Botanica Cacao Powder, 10 oz | Low Cadmium | Organic | Raw | Unsweetened | Vegan, Keto and Paleo Friendly

I’ve been looking for a Cacao power for awhile, that I could trust is low in heavy metals, and high in nutrition. Unlike some others, taste can take a back seat in my opinion, as long as it’s safe and rich in antioxidants. This product actually tastes good as well. I mix it in my coffee and full fat Greek yogurt.I hope other companies follow suit in their drive to provide a good cacao powder, that is low in heavy metals. People will pay a little extra for their health (within reason though, or else we’ll look elsewhere for our antioxidants). Kudos to Botanica for understanding their customer base. In doing so, they receive my money , and I will spread to others by word of mouth.

Love this cacao! It is also low in metals.

Top quality. Purely delicious!!!!! I highly recommend it!

I love this brand of cacao and I’m really sad that it’s no longer offered as it has all sold out. It’s the only cacao brand I can find that is low in heavy metals. The company needs to make more ASAP.

I was SO HAPPY to come across this brand during my extended search for organic Cacao powder WITHOUT the Prop 65 warning label! Because of the nature of the soil conditions where most Cacao trees are planted (in South America), Cacao powder is bound to have trace amounts of heavy metal residues, i.e. lead, Cadmium, etc.. Therefore, most companies have to put a Prop 65 warning label/disclaimer on the back of their packaging because the heavy metals found in the Cacao powder exceeds that of the established safety limits. Not to say that this brand is 100% free and clear of these heavy metals commonly found in Cacao trees, but at least the amounts are w/in the safety limits which means a whole world of difference to me since I consume this product quite often; and the thing with heavy metals is that they are extremely difficult to be excreted by our body and accumulate over time.In additions, the taste and aroma of this Cacao powder is heavenly! I have tried many organic Cacao powder and this is by far the best quality. Try it for yourself; I highly recommend this product!

Delicious

So from all that I have read this cacao powder is pretty good in terms of toxic substances and metals. It is tested quite a bit from what I understand. That part is probably the most important to me and flavor comes second unfortunately. As flavor goes it leaves me wanting for just a bit more. I use 2 tablespoons in one normal size smoothie and I have to say I wish it had a little bit more chocolate flavor. That being said I’m sure it’s fine and recipes but as far as adding it to a smoothie, I wish it had a little bit more of a dark chocolate flavor. Other than that I have no other issue with it.

Love it. A little goes a long way. Very happy that it does not contain any CA Prop 65 warnings.
