Tell me about cacao & carob

[kimmm]

I'm new into raw food and learning I can satisfy my need for chocolate with cacao and/or carob- can anyone tell me more about these products? Which is better? I've seen different variations of cacao- powder, nibs and etc... I need some info! Thanks!

Kimmm - If you do a forum SEARCH (top right of this page) there are many threads on Cacao!! Hope you find some helpful info in your search. :D

Thanks Green Woman! I'll try it! I also see cocoa being used in raw recipes- is cocoa naturally raw? I'm talking about the kind you find in the grocery store, like Hershey's for instance. Thanks for your help!

[Green_Woman]

Kimmm - NO, Hershey's is NOT Raw. If it's not labeled RAW, it's not raw. :) That goes for pretty much anything that's not produce... and with questionable items like Cashews, you might want to call the Company and find out for sure!
