500g of 'Special Grade' Tribal Ceremonial Cacao
 
We are so excited to announce the arrival of our very own Special Grade CACAO SHACK Ceremoinal Grade Cacao. We have tested many varietys of this beautiful plant medicine and for us, this was a clear winner.
 
This is a beautifully smooth Cacao and offers hints of a light nutty flavour/ This Cacao won our hearts to brand it as Cacao Shack's flagship Ceremonial Grade Cacao. 
 
This is a very special Cacao from the Ashaninka Tribes of Peru. Noy only does it taste amazing, but it is also great for journeying within. 
 
Not all cacao is ethically sourced, and one of the things we value about Cacao Shack is that from seed to ceremony, we work only with suppliers who are in direct contact with indigenous growers on family-owned plots of land. Our cacao is grown as part of a diverse forest ecosystem and the families our suppliers work, with are able to live entirely from their forests in the Central Highlands of Peru. For these growers, our purchases contribute towards a truly regenerative economy: sharing profits, harvests, and economic gain with those in the community.
 
You won't know until you give it a go, but we are highly confident that you will love it!
 
You can even use the same recipes which we have put on our website, or if your feeling creative, make your own special blend.

Hers just a little bit about cacao...
 
"Ceremonial Cacao will hve made a huge imnpact on the coffee industry by 2032!" - Keith The Chocolate Shaman
 
Here's why...
Ceremonial Cacao is a great social activity. Before his death, it was prophasized by the Chocolate Shaman Kieth, that in 2032 Caoao will become more popular than coffee when people realise the health benefits that come with this social drink.
 
CACAO IS A SUPERFOOD boasting many minerals and nutrients that many of us are highly deficient in today. Including, magnesium, Iron, copper, zinc, sulphur, phosphorus, anandamide, chromium, manganese, and many others, essential fats and more!
 
CACAO HAS HUGE ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES 
It has been reported that Ceremonial Grade Cacao has up to 67% more antioxidants than a Blueberries and Goji Berries combined!
 
CACAO & BRAIN
THE CACAO BEAN HAS A PROFOUND AND COMPLEX AFFECT ON US.
 
RICH SOUCRE OF FLAVONOIDS 
Flavanoids are powerful antioxidants. They have a profound impact on the brains health and function. Through the blood stream and cross the blood brain barrier it reaches different regions of the brain.
 
ONE AREA OF THEY TARGET IS THE HIPPOCAMPUS,
The Hippocampus is a region of the brain that is involved in learning and memory. Here the flavonoids boost the number of neurons which is known as neurogenesis and they improve the neuro connections.
 
INCREASES THE NUMBER OF SEVERAL NEURO TRANSMITTERS.
Phenylethylamine, increases endorphins and other mood enhancing compounds and is the same chemical that is produced when you fall in love.
 
CACAO IS A NATURAL ANTI-DEPRESSANT 
Ceremonial Grade cacao activates serotonin within the brain and raises our mood into a more positive and relaxed one. Anything that lifts and raises our mood would certainly be considered a positive move against low mood and depression.
 
CONTAINS ANANDAMIDE 
Often referred to as the ‘Bliss Molecule’. Anandamide is a neurotransmitter and an Endocannabinoid that brings about feelings of euphoria. It’s is also known as the neurotransmitter that produces the “Runners High” So cacao can lift your spirit on a sad or gloomy day.
 
CACAO WORKS ON THE CARDIO VASCULAR SYSTEM 
Coffee contains a stimulant called Caffeine, and it works through stimulating the Central Nervous System. Caffiene is an addictive substance (ou only need to stop drinking tea and coffee to see the proof of this). We should not be messing around with our Central Nervous System. This is why, after we have caffiene in our systems, we can feel jitery and have the sudden highs and and lows that caffiene produces.
Instead, Cacao contains something called Theabromine, and this stimulant works on the cardio vascular system. This is good for us as it increases blood flow from the heart to the brain. Theobromine is not addictive substance. Therefore, we can take it or leave it. Just one cup per day is enough. Theobromine offer a gentle lift and a gentle landing once it's out of the system. 
 
CACAO ALSO HAS AN IMPACT ON OUR BRAINS BLOOD FLOW. 
The flavonoids in cacao have vasodilatory effects which means they widen the bloods vessels. Allowing for oxygen and more blood to reach the brain. This blood flow can improve cognitive function, attention and overall brain health.
 
CACAO OFFERS A SYMPHONY OF BENEFICIAL OUTCOMES. Not only is this beneficial for physical health but it can have incredible spiritual and emotional benefits for human beings.
 
CACAO IS KNOWN AS THE FOOD THAT NOURISHES THE SOUL 
AND THE SPIRIT BY THE MAYA NATIONS. 
The Maya have used cacao as a tool over thousands of years for conflict resolution. They found out that after drinking cacao and the effects on the brain, one could enter into a state of empathy, gratitude and joy. Meaning this made it easier to face a difficult situation or conversation.
 
CACAO MAKES US EVEN MORE AWARE AND ALERRT THE THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND US. 
It makes us more conscious of how we approach our day and it creates a state of mindfulness. Not to mention is also boost energy. Preparing us for starting the day in a state of productivity.
 
CACAO SUPPRESSES APPETITE 
Anatural appetite supressent means it’s excellent for weight loss. 30g in the morning would not only fill your body with energy, nutrients and minerals but also means food and breakfast time is not necessary. If your body is getting enough nutrients it will not want more food.
