child. If this was used as a hot chocolate, chocolate shake or smoothie, Honey, it would be Delish. I will do that from time to time, but right now, I'm interested in our heart, brain and artery health and this can provide what we need. I will get back to you after a couple of weeks. This should help with our blood pressure. The cost was fine for the richness. It blends really well in warm or cold water. Can't wait to see our energy levels go up. It's supposed to help with your metabolism. Pure ingredients makes me feel at ease with this product. I think it is a good quality too. Thanks for this product. Read more
Just love this cacao powder! In a mason jar or 1 quart glass pitcher, I use a 1 heaping tablespoons in 1 1/2 cups of warm milk, dash of salt, whisk, heat briefly again, whisk again and it is wonderful! Sometimes I add a touch of cinnamon or vanilla bean. Does not need sugar as the sweetness of the milk is sufficient since there is no bitterness that is caused by processing like alkaline cocoa powder has. Works well in baking, too. This is a wonderful treat and how I enjoy my dark chocolate flavor needs! Read more
I gave it only 5 stars because there weren't more. What a way to start off the new year. Shoveled snow from half the driveway until my fingers froze. Heated a kettle of water... 2 heaping tsp in the mug, 3/4 water and stirred in half and half. Good. I tried it at various strengths. Not bitter at all. Very smooth. No sweetener required. This is good stuff. Back to clearing snow. Happy New Year. lol Read more
This larger size is convenient for frequent use in baking or drinks. The powder mixes well, especially when blended or sifted, and has a pronounced unsweetened cocoa taste that works best in recipes where sweetness is added separately. It’s a good option for those who regularly use cacao and want fewer refills. Proper storage helps maintain quality over time. Pros: generous quantity, strong cocoa taste, good for baking Cons: unsweetened flavor may be intense for some uses Read more
This organic cacao powder has a deep, rich chocolate flavor that elevates everything from smoothies to baked goods. It blends smoothly into liquids without clumping when mixed properly, which makes it perfect for hot cocoa or protein shakes. The unsweetened profile gives you full control over sweetness, letting you customize recipes without added sugar. I used it in brownies and a morning smoothie, and the flavor was bold and slightly bitter—exactly what you’d expect from high-quality cacao. While it’s a fantastic addition to the pantry, the packaging could be a bit sturdier for frequent use. Overall, it’s a versatile and flavorful choice for anyone wanting to upgrade their baking or beverage game with a vegan, non-GMO option. Read more
Great tasting organic cacao powder. Very slight amount of sweetener is needed for my hot chocolate. Powder quickly de-solves in my hot almond milk without any lumps left behind. This is my go to from now on. Thank you Read more
I never tasted food that is so wholesome and taste so good! Thank you very much....including the soil producing the cacao and all people involved to make it an exquisite product. Special thanks to Amazon having made the world more accessible! Read more
Cacao is not only delicious, it contains a methylated xanthine (theobromine), which is a stimulant similar to caffeine. Caffeine is a body stimulant, whereas theobromine is a cerebral stimulant. Furthermore, Cacao has been shown by scientific research to stimulate Stem Cell production, and proliferation, which improves tissue regeneration. These days, a little help regenerating cell structure and cellular repair is a life enhancing benefit I can use. I don't know about you, but a cup of hot cacao in the morning goes a long way to making my day go better. Bon Appétit. Read more
