Looking for one of the tastiest and best superfoods? Look no further than cocoa beans and cocoa powder. Cocoa comes from the cacao bean, yet is processed a little differently and therefore has some different health effects. Both cacao and cocoa are rich in polyphenols, which have been linked to health benefits such as reduced inflammation, better blood flow and blood sugar levels. Cocoa powder is extremely popular and is commonly used in dessert recipes. One of the benefits of cocoa powder is that it is more widely available and cheaper than raw cacao. The thing to look out for when shopping for cocoa products and cocoa powder is added sugars or other sweeteners. Many commercial cocoa powder products contain added chemicals that aren’t good for you, so it’s important to stick to plain cocoa powder.
At Healthy Being, we make shopping for organic and natural cocoa powder and cocoa beans easy. Not to mention we offer free shipping Australia wide on orders over $99. Shop our range of cocoa beans, cocoa powder and other cocoa products today.
