Black Velvet Raw Chocolate Superfood Recipe
Dark Chocolate is a SuperFood. Loaded with powerful antioxidants and minerals, chocolate is heart-healthy, can lower blood-pressure and increase circulation, has been shown to reduce inflammation, and may improve cognitive function.
Commercial chocolate is made by roasting raw cacao beans and combining them with cocoa butter, sugar and often, milk. The high heat processing minimizes the powerful benefits in raw, unprocessed cacao.
