Let Your Heart Shine with Beloved Cacao!

Beloved Cacao is 100% Raw, Certified Organic Arriba Criollo Cacao Paste, Jungle Grown in Ecuador. Certified Kosher. Exceeds Fair-Trade Standards. Processed in a pristine, dedicated Cacao facility.

The packaging of Beloved Cacao is 100% compostable! This includes the zipper pouch, films, the sugarcane labels, inks, and adhesive, all of it 100% compostable. Safe for home composting. Results in home compost systems may vary. Please re-use this blessed-up bag, and compost when its life cycle is complete. The intention of this elevated packaging is to honor the sacredness of her medicine, that it holds the highest vibrations of Love in every detail involved.

This Ecuadorian Cacao variety is what I serve in Cacao Ceremonies and what I personally drink every single day. It's perfect for daily drinking: The energy is very pure and clear, gentle and fragrant.

Sourcing Cacao that is ethically produced, fair-trade, truly organic and pure is hard to come by. Beloved Cacao exceeds the standards necessary for a truly vibrant product made with Love.

Cacao is deeply sacred and is known as the Food of the Gods. In her pure form, she is nutrient-dense, bliss-inducing, heart-healing, and helps you to access the infinite expanse of Love that dwells with you.

I have affectionately named this Ecuadorian variety I’ve worked with for several years Beloved Cacao, for she is my dear companion; a treasured, beloved guide in my daily life and in my heart. The energy of every bag of Beloved Cacao is radiant with the pure vibrations of LOVE. Love for the planet, Love for the creation, Love for the medicine, Love for the recipient.

Through the clarity of heart purpose that Cacao brings, it is clear that my work is to help share the heart-opening gifts of Cacao with reverence and integrity, and thus expand the presence of Love on the planet in this way. With the blessing of my Cacao teachers, I embrace this sacred role fully with gratitude.

“Beloved Cacao is potent! Cracks my heart open each and every time. I can be sure that I'm going to cry a good cry and feel deepening and expansion of the love within me every time I commune with Beloved Cacao. I have recommended it to friends because it has been very helpful in bringing more softness, joy, and balance into my experience -- of course, that is something worth sharing with our beloveds. Thank you for sharing this medicine, Angela.”

How to Use:

Beloved Cacao paste comes as hardened flat chunks that may be melted in hot water for a divine drinking experience, or used for chocolate making, or even eaten simply as is. My favorite way to eat this Cacao is stuffed in a date! Directions for making a ceremonial cup of Cacao are found on the label.

WHY CACAO?

Cacao is the medicine of these times. Every day increasingly we see how much the world is in need of Love. To bring more healing to the world, we must first bring healing to ourselves. To bring Love to the world, we must first learn to Love ourselves fully and completely. To heal is to Love. When we embody authentic Self-Love, this pure Love radiates from within outward into the world.

Cacao is a heart-opening medicine that teaches us how to Love ourselves and embody Pure Love.

NUTRITION + QUALITY

THE NUTRITION OF RAW, WILD JUNGLE-GROWN CACAO:

• Cacao is the most nutrient-dense food on the planet.

• Number one source of magnesium of any food on the planet.

• Contains the highest concentration of antioxidants of any food in the world.

• Highest source of iron of any plant.

• Exceptionally rich in: Chromium, Anandamide (the bliss chemical), Theobromine, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Omega-6 fatty acids, PEA (the love molecule), Tryptophan, Serotonin, and more!

• Contrary to popular opinion, wild jungle Cacao contains very little, if any, caffeine. It has been clinically demonstrated that Cacao does not elevate blood sugar.

• Raw jungle grown Cacao is a highly effective natural energy enhancer.

• Cacao stimulates the cardiovascular system rather than the nervous system (as caffeine does).

ABOUT THE QUALITY OF BELOVED CACAO:

There are three major species of Theobroma Cacao currently in wide cultivation around the world: Criollo, Forastero, and Trinitario (a cross of the other two). Criollo is the most highly prized. Many chocolate companies claim they use Criollo cacao beans, when in reality, they have Forastero varieties. Criollo varieties are very rare, comprising less than 1% of the worldwide cacao market.

Beloved Cacao is 100% Arriba Criollo Cacao derived from pure Heirloom Ecuador Arriba Nacional Cacao beans. This cacao is grown in high-elevation volcanic soil that is brought down from the mountainous regions via donkey back. The True Arriba Cacao trees are a minimum of 30 years old, and some have been growing for more than 80 years!

BELOVED CACAO IS:

• Grown in high-elevation highly mineralized volcanic soil.

• Brought down from the mountainous regions via donkey back.

• Minimum 30 year old True Arriba Cacao trees, some as old as 80 years.

• Water source is rain or deep mountain spring water - never from irrigation of potentially contaminated rivers and streams.

• 100% Arriba: We select the pods and never acquire product from aggregators thus no possible cross-contamination with the CCN51 or other low quality hybrids that are pervasive in the area.

• 100% Raw from start to finish.

• Intense deep raw chocolate flavor.

• Always sun-dried, never gas-dried.

• Phytic Acid-free

• Pods are harvested only when fully mature and ripe.

• Zero jitters due to complete lack of mycotoxins, mold, yeast and fungus (which cause an adrenal response which is similar & associated with caffeine stimulation).

• Every lot is tested for mold and mycotoxins. Proof of testing can be supplied upon inquiry.

• Processed on 100% custom artisan equipment that has never seen any other cacao but our own.

• Organic Certified

• Kosher Certified

• Exceeds fair-trade standards

* All nutritional information is provided by my Ecuadorian supplier.
