About

Satisfy chocolate cravings with a healthier option Healthworks Cacao Powder. Our Cacao is pure, organic, and tasty too! Packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, cacao powder has an earthy bitter-toned taste - think dark chocolate but healthier.

We source our Cacao Powder from small, organic farms in Peru, where the cacao beans are hand harvested, dried, and carefully milled into fine powder. This process retains the cacao's authentic, rich flavor and high nutritional value.

Try our cacao powder in smoothies, granola bars, baked goods (like brownies and fudge), sprinkled on fruit, or in desserts (like pudding and ice cream).
