From ancient times, Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is considered a precious food. According to the king of Montezuma, this drink was reserved for warriors and the social elite and had sacred and ceremonial characteristics. Prana source organically-grown cacao beans from the tropical fringe areas of the Andes Mountains and the Amazonian basin, working with Peruvian farming communities who cultivate them in a sustainable, ecological manner. Raw organic cacao powder is obtained by pressing the cacao liquor out of sundried cacao beans to extract cacao butter. This leaves a kind of “cacao cake” that is then grounded into fine raw cacao powder.
