Raw Cacao Beans (Organic), 200 g BIO PLANET
Raw cacao beans are organically certified whole cacao beans sourced from Peru. The beans are processed at low temperatures to preserve natural polyphenols, minerals, and the characteristic rich cacao aroma, avoiding high-temperature roasting typical of industrial cocoa.
A 100 g serving provides approximately 23 mg of iron (164% NRV), 781 mg of calcium (98% NRV), and 836 mg of potassium (42% NRV), making raw cacao beans one of the most mineral-rich superfoods.
They have an intense, slightly bitter taste and are especially appreciated by those who make natural chocolates, energy bars, and raw desserts at home.
The recommended daily intake is about 40 g.

Key component characteristics:
Raw cacao beans (Theobroma cacao) are obtained after careful fermentation and drying, without heat processing above 45°C. This preserves high levels of polyphenols (catechins, epigallocatechin gallate, flavanols) known for their antioxidant properties.
Cacao is one of the richest plant sources of magnesium, iron, potassium, copper, and manganese. It also contains theobromine — a natural compound with mild stimulating effects, distinct from the intense effects of caffeine — as well as anandamide and phenylethylamine, known as "happiness hormones." The Peruvian origin is emphasized by Bio Planet — Peru is renowned for its quality cacao.
Ideal for: Enthusiasts of raw diets, vegans, organic food lovers, homemade chocolatiers, and anyone seeking a superfood with a rich nutritional profile. Recommended serving: about 40 g daily. The beans can be eaten whole as a light snack, crushed into smoothies and desserts, or ground into powder for homemade chocolate with cacao butter. Gluten-free, no added sugar, vegan.
