Cacao, Who needs it? - .. Um .. Everyone

Cacao! Just the word alone arouses the senses – Doesn’t it? Back in my glory days of old, I would pound down Coco-Pebbles and Cookies & Cream bars until I was blue in the face. After going raw I haven’t had that ‘Luxury’, thank god, and have since, ventured on an expedition to find the raw, ‘glory’, food that can replace such items. That’s when I stumbled upon David Wolfe’s book, The Naked Chocolate. A’ Las, my Chocolate devouring inner-child finally found the treat He desired. After tasting my first piece of raw chocolate I was hooked. Since then I have a constant stash of Chocolate on supply and usually have some raw Chocolate bars well hidden from the relentless eyes of my parents.
Also, I couldn’t discuss chocolate any further without mentioning it’s outstanding health benefits and astronomical ORAC rating( As David Wolfe would say, “ It’s the Best ORAC Ever!”). Although Cacao is a very addictive and powerful food, I once again want to reiterate that it’s a POWERFUL food and should be consumed in moderation along with the many other “superfoods” that are on the market today.
