The cacao tree is native to the Amazon Basin. It was domesticated by the Olmecs in what today is Mexico. It was used as medicine, in religious ceremonies and even as a currency by many prehispanic cultures. Greetings from Mexico, PS I'm a huge Dr. K fan 🙂💚

Very important to note that the fat is processed out of cocoa and to what benefit is debatable. Also, cocoa, as opposed to cacao, is very high in toxic acrylamide.

I use organic cacao powder and put it in my breakfast porridge once a week. I know it has beneficial properties so I have it in the unsweetened form. If not I am not too much a fan of chocolate.

When I make peanut butter balls (protein balls minus the protein powder: oatmeal, ground flax, chia, nuts, coconut, dried fruits, maybe a little honey or maple syrup or not) I've started rolling them in unsweetened cocoa powder.

TLDR if you don't want to listen to the "doctor" who loves his own voice: - Cocoa is cacao that has been processed. - Cacao is healthier, but more bitter.

Cacao is in fact a Mesoamerican fruit. Grown globally now. But it was originally used as a ceremonial drink.

@Indrid Cold these people are naive, do they realise how much magnesium is in cacao??! I add it to my oatmeal too. I add 10 grams and that gives me 45mg magnesium. Very good for the heart. I also add coconut sugar 2 tsp. I’m not doing Keto so it’s fine but I never eat wheat products or rice, and never refined sugars. Only potato’s and veggies for carbs, in moderation. And yea you could argue that coconut sugar is bad but hey its one of the lowest glycemic fruit sugars even below agave. And that’s the only time I have it is with my choccy porridge at night 😊 People don’t realise eating a tiny amount of “happiness” foods a day, (all be it the right ones), is actually critical for our mental state which helps our parasympathetic and nervous system keep calm. No healing will take place no matter what foods you eat if your mind isn’t right and your in a constant state of stress, because your adrenals will keep pumping out adrenaline and cortisol. Bad very bad. Take it easy and stay happy :)

Not sure this guy is all that well informed. Not all the beneficial? Not at all what I’ve heard elsewhere from technical experts in the field to real Heath professionals.
