Raw cacao beans – Organic, 600 g
The raw cacao beans from Bio Planet Superfoods are certified organic beans from the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao), originating from Peru. They are processed at low temperatures to preserve the maximum amount of nutrients. This "raw" processing sets them apart from typical cocoa, which is usually roasted at high temperatures, thus retaining natural minerals, antioxidants, and flavonoids that make cocoa so beneficial.
The beans have a characteristic, rich, and slightly tangy flavor, forming the base of an authentic chocolate aroma. Their nutritional profile is impressive: per 100 g, they contain 46 g of fats (mainly cocoa butter), 17 g of dietary fiber, 12 g of protein, and a large amount of minerals – 164% of the daily reference intake (DRI) for iron and 98% of the DRI for calcium. The recommended daily portion is approximately 40 g.
Since the body receives sufficient iron and calcium from natural sources, feelings of vitality and energy improve significantly.
- Excellent source of iron – 23 mg per 100 g (164% of DRI). Iron contributes to reducing fatigue and normal red blood cell production.
- Rich source of calcium – 781 mg per 100 g (98% of DRI). Calcium is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth.
- Supports normal muscle function due to high potassium content – 836 mg per 100 g (42% of DRI).
- High in dietary fiber – 17 g per 100 g, supporting normal bowel function.
- Offers plant-based fats in the form of cocoa butter.
- Suitable for vegans, gluten-free, and contains no added sugar.
Special characteristic features:
Raw cocoa beans are unique due to their iron content – 23 mg per 100 g, covering 164% of daily needs. For comparison, 100 g of spinach contains about 2.7 mg of iron.
