The Nutrition of Raw Wild Jungle Cacao
Contrary to popular opinion, wild jungle cacao contains very little, if any, caffeine. It has been clinically demonstrated that cacao does not elevate blood sugar. Raw jungle grown cacao is also a highly effective natural energy enhancer.
The Three Major Species of Cacao
There are three major species of Theobroma Cacao currently in wide cultivation around the world.
Heirloom Criollo is the most highly prized, as this variety is very rare, comprising less than 1% of the worldwide cacao market. Many internet sites and chocolate companies brag about their Criollo cacao beans, when in reality, they have Forastero varieties.
