Organic Ceremonial Cocoa Paste Criollo (RAW)
\n<\/strong>Criollo cocoa (Theobroma cacao ssp. cacao) was cultivated by the Mayans more than 1500 years ago. Criollo cocoa was thought to have originated in Central America and to have developed independently of the cocoa populations in the Amazon basin. We should also be aware that the Mayans and Aztecs did not eat chocolate. The sugar needed to make chocolate did not exist in the Americas before the Spanish. The Maya, Aztecs and other peoples consumed drinks similar to tejate<\/em> or pozole<\/em>, which are still produced in Mexico and Central America.
\nThese ancient civilisations not only consumed cocoa as a beverage, but also considered it sacred, using it in rituals and ceremonies. The cocoa bean was so highly valued that it was used as currency and took a central place in cultural and spiritual practices. Today, the tradition of ceremonial cacao continues to flourish as people around the world rediscover its potential for emotional healing and spiritual connection.<\/p>\n

Features<\/em>
\nCeremonial cacao is often associated with emotional and spiritual heart-opening experiences.
\nCocoa beans contain compounds such as phenylethylamine (PEA), often referred to as the “love molecule” because it can stimulate the release of endorphins and dopamine in the brain, creating feelings of happiness, pleasure and even mild euphoria. This can contribute to a better mood and well-being.
\nPEA has a mild stimulant effect which may increase alertness, it may help improve concentration, and it will be useful for tasks that require mental clarity.
\nBecause of its role in promoting feelings of pleasure, PEA has been associated with aphrodisiac effects, enhancing romantic and sensual experiences.
\nCocoa is an excellent source of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium. High levels of potassium help to maintain proper blood pressure and muscle tone.<\/p>\n

Attention<\/em>
\nCeremonial cocoa naturally contains caffeine and theobromine. Although lower than coffee, those sensitive to caffeine may experience anxiety, nervousness or insomnia.
\nExcessive consumption of cocoa can cause digestive problems, including nausea or diarrhoea and headaches.
\nCeremonial cocoa may interact with certain medications, especially antidepressants, so be careful.<\/p>\n

Use<\/em>
\n30 g of cocoa per day is more than enough.
\nFor meditation, the average recommended dose is 22-30 g.
\nThe recommended amount for Ceremonial Cocoa is 40-50 g. Take the ceremonial doses no more than 3 times a week.
\nMore than 50 g per serving may be too much, especially for those who are just starting their cocoa journey. It is very important to start with a smaller amount and gradually increase to find the optimal dose, as individual reactions can vary greatly.
\nCeremonial cocoa is generally safe to consume during pregnancy, but large portions are not recommended. It is important to monitor your cocoa intake.<\/p>\n

Hot chocolate<\/em>
\nDissolve the cocoa pieces in a hot bath or blend them in a blender after finely chopping and adding warm (not boiling) water.
\nIt can be flavoured with coconut milk powder or vegetable milk – oat, almond, coconut milk.
\nSweeten with your favourite sweetener and experiment with spices – vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, cayenne pepper.<\/p>\n

Make chocolate at home<\/em>
\nMelt the cocoa mass in a hot bath with coconut milk powder or, say, nut butter (not water or vegetable milk) and pour into the moulds. Once cooled in the fridge, you can enjoy high-quality chocolate.
\nWhen combined, you will get an addition to your breakfast porridge, smoothie or salad.
