Goodyfull Organic Raw Cacao Powder

Goodyfull is the brainchild of Lex, a marketing professional, inspired by his personal experience of better nutrition and exercise, whilst balancing his busy day to day life.   Goodyfull currently sell three organic nutrient rich products, chia seeds, coconut flour and raw cacao powder, which is the product I will be reviewing.

For their customers convenience, they supply the products via a subscription service, so you choose your favourite, how often and how much you need and they deliver.   You only get charged when the products are shipped and they even send you a reminder, to check if you are ready for your next delivery and if not you can delay shipment.   The cacao powder is supplied in a 100% recyclable, resealable bag and is best stored in a cool dark place.

The product originates from South America and the Theobroma Cacao tree, sacred to the Aztecs and Mayans.   The beans contain more antioxidants than red wine and three times more than green tea.   The production process preserves a significant proportion of the nutritional value of the beans, which includes calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron, so the resulting cacao powder, packs a punch in the goodness department.

This is the first time I have seen or used raw cacao powder and was surprised at its light caramel colour, compared to a well known organic cocoa powder I currently use.   But as the saying goes, its all in the taste.

I recently made a raw brownie recipe, by Anna Jones from her book A Modern Way To Eat, with my usual cocoa powder, but she recommends raw cacao.   Today I made a fresh batch, using Goodyfull raw cacao and I understand Anna's recommendation, it has a more intense chocolate flavour, but is refined, smooth and rich, definitely a big improvement on my first batch.   

This is a quality product and although more expensive than my usual cocoa powder, a little goes along way, so you use less without detracting from the flavour and will be my product of choice in future.
