Cacao was referred to by the Aztecs and Mayans as Yollotl Eztli (heart blood) for its sensual love vibration. Whew! Is it getting hot in here?! The cacao bean not only opens your heart, it’s full of magnesium, iron, calcium, antioxidants, carbohydrates and heart-healthy fat and fibre. We are so thankful 2,000 years ago, the Aztecs and Mayans of Central America found a way to produce chocolate from the seeds of the cacao tree. Since then, this magic potion has inspired devotion around the world.

Fun Fact: Cacao pods are the fruit of the cacao tree and it takes a cacao tree five years to produce its first pods. Each tree produces around 1,000 beans a year, but that is only enough to make just 1 kilogram of chocolate. Every stage of cacao production is done by hand.
