100% ceremonial raw cocoa beans from Bolivia 200gram

Cocoa beans are rich in various nutrients and bioactive connections that offer various health benefits. Here are some of the most important substances that make cocoa beans healthy for humans:
1. Flavonoids: These natural connections are known for their antioxidative properties, allowing them to protect the cells in the body against damage caused by free radicals. Flavonoids in cocoa, such as epicatine and catechin, can help to reduce inflammation and improve heart health by promoting vascular dilation and reducing blood pressure.
2. Magnesium: cocoa beans are an excellent source of magnesium, a mineral that is essential for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including muscle and nerve function, blood sugar level regulation, and blood pressure control.
3. Iron: they also contain iron, which is crucial for the transport of oxygen in the blood and can help prevent anemia.
4. Antioxidants: In addition to flavonoids, cocoa beans contain other antioxidants such as polyphenols, which can offer protection against chronic diseases, including heart disease.
5. Theobromine: This is a mild stimulating agent that occurs in cocoa beans and can help improve mental alertness and reduce fatigue. Theobromine also has a mild diuretic effect and can help improve the health of the heart.
6. Fiber: cocoa beans are rich in dietary fiber, which can help with digestion and promote a healthy intestinal microbioma. Fiber can also help regulate blood sugar levels and support weight management.
7. Healthy fats: they contain healthy fats such as oil acid, a monounsaturated fat that can help improve cholesterol levels and promote heart health.
Usage
Yes, you can immediately consume or crumble raw cocoa beans and add it to food. The taste can be quite bitter and strong, which not everyone likes. You can consider roasting the beans for consumption to soften the taste and improve texture, although this can reduce some nutrients.
Use ceremonial

The preparation of cocoa beans for ceremonial use is a process that requires respect and attention for the spiritual and cultural meaning of cocoa. For a single dose of ceremonial cocoa drink, a quantity of approximately 20 to 40 grams of raw cocoa beans is often recommended. However, this depends on personal preference, the desired strength of the drink, and the specific practice or tradition that is followed.
1. Light dose: for a milder experience that can be suitable for beginners or people with a higher sensitivity to cocoa, you could start with about 20 grams of cocoa beans.
2. Standard dose: for a standard ceremonial dose, which aims for a deeper connection and more pronounced effects, 30 to 40 grams of cocoa beans is often used.
3. Strong dose: some ceremonies require a stronger dose, perhaps 40 grams or more, depending on the context and the guidance of the ceremony. It is important to remember that a higher dose can also increase the chance of side effects such as nausea or over -stimulation.
Here is a general guideline for preparing cocoa beans for ceremonial use, as used in various traditional and contemporary ceremonies:
1. Cleaning
Start with a physical and energetic cleaning of space, yourself, and the cocoa beans. This can include smoke from white sage, Palo Santo or another cleaning ritual. For the beans themselves, a simple rinse under running water is sufficient, with the intention of purifying them from any negative energies.
2. Roasting
Roasting cocoa beans helps to develop the flavors and makes it easier to remove the skin. Roast the beans slightly over a low heat, while keeping attention and intention of the process and the upcoming ceremony. Keep stirring to prevent burning.
3. Peel
After roasting, let the beans cool. Then peel the skin off each bean. This can be done manually, where you can sometimes roll the beans lightly between your hands or on a clean cloth to facilitate the process.
4. Malen
The peeled beans can then be ground into a fine pasta. This is possible with a manual grinder, a stone mill or a modern food processor. The intention and attention during this process are crucial for maintaining the spiritual qualities of the cocoa.
5. Preparation of the drink
Mix the cocoa paste with hot water (do not use boiling water, because this can damage the active ingredients) and stir well. Traditionally, no sweeteners are added to this, but depending on the specific ceremony and personal preference, honey, chili, vanilla, or other natural ingredients can be added to enrich the experience.
6. Intention and prayer
Before the cocoa is served, you pronounce an intention or prayer about the drink. This is a time to call on the spirit of cocoa and to request permission and blessings for the ceremony.
7. Consumption
The cocoa drink is drunk in a ceremonial context, often in a circle and with the guidance of a facilitator or shaman. Participants can be encouraged to meditate on their intention, to share in a circle, or to participate in other ritual practices.
8. It is important to remember that respect for the cocoa and the cultures that this holy plant have been using for centuries is central to every ceremony. Ceremonial use of cocoa is a powerful way to connect to your heart, with others, and with the earth.
