Let’s talk about chocolate and mushrooms. Sound random? Maybe. Worth knowing about? Absolutely! The base of chocolate is full of nutrients in its purest form of cacao and mushrooms have always been known as a healthy vegetable. When both of these superfoods are combined, you have a powerhouse of benefits for the body. Our MegaPlants “Five Mushroom Cacao Magic” is a nootropic and organic blend of functional mushrooms with organic cacao for optimal brain and body performance.
What’s not to love about chocolate? It’s delicious and comforting, but can lack nutritional value with the addition of sugar or highly processed ingredients. A healthy chocolate alternative is cacao. You might be wondering, what is cacao? Enter the cacao bean, the root and raw form of chocolate that comes from a tree native in Central and South America. Full of antioxidants, cacao beans can be turned into products such as solid chocolate, spreads, cocoa powders and cacao nibs. This is the crucial part where the nutritional benefits of cacao can be preserved or lost depending on what additives are used.
Cacao is a superfood on its own with amazing health benefits due to its dense amounts of antioxidants, calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium and copper. It has more antioxidants per gram than fruits like goji berries, pomegranates and blueberries! An easy way to consume all of these nutrients is through cacao powder – easy to digest and mix into almost anything. You may be familiar with cocoa powder, but it is not the same.
