Cacao was so important to the Mayan culture that it was not only reserved for the rich and powerful, but accessible and regularly consumed by everyone in their society. Cacao was treated as a sacred food and a social centrepiece, used to accompany rituals, treat illness and has even been used as a currency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo this day, the growing of chocolate is an important cultural practice and family tradition for many indigenous groups. Ninety percent of the world’s chocolate today is grown on small family farms of 25 acres or less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eSourcing \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Cacao Powder is organically cultivated in its original Mesoamerican habitat from the most revered of Cacao trees, the ‘Criollo’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter sustainably harvesting, mature cacao pods are removed from the tree by hand, split open and the seeds are scooped out to be fermented for a week at temperatures below 40C. This low temperature fermentation process reduces phytic acid, while maintaining the Cacao bean’s nutritional properties, making it easier to digest and allowing a more efficient mineral absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter fermentation, the beans are then dried under the sun and broken into small crunchy nibs. The nibs are then ground to create a paste which contains both the fat (Cacao Butter) and the solids (Cacao Powder). The paste is then pressed to separate the two, resulting in the final Cacao Powder product which has a 10-12% natural fat content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCell Squared Cacao Powder is 100% raw and unaltered in any way, free from GMO’s and anti-caking agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cell Squared","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":40271571386504,"sku":"CACPOW250","price":19.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/1173\/2616\/products\/OrganicCacaoPowder_4946da3e-a418-4965-af5f-f4ac29199840.jpg?v=1704420907"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cellsquared.com.au\/en-nz\/collections\/organic-cacao-range.oembed","provider":"Cell Squared","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
