Botanica Cacao Powder, 24 oz | Low Cadmium | Organic | Raw | Unsweetened | Vegan, Keto and Paleo Friendly

I love this brand of cacao and I’m really sad that it’s no longer offered as it has all sold out. It’s the only cacao brand I can find that is low in heavy metals. The company needs to make more ASAP.

I’ve been looking for a Cacao power for awhile, that I could trust is low in heavy metals, and high in nutrition. Unlike some others, taste can take a back seat in my opinion, as long as it’s safe and rich in antioxidants. This product actually tastes good as well. I mix it in my coffee and full fat Greek yogurt.I hope other companies follow suit in their drive to provide a good cacao powder, that is low in heavy metals. People will pay a little extra for their health (within reason though, or else we’ll look elsewhere for our antioxidants). Kudos to Botanica for understanding their customer base. In doing so, they receive my money , and I will spread to others by word of mouth.

I am happy. I wanted unprocessed cacao and this works great.

Top quality. Purely delicious!!!!! I highly recommend it!

The package is mesmerizing; it is very attractive in-person -- BUT getting to the contents of this beautiful package: yes, the taste is good and chocolaty; it has a very pleasant chocolate taste. I found the ++ with this product to be that the Seller provides that care is taken in harvesting this cocoa for consumption: “[Grown] organically under an agroforestry system in non-volcanic soil….[yielding a product with] low traces of Cadmium and other heavy metals…” Moderation is always best, but I do drink (and eat) a lot of chocolate and knowing this about this product is, just a bit, reassuring. Also, it is an “organic raw” cacao powder that provides all the benefits that go along with such limited-to-non-processed foods. I put a tablespoon in my cup of brewed cocoa, with a splash of agave and cream, also adding a tablespoon of MCT oil, and the energy I get from this morning drink has been unbelievable (my experience) – not to mention the satisfying Choooooo-OH-livid taste sensation!

I was so happy to come across this product! I had been looking to minimize heavy metals in our food and was thankful to find this low cadmium cocoa powder! It has an amazing flavor. We used it in our no bake cookies and the richness is unreal! We will continue to buy as we need to!

Please improve the reseal/closure mechanism of this package so that this package retains the freshness of this cacao powder once it has been opened. Once this closure mechanism is used a few times, then it no longer functions properly. Also, from my research, this cacao powder has the lowest amount of cadmium and/or other heavy metals, which I appreciate very much. If anyone has found a cacao powder with lower cadmium and/or other heavy metal content, please advise me.

I tried this product because on Consumer Labs they mentioned that this brand has less cadmium in it - which is pretty important. It's not grown on volcanic soil and that's why. So I smelled tested my usual brand and this brand - this brand does have a different, richer smell. I used a tablespoon of it in my coffee and it was delightful! Very happy with this purchase and I feel better knowing my cadmium levels won't be going up significantly while I enjoy it. Highly recommend!
