Cocoa

this is #cacao aka cocoa bean. this is chocolate in its purest form. it is safe and beneficial to eat it this way because when left uncooked, it maintains 100% of its nutritional value, and is extremely high in antioxidants.

It’s all about the SNAP 🍫 We *finally* got around to making chocolate from the source: Cacao! There are tons of different techniques to make chocolate and this is what we found to be the most simple using ingredients and utensils we had on hand. Do yourself (& your friends!) a favor and go make some homemade chocolate 🍫 Ingredients: 2-3 cacao pods 2 tbsp sugar (optional) Directions: Crack open cacao and empty seeds into jar. Cover with a towel and set aside for 3-6 days depending on your climate. This was only 2 days but they started to smell sour already and in Florida they can become moldy very fast so I just used them. Drain any liquid out. Spread seeds on baking sheet and bake at 350° until all liquid has evaporated. Let cool then remove all shells from seeds. Yay you’ve made cacao nibs 🥳 Place nibs into a blender, food processor, or anything to grind them. Keep blending until eventually they begin to melt. I added 1 tbsp of sugar but I could have added way more 😅 Pour over a chocolate mold and freeze! Take out once fully set and enjoy 😊 This was actually so much easier than I thought it would be!! Cacao beans are edible when completely raw as well but making chocolate was such a fun experience. The taste was quite bitter and rich but in the best way possible! Fine fresh cacao pods at our fruit stand this weekend!! ⤵️ 🍫Friday-Sunday 🍫10am-5pm 🍫 10900 sw 48th st Davie fl 33328 #capcut #cacao #chocolate #chocolatemaking #fruit #cocoa #recipe #easyrecipe #dessert #veganfood #asmr #veganrecipe #foodie #cacaofruit

While indulging in 70% cocoa chocolate does introduce some antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, it's crucial to note that the quantity may not reach the threshold required to elicit significant health benefits. While antioxidants contribute to overall well-being by neutralizing free radicals, which are associated with various health issues, the concentration in this chocolate variant might not suffice for substantial impact. To enhance your antioxidant intake, it's advisable to diversify your dietary sources. Incorporating a colorful array of fruits and vegetables, along with other nutrient-dense foods, can provide a broader spectrum of antioxidants and other essential nutrients. This multifaceted approach ensures a more comprehensive nutritional profile, contributing not only to antioxidant support but also to overall health. However, taste preferences are paramount in dietary choices. If the rich, robust flavor of 70% cocoa chocolate isn't aligning with your taste preferences, opting for regular chocolate might be a more enjoyable alternative. Balancing nutritional goals with personal satisfaction is key to maintaining a sustainable and fulfilling approach to diet and overall well-being. #nutrition #fatloss #weightloss #diet

Tasting mele de cacao in brazil. Cacao pulp juice, this was the first time i tried it, i had it alot of times after it taste much better when its diluted into a juice or an icee - its an interesting flavor, you can kind of taste dark chocolate and fruit and its very sweet like a honey 10/10

Any excuse to drink hot chocolate🍫Cacao is the best hack for my dopamine levels and focus- it kicks in in 20 minutes and lasts up to 5 hours. It contains P.E.A., and theobromine which INCREASES dopamine, norapinephrine, and blood flow to the brain!! I make this when im feeling down, procrastinating, or socializing. RECOMMENDED AMOUNT 1 oz for meditation/creativity 1.2 oz for workouts 1.5 oz for socializing, focus, dopamine and productivity! 2 oz MAX! #hotchocolate #healthyrecipes #foodasmr #easyrecipe #holistichealth #cacaoceremony #lowdopamine #lowdopamineproblems #adhdremedies #adhdsupplement #adhdsupplements #wellnessgirlie #cortisol #brainhealth #brainhealthtips #adhdhelp #brainfood #holistichealthcoach #holistichealthtips
