Our Raw Cacao powder is a must-have ingredient for Chocolate lovers! Unlike cocoa, raw cacao contains natural antioxidants, nutrients and essential fatty acids. It has the same great taste as cocoa and is used in exactly the same way – it is just better for you!
Raw cacao is more natural than cocoa. Regular cocoa is roasted, then put through a process called “alkalisation” (or “Dutching”) which changes its colour, flavour and acidity. We feel that this is unnecessary, and that raw cacao is much more delicious, as well as nutritious!

If the individual also feels like their budget is pushed to the limit, they may not feel encouraged to buy healthy food.
Healthy eating is absolutely possible at university. The sooner you establish your new routine, the easier it will be to stick to. Not only is healthy eating achievable, it is easy! Food is fuel for our body and what we put into our body affects everything that we do. Studying and socialising are both easier if we feel better in ourselves.
