What is it?
Loving Earth’s Chocolate is made by us with Raw Cacao from bean to bar here in Melbourne. This means that our chocolate has up to twice as many antioxidants as conventional chocolate. We use Organic Evaporated Coconut Nectar (a natural, low GI sweetener) instead of cane sugar to create this delicious chocolate bar.
Our Raw Dark Chocolate has a nice clean snap, a smooth texture and a beautifully complex flavour. The Evaporated Coconut Nectar gives the flavour a wonderful depth with toffee citrusy notes, in addition to making the bar extremely healthy. Enjoy all the powerful antioxidants of the Cacao with the low GI mineral rich sweetness of the Coconut Sugar!
Please Note: During the warmer months our chocolate can sometimes melt in transit. Please click here for more info on how to best avoid this when ordering and storing your chocolate.
How to use:
Eat a square or two for a delicious, energising snack. Even better when shared with someone you love!
Our chocolate is best enjoyed chilled. For best results store in a cool dark place below temperatures of 20 degrees – preferably refrigerated.
Our Coconut Sugar Chocolate also makes an an excellent couverture chocolate: perfect for dipping, coating, molding and garnishing.
Health Benefits:
ANTIOXIDANTS
Raw Cacao beans contain 10 grams of flavonol antioxidants per 100 grams, which is an incredible 10%. Research has also demonstrated that the antioxidants in cacao are highly stable and easily available to human metabolism. In the adjacent table you can see that our Loving Earth Raw Chocolate has more antioxidants than Goji Berries and Acai Berries. The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale was developed by the United States Department of Agriculture to measure the ability of antioxidants to absorb free radicals, which normally cause cell and tissue damage. The higher the ORAC score, the higher the level of antioxidants present in the food.
We have all experienced the positive feelings associated with eating chocolate, now we have access to pure raw unadulterated chocolate in the form of Organic Raw Cacao. This is much more potent than the processed chocolate and doesn’t have any sugar or dairy products blocking the positive effects of all the goodies in Raw Cacao. My experience is that eating 11 Raw Cacao Beans is enough to experience a blissful sense of well being.
Packaging:
Every Loving Earth chocolate bar comes to you in a plant-based inner wrapper to max imise freshness and extend shelf life. These wrappers are not made of plastic and are compostable.
The boxes which contain our wrapped chocolate bars are made from 80% recycled post consumer card board and are printed with vegetable inks.
