Roast Whole Bean
Roast Whole Bean
A growing phenomenon, the raw food movement encourages adherents to eat only foods that are either uncooked or cooked no higher than 120degrees F to preserve the beneficial enzymes in food. These unadulterated foods offer people many health benefits, and in the case of raw cacao a delicious cacao eating experience.
What is organic raw chocolate? Maintaining the tradition of low temperatures, raw cacao should be made with the following techniques:
- Rather than full fermentation, raw cacao is produced by fermenting the beans less than 15 percent of the time used to create regular chocolate.
- The temperatures used to roast raw cacao are about 104°F, which is quite a bit cooler than the traditional 300°F used to create conventional chocolate products.
These two changes in chocolate making result in raw cacao, which is said to have one-third more antioxidants than regular chocolate! Raw chocolate companies also use no preservatives or artificial ingredients and praise their products for containing higher levels of vitamins and minerals. If sweeteners are used to make raw chocolate bars, more natural options such as agave syrup, maple syrup, or raw honey are employed.
