Theobroma cacao and Ghana
Theobroma cacao is an accepted species of the Malvaceae. According to Plants of the World Online (POWO, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew), it is a tree of wet tropical habitats, native from Costa Rica to tropical South America; Ghana is among the territories where it has been introduced. The Ghana given on the label (“Made in Ghana”) is the country of the product, as stated by the supplier.
Powdered beans, natural cacao
“Powdered Beans” means cacao beans, that is seeds, reduced to powder: the material is already divided, unlike whole beans or a block. The supplier presents this powder as natural cacao that has not been alkalised. Alkalisation, also called the “Dutch process”, consists of subjecting the cacao to an alkaline solution, which lowers its natural acidity and darkens its colour; natural cacao is not subjected to it.
Pouch and photos
The photos show a kraft pouch whose label carries the Maya Superfoods logo, “Cacao”, Theobroma cacao, “Powdered Beans” and the “Made in Ghana” seal, then the reddish-brown powder in a terracotta bowl. Only the weight differs between the two sizes, 100 g and 1 kg.
Powder or block
This reference is a powder. Other references in the Ceremonial Cacao category come in other forms, such as the 5 kg criollo cacao block or the Putumayo raw cacao bar.
Preparing and enjoying
Ceremonial cacao is pure cacao paste: grate or chop it, then melt it in hot water or milk without letting it boil. Teas and leaves are infused as directed on the label.
Precautions
- Cacao contains theobromine and a little caffeine; guayusa, mate and guarana contain caffeine: keep to moderate amounts if you are pregnant, sensitive to caffeine or have a heart condition.
- Theobromine is toxic to dogs and cats: keep cacao out of their reach.
- If a blend contains other plants, read their product pages before use.
Storage
Keep cacao and teas dry, in a closed container, away from light, heat and strong odours.
