Nutrition Benefits of Cacao
Cacao is loaded with antioxidants. Lets put into perspective at how loaded chocolate is. One way to measure antioxidant density is through something called an ORAC score. Cacao scores 95,500 mmol per 100g while blueberries (also known for antioxidants) scores 2,400. Many of the antioxidants in cacao are flavonoids, including anthocyanidin.
