Rainforest Cacao^™ Chocolate is all-natural, roasted cacao beans harvested from the Ecuadorian Amazon. These all-natural beans are treated with extreme care at the time of harvest and then undergo minimal processing to ensure they maintain their maximum nutritional values, which includes heart-healthy antioxidants.

During the March to July cacao harvest, we buy freshly picked cacao beans at a fair trade price from small family farms in the Ecuadorian Amazon. We carefully ferment the beans to bring out their rich chocolate taste. Then we sun dry, slowly roast, coarsely crack and finally sweeten the beans with just a touch of sugar cane syrup.

The care we put into this minimal processing preserves important natural antioxidants in the cacao, such as antioxidant flavonoids, including heart-healthy flavanols. In addition, Rainforest Cacao^™ Chocolate helps to support healthy cholesterol levels and microcirculation.
