About Cacao bean
Cacao beans are the seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree, native to Central and South America. Rich in antioxidants, cacao is celebrated for its role in chocolate production and its history as a staple in Aztec and Mayan diets. These beans are packed with nutrients, including magnesium, iron, flavonoids, and fiber. Cacao can support heart health, improve mood, and boost cognitive function thanks to compounds like theobromine and phenylethylamine. Consumed raw or minimally processed, it retains its health benefits, but it’s important to note that when cacao is turned into chocolate, added sugars and fats may reduce its nutritional value. Known for its bitter taste, cacao is often used in both sweet and savory recipes worldwide, from desserts to mole sauces. Moderation is key to reaping its benefits while avoiding excessive calorie or sugar intake in processed forms.
