David Wolfe Cacao Beans

A few years ago, when David Wolfe discovered raw cacao beans (sometimes called "cocoa beans"), the world changed. Up until that time, the raw chocolate nut from which all chocolate is made (raw cacao IS raw chocolate) was almost totally unknown to North America. You couldn't buy this food anywhere--internet included--so rare it was.

Keep in mind, however, that chocolate is one of the 15 most eaten foods in the entire world. Most people though are not eating the real raw chocolate. They are eating a by-product of a mega-industry that highly processed this original cacao bean into the cooked processed bar form most of us know.

However, David Wolfe discovered that there are many many benefits to eating the original cacao bean in its original form:

  • All of the highly-medicinal oils are retained in their original forms.
  • Raw Chocolate nuts are some of the highest vitamin C containing foods in the world. All vitamin C is lost when the chocolate is cooked and processed into bars.
  • When the whole cacao bean is eaten with the skin still on, the raw chocolate is one of the highest iron containing foods in the world as well.
  • Raw Chocolate is one of nature's premier "feel good" foods, helping to improve the chemistry of your brain.

In my experience, having tried many of the raw chocolate products on the market today, including Navitas (very popular in health-food stores), the David Wolfe Cacao Beans are simply the highest quality, retaining a clear crisp cacao bean skin (without discoloration), a wonderful simple chocolate flavor, and a great crunch.

I eat a few (5-10) of these raw cacao beans everyday, without processing them even into a smoothie, since they are incredibly healing and nourishing plain (or simply dipped into some honey or agave nectar).

Why "Raw" Chocolate?


David Wolfe and his company Sunfood Nutrition have been one of the first to introduce raw organic chocolate (also called "cacao") to the US market and the world market. But what is so significant about the chocolate being raw, as opposed to being processed through traditional heating and roasting methods?


David Wolfe's Sunfood Nutrition

It probably sounds unbelievable to many of us that a food as popular as chocolate might have a rather cryptic, hidden history--not necessarily what we may have been led to believe by the modern chocolate industry--especially given the fact that chocolate is one of the most widely-eaten foods in the entire world. In fact, at any given time, 1 out of every 100 people in the world is consuming chocolate in some form.

The modern commercial chocolate industry processes the heck out of its products. It roasts the chocolate for long periods of time at high temperatures, mixes in tons of additives, presses out its highly-enobled and refined oils, adds genetically-modified ingredients (like soy lecithin), adds artificial flavors (like synthetic vanilin), adds dairy (with all the hormones and antibiotics it contains), and adds cane sugar to the finished product.

For many of us, this is the only type of chocolate we have ever had. Fortunately, David Wolfe's Sunfood Nutrition imports some of the highest-quality raw organic chocolate beans (cacao) found anywhere in the world, and presents it to you in its original, unprocessed, untampered-with state.

Why is this significant?

  • First, all the original flavors and textures are completely intact, connecting you with the original organic cacao experience.
  • Secondly, the extremely high antioxident content of the chocolate has not been blocked by the addition of dairy and sugar (known blockers of the body's ability to use antioxidents).
  • Third, all of the many varied Phenethylamines (PEA) are completely intact. These chemicals are known as "love chemicals" as they make you feel like you are in love. They also help lift your mood (and are known to be lower in people with depression)--and help surpress your appetite, helping you lose weight.

These are just a few of the many, many important qualities of the raw organic cacao nut--now available to you from David Wolfe's Sunfood Nutrition.

Please stay tuned to future blog posts, as we're going to continue exploring in-depth all the amazing healing qualities of raw chocolate, and all the other raw superfoods that can help us all to have the best day ever!


Many blessings to you, and have the best day ever!

David Wolfe's Sunfood Nutrition



Any fans of David Wolfe and his Sunfood Nutrition organization out there? I think you soon will be, if you try out his products.

The son of two medical doctors, David Wolfe has established himself over the past 14 years as the world's foremost authority on raw and living food nutrition, superfoods and superherbs, and healing your life by having the best day ever.

Sunfood Nutrition



David's nutritional career began while he was still in school where he studyied mechanical enginering and eventually obtained a doctorate in law. As a side project, he taught classes on eating raw foods and healing your body through proper nutrition.

This led, in 1995 to the founding of a company originally called "Nature's FirstLaw". This company innovated in bringing the very highest quality raw and organic foods to the internet, available to anyone worldwide who had a computer.

The hallmarks of this company, since the beginning, have been distributing "foods,books, and products that are not only environmentally friendly and ecologically sustainable, but are also substantially improving the health of the planet, theplants, the animals, and the human population." This shows, in that recently, thecompany has built a new, totally environmentally-friendly headquarters in Southern California-the hub of its worldwide superfood shipping operation.

Since 1995, Nature's First Law (now known as Sunfood Nutrition) has been playing the leading role of any raw health-food company on the internet, sacrificingnothing to find and sell the highest quality and most nutritionally-rich foods on the planet-foods like chewy, moist, and absolutely guaranteed organic goji berries from Tibet and China, the powerful invigorating (and strong aphrodisiac) power of Peruvian powdered maca……

and quite possibly the most significant and joyful realization in the modern history of natural food: importing the highest-quality raw chocolate beans (organic raw cacao) from Equador, and bringing the unprocessed, un-tampered-with glory of this amazing flavor sensation food to the world in all its naked beauty. (For more information about raw chocolate, check out David Wolfe's book Naked Chocolate).



David Wolfe's Sunfood Nutrition company has survived and thrived on the internet for the past 14 years, and I suspect it will be here for many more years to come,bringing some of the highest-quality, most nutritionally-packed raw and livingfoods ever to anyone who has a computer.
