Cacao Beans: the Original Raw Chocolate Experience

<h1>Cacao Beans: the Original Raw Chocolate Experience</h1>Author: <a title="Michael Golzmane" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/michael-golzmane/155096.htm">Michael Golzmane</a> When you think of the most-eaten foods in the world, have you ever considered chocolate to be on that list?  It's actually in the top 15 most-eaten foods on the whole planet. At any given time on planet Earth, 1 in 10 people are eating chocolate. However, they're not eating REAL chocolate.  They're eating the by-product of some massive industry that includes mega-companies, board meetings, legislation, and many dubious business practices, contamination with heavy metals (like lead and cadmium), and often including forced slave labor on massive chocolate plantations in Africa and South America. In just the past few years, through the massive connecting power the world of the Internet gives us, we now have access to raw cacao and raw cacao beans, the original unprocessed, untampered-with chocolate that comes directly from the Earth. Chocolate comes from a nut often called the "cacao bean" (or sometimes called the "cocoa bean").  This is the nut of a fruit that grows on a tree--the chocolate tree--originally from the Amazon jungle. This raw chocolate nut is one of the highest vitamin C containing foods in the world.  All processed chocolate contains absolutely no vitamin C (as it's very heat-sensitive). Raw cacao, eaten as a whole bean with its wrapper-like skin still intact, is one of the highest vegetarian sources of iron in the world as well. And my favorite, raw cacao is considered by some to be Nature's Prozac (though I'm obviously making no medical claims here), as it is very effecting in improving and elevating mood, in my experience. Raw cacao beans are one of Nature's true superfoods and can be consumed daily out of the bag or blended into smoothies, moles, desserts, raw chilis, puddings, etc.  Raw chocolate is truly one of the great ways to eat your way into healing!About the Author: Michael Golzmane is a health educator and online writer about super health and super nutrition, especially through raw and living foods.
