Key features & specs

How it compares

Navitas Organics Cacao Powder differs from standard Dutch-processed cocoa powder because it is never alkalized, maintaining its high magnesium and iron content. While standard cocoa is roasted at high temperatures which can destroy delicate nutrients, Navitas ensures their cacao remains 'raw' to protect the flavanols. Compared to other fair-trade brands, Navitas offers a more consistent fine-milled texture that dissolves easily in liquids.

How to use it

1. Whisk two tablespoons into hot almond milk for a healthy, antioxidant-rich hot chocolate.
2. Blend into morning protein shakes to mask earthy flavors with a rich chocolate note.
3. Substitute 1:1 for cocoa powder in brownie or cake recipes for a deeper, darker flavor.
4. Springle over fresh fruit or chia seed pudding for added crunch and nutrition.
5. Mix with nut butter and maple syrup to create homemade vegan energy bites.
