It is also high in magnesium, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, calcium and iron.

About the Author

When John Croft tasted the ‘real deal’ cacao many years ago, his eyes popped open and his soul sang with recognition. Freed from sugar, dairy, low-quality fats, and commercial processing, chocolate is not a wicked indulgence but a sublime doorway to bliss and radiant wellbeing. John met his life partner and wellness collaborator, Noel, in 1994 and they embarked on a global discovery of mindfulness, sound therapy, essential oils and raw chocolate—in all its delicious disguises. Together they are building a global network empowered by understanding and choices for a more holistic way of life. Meaningful connections, optimal health, a mindset of gratitude and an abundance of great chocolate—what more do you need? Cacao Addict is John Croft’s first published offering to conscious cacao-lovers across the world.
