Cacao Powder Raw Unsweetened Natural - 2 LB Nourishing Superfood, Guilt Less Chocolate Indulgence, Enhance smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods and other healthy treats. By The Cocoa Trader

Received this the other day. Used it in some hemp milk, and it tasted delicious....my only gripe is that it came in a package that has minimal nutritional facts on it...just basic information. It has the USDA certified organic stamp on it, but the label itself was created by someone and printed out, so I'm not sure if this information is accurate. It looks professional, and I'm sure (or I hope) this is a legit business, Silk Road, LLC...but the lack of information from where this cacao powder comes from....what's in it...concerns me. The description on Amazon sounds nice, but doesn't seem to satisfy me. I bought this because it was a lot for a little and it had great reviews...but I don't think I'll buy again, just because of the lack of information--especially with recent reports of many popular cacao powders testing high in lead and cadmium. Tasted great though.

This cacao is certainly one of the best priced I've found. I've tried several kinds as the brands carried here seem to change sizes or disappear altogether.As for quality... So far I've make chocolate syrup and a chocolate cake with chocolate icing with this product. YUM! The cake came out very dark (almost black) and flavor is very deep and satisfying. Common store brands of cocoa powder cannot even begin to reach the dizzying heights of flavor that I got here.UPDATE!!!I just noticed a green paper sticker covering up the USDA Organic logo on the label. I'd like to know what gives with that. The product is clearly still yummy, but is it organic or not? Many reviewers seem to be under the impression that this is organic. I thought I was buying organic, but now notice that the word isn't even in the product description. Something is amiss, just sayin'.As a card carrying Chocoholic, I can heartily recommend this to anyone who's serious about their chocolate. I compared it side by side with the last brand I purchased and found this to be superior. (Though in all fairness I don't meet much raw cacao that I don't, at least, like). This will be my next cacao purchase assuming Amazon continues to carry it.

The cocoa is fine, but the taste is not a complex or flavorful as other organic brands I have tried on Amazon

Fully satisfactory, though not as pictured (as some others have said). But it does say "organic" on it, with no other ingredients. It's some of the better cocoa powder we've ever had. Would purchase again

This stuff tastes great in my smoothies. I guess we have to trust the manufacturer that it is organic and raw. Some people question this, but I don't know why.

My absolute favorite raw cacao powder, and I've tried many! Smooth, not at all gritty, and so rich you don't need to use much to get that chocolate flavor. The people we've served it to have raved about it, one recently saying that chocolate has always given her a headache and kept her up at night, but she had none of those side effects with this chocolate.One great way to use it is blending it with frozen bananas, a bit of dried peppermint (optional), and a small amount of water: soft serve ice cream without the sugar. So good.

I like the taste, but it doesn't taste or smell like raw cacao to me. It seems more like baking cocoa powder. Packaging lacks detail.

We mix our own raw cookie paste using this cacao with raw honey, coconut oil, and nut butter, with ginger and spices. It forms well into a cold drop cookie in the refrigerator. Two cookies give the serving of healthy fats, turmeric, ginger, and honey, with a protein boost from the nuts, which we need everyday. (See David Wolfe and Raw Vegan cookbooks..) If you are allergic to nuts, the coconut oil has great properties and will hold the cookie dough together as it solidifies in cold temperatures. Without the nut content, you will have a Ganache style cookie.
