Your brain and your body will thank you for incorporating this superfood into your diet. Cacao, also a natural mood elevator and antidepressant, is your perfect addition to a mid-afternoon snack when productivity levels drop. Packing over 40x the antioxidants as blueberries, you can’t go wrong (or feel guilty). All it takes is the satisfaction from a couple tablespoons to stop you from reaching for the salty, sugary junk food at the office or at home. Cacao Powder Origins - Cacao, the pride of Mayans and Aztecs is a perennial crop eventually adapted in the Andean Mountains and the Amazon Basin. It’s often imported from South America, as our own supply comes from growers in Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. The cultivation of cacao in South America dates back over 5,000 years, but the care that goes into harvesting it has remained the same. The industry has enabled the development of major communities and towns by the Amazon riverbed—townships which have continued to be the main sources for generations.
