Cacao Powder
A best-seller, GY cacao powder is made from the highly prized Ecuadorian arriba Nacional bean (aka cacao arriba, or cacao Nacional). Arriba is a fine flavoured bean characterized by fruity and floral notes, and unique to Ecuador. Our cacao powder is certified organic, Rainforest Alliance certified, common allergen-free, non GMO, naturally vegan and delicious!
The beans are hand-selected, fermented and dried to perfection, then lightly roasted, crushed into nibs, the skins removed or 'winnowed' and ground into a liquid. The liquefied cacao mass is transferred to a mechanical press where the majority of cacao butter is removed. The remaining mass (‘cake’) is ground into a fine powder and packaged for your enjoyment. Our cacao is lab tested, clean and pure, is not “Dutch” processed nor alkalized in any way. Giddy Yo Cacao Powder is low temperature processed from start to finish to maximize quality and taste while maintaining nutritional integrity.
- Cacao may be naturally mood boosting.
- Cacao may be a natural energy enhancer, aphrodisiac and natural appetite suppressant.
- Cacao is a good source of magnesium and other plant derived nutrients.

Suggested use
An ideal addition to smoothies & hot beverages (coffee, chaga tea, elixirs, hot chocolate etc.). Use in your cooking (great in chili) and baking (brownies, cakes, cookies, etc.), and various other desserts. You'll definitely want to try making your own dark chocolate by adding GY cacao butter to the powder, and sweeten with honey or maple syrup (or not)- it’s easier than you may think!
