oooooooooooooooooo what a good find!
I had been researching this and decided to give it a try.

Years ago I sold tropical fruit trees including cacao (Theobrama) and I noticed a lot of people throughout the US purchased these to grow in greenhouses. They are subtropical understory plants/trees so not so easy to grow. Anyhow there were discussions about the properties of raw cacao and almost everyone has heard this about chocolate, however once heated many of the properties disappear.
So I ordered a few pounds. It arrived and I ate a handful. It takes more like eating coffee beans with a hint of coco. About 20 min later I had this wonderful calm come over me and I felt it in my whole body. The rest of the day i had no food craves and did not feel very hungry at all. I'm in love with this stuff! BUT I don't like eating it. So today I ground it up fine, made toast, put extra virgin coconut oil (another great oil for weight loss and nutrition) and added thr ground cacao to the top. It was very good.
Between juicing and finding this I'm feeling pretty damn good!
