    Our Raw Dark Chocolate has a nice clean snap, a smooth texture and a beautifully complex flavour. The Evaporated Coconut Nectar gives the flavour a wonderful depth with toffee citrusy notes, in addition to making the bar extremely healthy. Enjoy all the powerful antioxidants of the Cacao with the low GI mineral rich sweetness of the Coconut Sugar!

    Signature dark chocolate 85% - It is for the purists, who like their chocolate pure and intensely dark, yet wonderfullly smooth. The cacao content is actually higher because the cacao is raw and unprocessed. Hence, richer in anti-oxidants than a conventionally processed 85% cacao content chocolate bar.

    Raw chocolate is a simple yet revolutionary approach to chocolate.
     
    What is it?
    Loving Earth chocolate is made with raw Cacao. This means our chocolate has up to twice as may antioxidants as conventional chocolate. We use organic evaporated coconut nectar (a natural, low GI sweetener) instead of cane sugar to create this delicious chocolate bar. It contains no cane sugar or dairy and is suitable for vegans.
    This raw dark chocolate has a nice clean snap and smooth texture and beautifully complex flavour.  The evaporated coconut nectar gives the flavour a wonderful depth with toffee citrusy notes while making the bar extremely healthy.  You are able to enjoy all the powerful antioxidants in the cacao with the low GI mineral rich sweetness of the coconut sugar.
    It is essentially uncooked, unprocessed chocolate in its pure rich essential form sweetened with our organic coconut sugar (a low GI sweetener). It is a wickedly decadent healthy treat. The cacao beans are not roasted and this means that their wealth of phytonutrients are fully intact. Our Raw chocolate has been independently tested by Southern Cross University to have up to 2 times the antioxidants of conventionally processed chocolate. (See comparison below)
     
    Fairtrade: The raw cacao from the premium Criollo cacao bean has been bought from the Satipo Cocoa Co-operative, Peru for more than 15% above the fairtrade price. Loving Earth also supports the Satipo Community by helping them add as much value as possible to raw materials at the point of origin.

    More on Raw Cacao:
    Antioxidants:
    Raw Cacao beans contain 10 grams of flavonol antioxidants per 100 grams, which is an incredible 10%. Research has also demonstrated that the antioxidants in cacao are highly stable and easily available to human metabolism. In the adjacent table you can see that raw cocoa powder has set the world record for antioxidants with nearly 4 times the amount of antioxidants as Goji Berries.
     
    The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale was developed by the United States Department of Agriculture to measure the ability of antioxidants to absorb free radicals, which normally cause cell and tissue damage. The higher the ORAC score, the higher the level of antioxidants present in the food.

    Magnesium for the Heart and Brain:
    Raw cacao is the primary dietary source of magnesium, the most deficient mineral in western civilisation. Magnesium is the most important mineral for a healthy functioning heart. It also plays a key role in producing energy for the neurons in the brain from glucose. So when there is an abundance of magnesium the brain works with clarity and focus.
     
    Mood elevators and Anti-depressants:
    Cacao is a great source of serotonin, dopamine, anandamide and phenylethylamine (PEA), four well-studied neurotransmitters, which are associated with feelings of well being and help alleviate depression. Both PEA and Anandamide (the bliss chemical) are found in abundance in the brains of happy people and are particularly released when we are feeling happy. Both of these nuerotransmitters are present in raw cacao in large enough quanitities to affect the brain and lift our moods. Cacao also contains monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO Inhibitors) that keep neurotransmitters in the bloodstream for longer without being broken down.
     
    We have all experienced the positive feelings associated with eating chocolate, now we have access to pure raw unadalterated chocolate in the form of organic raw cacao. This is much more potent than the processed chocolate and doesn't have any sugar or dairy products blocking the positive effects of all the goodies in raw cacao. My experience is that eating 11 raw cacao beans is enough to experience a blissful sense of well being.
