Harvesting

Organic cacao powder is made from the seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree, commonly grown in tropical regions like South America, Africa, and Asia. The cacao pods are harvested biannually, typically in spring and autumn, when ripe. The seeds are extracted, fermented to develop their complex flavours, and then dried and roasted to bring out their deep, earthy aroma and enhance their natural bitterness.

After roasting, the seeds are ground into a fine, dark brown powder. Organic cacao powder is packed with antioxidants, fibre, and essential minerals such as magnesium and iron, making it a nutrient-rich superfood. Free from synthetic additives, it’s a versatile ingredient in baking, smoothies, and hot drinks, offering a delicious way to enjoy its health benefits while adding rich flavour to your favourite recipes.

The organic nature of Organic Cacao Powder means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

The History of Organic Cacao Powder

Organic cacao powder has a rich and fascinating history dating back to ancient Mesoamerican civilisations. The Mayans and Aztecs revered cacao as a sacred and luxurious ingredient, using it in ceremonial rituals and as a form of currency. When the Spanish conquistadors brought cacao back to Europe in the 16th century, it quickly gained popularity as a prized delicacy among the aristocracy. Over time, cacao evolved into the beloved ingredient we know today, celebrated for its rich, complex flavour and numerous health benefits. Its heritage as a symbol of indulgence and vitality continues to captivate consumers worldwide.
