Raw Cacao: Flavor of the Month
There’s an excellent post over at Raw Epicurean about our favorite subject, raw cacao. It’s a very straightforward introduction to cacao, where it comes from, how it’s processed and what it tastes like. It also provides an overview of the nutritional value of cacao, without getting too scientific on us.
Even more exciting, they have a contest going on this month where you can win cacao products, so check it out!
She also provides this great recipe for chocolate sauce:
Chocolate Sauce
Make this sauce ahead; keep refrigerated up to two weeks.
1/2 cup cacao nibs powder
1/2 cup agave, or sweetener of choice [adjust amount as needed]
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoons organic vanilla extract
Blend all ingredients together in a food processor until smooth.
Makes 3/4 cups
