raw cacao
Unroasted chocolate beans
Raw cacao refers to cacao beans or products processed at low temperatures to preserve nutrients and enzymes.
Distinguished from regular cocoa, which undergoes roasting, raw cacao is marketed as more nutritious and intensely flavored: She adds raw cacao nibs to her smoothies.
The "raw" designation appeals to health-conscious consumers, though processing standards vary.
