Description
Organic Cacao Paste. Cacao, or Cocoa, is an evergreen tree, which grows naturally in tropical climates around the world. Its fruit, the cacao bean, is well-known as the basic ingredient in chocolate. It has for centuries been central to diets in its native areas. In recent times it has attracted attention because of its nutritional content. Sevenhills Wholefoods source their beans from South America, and only those of a premium variety. Its seed pods are harvested by hand. They are broken apart and left until the soft flesh surrounding the bean has fermented and run off as liquid. The fermentation process affects the taste of the beans, which lose some bitter flavours. The beans are washed, cleaned, dried, then peeled and broken into small pieces (nibs). These are then ground slowly until a smooth paste is formed. The paste is cooled into a mould, where it solidifies. Recommended use: great as a snack, or use as a healthy replacement for normal chocolate in baking recipes. Why buy from Sevenhills Wholefoods?
