Review: Rich, Authentic Cacao Flavor—Perfect for Smoothies and Healthy Recipes - I bought this organic cacao powder because I've been trying to incorporate more wholesome, nutrient-rich ingredients into my daily diet, and it has quickly become one of my favorites. The first thing I noticed was the flavor. It has a rich, deep, authentic cacao taste that's much more intense than regular cocoa powder. Since it's unsweetened, you get the pure flavor of cacao without any artificial sweetness or aftertaste. I mainly use it as a supplement in my daily smoothies, but it's also fantastic in oatmeal, yogurt, healthy desserts, and homemade baking. It blends smoothly and gives everything a delicious chocolate flavor without overpowering the other ingredients. I also appreciate that it's organic, non-GMO, and made with simple ingredients. The bag lasts a long time, especially since you don't need a large amount to get great flavor. If you're looking for a high-quality cacao powder with a rich, authentic taste for smoothies, baking, or healthy recipes, I definitely recommend this one. I'll absolutely keep buying it.
Review: Rich, smooth, and clean organic cacao, i.e. natural chocolate for daily use - I’ve used a lot of cacao powders. Cacao is one of the highest plant-based sources of magnesium. This one stands out for its smooth flavor and fine texture. It's not as dark as some, but it blends well in everything from protein shakes to homemade hot chocolate without clumping or leaving gritty bits. I use cacao in my coffee every morning and so does everyone in my household. The taste is bold and deep but not bitter, which is great when I want to skip added sugar. I also use it for baking, and it’s been perfect for organic muffins, brownies, chocolate yogurt frozen treats, and even homemade granola bars. This large bag lasts a long time. We usually go through 3 cacao powder bags this size a month, though. LOL. Price-wise, it is a less than the other's we get. So if you want a budget-friendly option - this would be it. It’s certified organic, which is a must for me, and the quality is consistent with each scoop. Note: I haven't delved into all the sourcing data for certification copies like I have with others. Pros: Smooth, bold flavor Organic and gluten-free Versatile in both drinks and baking Tip: Try mixing a tablespoon with farm fresh organic goat's milk, local raw honey, and a mixture of nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and clove for a quick healthy treat with an autumn/winter vibe.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Just got 2nd bag.  now i see a warning on the bag about cadmium.the company needs to address this concern immediately. what are the facts?**
A: Our Organic Cacao is non alkalized.  The cacao powder contains cadmium. The cadmium is a naturally occurring metal that is found in the soil. The label on the back of Cacao bag is due to Prop 65 that is a California exclusive. Our products are well below the standards for the FDA.  It is safe to consume but we are required to put the warning, please visit https://www.betterbodyfoods.com/prop-65-warning-betterbody-foods-product/ for more information.

**Q: What is the level of heavy metals in this product?**
A: USA Today has an article dated 1/6/2023 that states that Trader Joe's is being sued. The suit alleges that the company misled consumers by failing to disclose on packaging that the select dark chocolate products contain lead and cadmium.

**Q: Is this Fair Trade certified? Thanks.**
A: Pulled  the pack and there is No fair trade certification

**Q: Any heavy metals in it?**
A: All cacao has cadmium in it. It is absorbed from the soil, even if it is farmed organically, due to natural cadmium content in the soil. The only question is how much cadmium is in the particular brand, not whether it has any. They ALL do, and there is no way around it, since it is not due to methods of farming or pesticide usage, and there is no way for cadmium to be removed from the beans once they are harvested either. What the fear-mongers doen't tell you is that cadmium is narurally present in practically everything you eat - , including fish, meat, grains, fruits, and vegetables - foods consumed daily, in larger quantities, and that are more affected by cadmium contamination than chocolate is,. According to experts who have studied this issue, the worst brands for cadmium in cocoa average 1 microgram per gram of cocoa powder. While this does exceed the WHO's recommendation to stay under 0.3 micrograms, you could safely have 5 tablespoons of pure cocoa powder every day before the trace levels of cadmium become an issue.
