Why i love the taste of dark chocolate for the holiday and the smell of coffee house? It is our favorite holiday/yule delight because Dark chocolate is great for calming troubled minds. I love dark chocolate when it is hot, sweet or laced with coconut. Raw Cacao in dark chocolate contains copper, manganese, zinc, sulphur, and is rich in B -vitamins that includes niacin.

Eating a delicious piece of chocolate may help reduce stress levels ; it works by stimulating  the production of endorphin that may give rise to a happy feeling.   Eating dark chocolate not only relaxes but also helps blood circulation thereby decreasing the risk posed by innumerable cardiovascular diseases.  It also boosts the functioning of endothelial cells which line the blood cells.
 The flavonoids called Catechins and Epicatechins found in raw cacao used in making Dark chocolate has been known to help boost the human body immune system thereby helping prevents chronic illness.
 The flavonoids compounds in dark chocolate or organic cocao nibs are helpful in treating anemic patients lacking dietary nutrients.
Dark chocolate is a potent source for antioxidant. The anti-oxidants present in dark chocolate helps fight against pre mature aging caused by free radicals. Its cocoa content, mineral sources and Gallic acid provide protection against LDL oxidation. Dark chocolate also contain serotonin which help relieve depression.

We recommend Organic Raw Chocolate because it is a healthy super-food that is full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Raw chocolate means that the cacao has not been heated or processed allowing it to preserve all of its rich nutrients. Organic chocolate means that there have been no chemicals, fillers, and preservatives used in the production of the chocolate.
Processed chocolate that includes dairy, sugar, and chemicals blocks the antioxidant and health benefits. Processed chocolate also contains fat, wax, fillers, and preservatives. But because there is no artificial sugar or any harmful fillers in this raw organic chocolate it is a great treat for children and for your immune.
