NUTRITONAL INFORMATION
Below is the standard nutritional information for roasted cacao paste (“ceremonial cacao”). As this product is essentially a plant, more specifically, it is a seed; and it is simply 100% pure, whole-bean cacao, (i.e. one ingredient), as with any other fruit or vegetable, the nutritional information varies from season to season, batch to batch, variety to variety.
The below table provides a guide only.
A note on the serving size: 10g is the standard minimum serving size for ceremonial cacao. However, we strongly recommend a dose of at least 20g to obtain the benefits both in terms of nutrition, and in terms of texture and taste.
This table by no means reflects the chemical complexity of our beloved super-duper food. Head on over to our Cacao Benefits page to read more, or browse the journal articles below the table.
