Not much of the amazing properties are left once it has been heat and chemical treated, mixed with refined sugar and oils into a chocolate bar. That is why I take raw fermented and low temp organic dried cacao powder and make my own raw chocolates. They are absolutely divine!! And they always make me feel good, unlike store bought chocolate which makes me feel icky.

Much like ALL other processed foods loaded with fillers and altered to be shelf stable, we must make our own from scratch to truly reap the benefits food has to offer us.

I'm now a KICK AS (and Kick IBD) success story!! After going low starch Paleo to heal my gut, I can now eat nearly all starches, grains & foods without inflammation, flare-ups, or pain. I used a modified SCD diet approach (minus dairy! plus cacao ♥). Cheers to healing & thriving again! I blog at http://www.forestandfauna.com/about/

Hi Betty, Sorry for the grave dig. Have you tested this Raw cacao with Iodine for starch? I'm trying to do LSD/NSD but my current diet is very repetitive and it would be nice to have safe "treat" foods. TIA smile

I tested pure cacao powder and cacao nibs with iodine, and it passed the test for me. But I have met some people in life who are intolerant of chocolate, so I can't make any guarantees how others will do with it. I drink pure cacao every day, it's loaded with magnesium, nice plant based source of iron, and it makes my body feel good. After I had to quit coffee, I found drinking cacao to be a much better fit for me.

Best!
Andrea
