LJUBAVNI KAKAO: ORGANSKI KAKAO U TABLI (100g)

Kakao brings natural stress relief because it contains potassium, phosphorus, copper, iron, zinc, and magnesium which contribute to cardiovascular health. Cacao has the ability to trigger the release of dopamine and the endorphin; phenylethylamine, both of which soothe the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and depression. Scientific research now confirms that chocolate helps to relieve emotional stress.

Most importantly, it contains anandamide, the bliss molecule. Anandamide is an endogenous ligand that your body produces when you feel a workout “high.” It is a natural pleasure molecule that fits into the cannabinoid receptor sites of the cells of the nervous system.

Ljubavni kakao je organski kakao kojem ništa nije dodato i ništa nije oduzeto. Naš strpljiv način proizvodnje čuva sve esencijalno u njemu, ostaje samo termicki ne obradjen sirov kakao. Na zalost, industrijski kakao prolazi kroz agresivnu obradu koja uništava sastojke koje čine esenciju kakaa i vecina ljudi nikad ni ne upozna kakao biljku.

Cocoa solids also contain 230 mg of caffeine and 2057 mg of theobromine per 100g, which are mostly absent from the other components of the cocoa bean.

MEĐU NAJBOLJIM I NAJREDJIM KAKOAIMA NA SVETU

Dok ogromne korporacije proizvedu milione tona Forastera (jeftini, industrijski kakao koji čini 93.5% svjetske proizvodnje), u džunglama Perua se dešava nešto sasvim suprotno. Criollo kakao je prvi domestifikovani kakao na planeti a danas izumire zato što je uzgajanje teško, skupo i nesplatljivo industrijskoj proizvodnji.

Historically, cacao has always been considered a very powerful aphrodisiac, exotic food, and medicine, by the Mesoamerican and South American cultures, such as the Mayans, Aztecs and Spanish conquistadors. Its Greek name Theobroma Cacao literally means ‘Food of the Gods, Thea (god), Broma (food), with the Maya word Ka’kau.’

Benefits are found in the neurotransmitter-modulating agents that act as natural antidepressants. Its high valeric acid content blocks the stress hormones while triggering the release of dopamine, anandamide and the endorphin phenylethylamine, all of which are known as the ‘bliss molecules. Cacao also contains the essential amino acid tryptophan, which increases the production of serotonin, an important brain chemical that helps us remain positive and happy. These neurotransmitters also remain in the bloodstream longer after ingesting cacao, creating a natural antidepressant benefit, while the theobromine and caffeine content boosts energy levels and relieves fatigue.

Chocolate! who would have thought this humble confectionery is such a powerful medicine in its natural form? It’s time to share the love!

“Chocolate is a divine, celestial drink, the sweat of the stars, the vital seed, divine nectar, the drink of the gods, panacea, and universal medicine.”
