Question:	What percentage cocoa is this? Nutrition label would be helpful also
Answer:	Hi , You can find the nutrition fact at he back of the packge. It is 2nd picture.
Question:	Is this product a part of fair trade organization
Answer:	I see no indication on the label that it is fair trade. I have enjoyed this product but will now have to find a fair trade alternative. Thanks for asking the Question. This is sourced from Peru so I don’t think there is child slavery involved as there is in Africa so that is a plus. A Cocoa from South America that is fair trade might be the best solution.

Answer:	Love this cocoa powder. Never had an issue with a leak, I would contact seller.

User questions & answers

Question:	The label says that the product has more dietary fiber than carbs? I don't think thats even since dietary fiber is carbohydrate. Maybe it's a typo
Answer:	This is in fact a typo. The Dietary Fiber figure should be with the Carbohydrates on the Nutritional Label. We apologies for the confusion.
Question:	How much lead
Answer:	0.146 parts per million as per third party lab tests. This means that one serving (1 tbsp) of our Cacao Powder has a maximum of 0.7 micrograms of lead. For context, the World Health Organization (WHO) has determined that a tolerable daily intake of lead for children is 3.6 micrograms per kg per day. A child weighing 20 kg (44 lbs) could safely consume 72 micrograms of lead a day or 99 tbsp (17.4 oz) of our Cacao Powder.
Question:	Can you please confirm the carb and fiber nutritional value? It says 0.9g of carb
Answer:	2.9g of Carbohydrates, of which 2.0g is Dietary Fiber.
Question:	How much cadmium is in here? I believe safe levels of cadmium in America are 0.67 parts per million of cadmium, so I would like to compare
Answer:	0.07 parts per million as per third party lab tests. If you’re curious, the low traces of Cadmium are the result of our cacao trees growing in non-volcanic soil in the Xingu region of the Brazilian Amazon, which has much lower heavy metal content than cacao trees that grow in the soil of mountainous regions such as those of Western South America where Cadmium levels can be as high as 1.1 parts per million (15x higher than ours).

What's the Difference between Cacao and Cocoa?

The official name of the chocolate tree is Theobroma Cacao. Some experts believe that over time the word "Cacao" became Anglicized and most likely through common error people started calling it "Cocoa". Now, with the rebirth of old-style, artisanal chocolate there is a movement to reclaim the beans rightful name: Cacao (pronounced Ka-Kow). Today, the two words are often used interchangeably.

AROMATIC PROFILE: Notes of red berries, citrus fruits and brown sugar.

The majestic Magdalena river overtakes the flatlands and carves throughout mountain ranges before uniting the Caribbean Sea.

This is where the jungle meets the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. The highest coastal mountain range in the world, the Sierra Nevada stands 5,775 meters above the Caribbean Sea. At the summit, one can see for a distance of 500 km, said to be the longest between any two points on Earth.

Perla Negra 74%

Origin: Tumaco

AROMATIC PROFILE: Hints of woof, spices, nuts and caramel.

Here the jungle is dense and impenetrable. Week-long rains sustain the endless greenery.

Rio De Oro 73%

Origin: Arauca

AROMATIC PROFILE: Notes of honey, cashew and mandarin.

The sun warms the Eastern Plains of Colombia and casts a golden glow on the meandering Arauca River. Over 600 species of birds sing and watch over the anacondas. It is in these fertile riverbanks that the cacao trees grow to a sweet perfection.

• SUN-DRIED & RAW: Criollo cacao beans slowly fermented at room temperature immediately after harvest and sun-dried (never roasted) under the Amazonian sun prior to being crushed into nibs. Always processed under 108°F for maximum nutrient retention.
• SINGLE ORIGIN AND SUSTAINABLY SOURCED: Made exclusively from cacao native to the banks of the Madeira River in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, these nibs grow in an untouched environment, interacting with native plants, animals, and microorganisms. Sourcing from the wild ensures that local communities thrive from their natural ecosystem, avoiding deforestation and preserving biodiversity.
• FRESH FROM TREE-TO-DOOR: Single-source and small batch production, ensuring consistent and premium quality nibs: low acidity, uniform shape and size, free from shell pieces or fragments, and fresh and crunchy from tree-to-door!

Product features

Pure, Raw & Nutritious

Our Cacao Nibs (also know as Cocoa Nibs) are made from raw beans that grow deep inside the Amazon rainforest. Nibs are small pieces of cacao beans, exceptionally rich in Antioxidants and a great source of Healthy Fats and minerals such as Copper, Manganese, and Magnesium

Fermented & Sun-Dried

With an exquisite taste and aroma, our Cacao Nibs are non-alkalized and made from the Criollo cacao variety, which represents only 5% of the world’s crop. Slowly fermented at room temperature immediately after harvest, the cacao beans are sun-dried under the Amazonian sun prior to being crushed into nibs.

Fresh from Tree-to-Door

Through a single-source and small batch production, we ensure consistent and premium quality nibs: low acidity, uniform shape and size, free from shell pieces or fragments, and fresh and crunchy from their tree to your door.

Sustainability & Prosperity

Botanica Origins Cacao Nibs are made from native cacao naturally abundant along the banks of the Amazonian Madeira River, where they can only be reached by boat. Sourcing from the wild ensures that local communities can thrive from their natural ecosystem, helping to avoid deforestation and to preserve biodiversity.

★ WHAT IS BLACK VELVET CACAO? ★  

It's our name for the darkest type of cacao. Perfect for making Black Velvet cake and other Black Velvet baked goods. Our black cacao (aka "black cocoa") goes through the same alkalization process as a typical dutched cacao, but gets dutched further... It's ultra dutched, so the color and flavor go even deeper into the wonderful depths of cacao-ness! This means a super dark color with no acidity in flavor. 

If you've ever tried an "Oreo" cookie, or other chocolate flavored goods that are extremely dark in color, this is the secret! This creates that super dark-colored result. Now YOU can use it at home to your heart's desire. Go ahead and get craftin' in the kitchen... We can't wait to see what you create!

Produced without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or artificial agents, while using farming practices that promote ecological balance and conserve biodiversity. NOTE: Organic regulations put limits on the alkalizing agents and their amount (non-organic black cocoa is not subject to this), so our powder isn't black, but it produces a black result!

• MAKE NATURAL BLACK VELVET CAKE, HOMEMADE "OREOS," AND MORE. You know the super-dark-colored chocolate desserts you find in bakeries, restaurants, and retail food products?

Black cacao has been somewhat of a trade secret, but we're spreading it into the kitchens of people everywhere! **NOTE: Powder is not black! It's dark brown and when baked produces a black result.**

User questions & answers

Question:	Dd you use this in place of regular cocoa in a recipe or did you mix it with other cocoa
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in our products. The ingredients listed in Ruby Red Royale Premium Fruit & Nut Snack Mix do not contain gluten, however, because it is produced/packaged on equipment shared with products that contain gluten it cannot be labeled gluten free. Even though we clean equipment and try to avoid cross contamination as much as possible it cannot be considered certified gluten free.
Question:	Is this used to make cold or hot milk chocolate
Answer:	No sulfates are added to Ruby Royale. This product does not contain sulfites at a level of 10 parts per million or greater. This is less than the level at which labeling is required for food products. Have a great day!
Question:	Can this be used to make chocolate frosting that is black
Answer:	The almonds in Ruby Royale are dry roasted. We hope you enjoy it!
Question:	The serving size on the label says 33g. but the fat, carbs, and protein only add to 8g... what gives?? how can be "velvety" if the fat content is 1g
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in our products. Yes, this does contain soy lecithin.
