Pure Delights™ are an organic, raw, vegan chocolate treat made with raw cacao nibs. Cacao Nibs are truly chocolate at its finest. They have all of the good, and none of the bad. Chocolate is one of America's most well-loved foods, yet few Americans have ever experienced the raw food that all chocolate comes from - cacao beans! cacao

   Raw Cacao Nibs contain over 300 chemically identifiable compounds, making them one of the most complex food substances on Earth. Cacao is the most prized rainforest food. It is the richest source of magnesium on the planet, increasing alkalinity of the body while supporting the heart, brain, muscles and bones. In addition, cacao beans contain a whopping 10% antioxidant concentration level, making it one of the richest sources of antioxidants of any food. Substances in cacao actively discussed in the scientific literature as health promoting include: anandamide (bliss chemical), arginine (nature’s viagra), dopamine (neurotransmitter), epicatechins (antioxidants), histamine, magnesium, serotonin (anti-stress neurotransmitter), tryptophan (anti-depressant amino acid), phenylethylamine (PEA), polyphenols (antioxidants), tyramine, and salsolinol. history of cacao

      Pure Delights™ are sweetened with Organic Agave Syrup; a sweet nectar from the agave cactus plant. Since agave syrup has a low glycemic index, it does not elevate blood sugar quickly like traditional sweeteners. It is a safe, natural alternative for anyone concerned about the negative effects of sugar on their body chemistry. Agave is safe for many diabetics, too!  In Mexico, the agave cactus is known as the “tree of life and abundance.” agave

     
      In addition, Pure Delights™ contain Organic Coconut and Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. Coconut is highly nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. It is classified as a "functional food" because it provides many health benefits beyond its nutritional content. Coconut oil is of special interest because it possesses healing properties far beyond that of any other dietary oil and is extensively used in traditional medicine among Asian and Pacific populations. In fact, Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be the cure for all illnesses. The coconut palm is so highly valued by them as both a source of food and medicine that it is called "The Tree of Life."    coconut oil

       Only recently has modern medical science unlocked the secrets to coconut's amazing healing powers. Coconut and coconut oil provide rich nutrients to the body. They have antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Coconut oil also contains medium chain fatty acids (MCFA’s), as opposed to long chain fatty acids (LCFA’s). Since the saturated fatty acids in coconut oil are predominately medium-chain, the physiological effects of its MCFA’s are distinctly more beneficial from those LCFA’s more commonly found in conventional foods such as meat, milk, eggs and plants (including most all vegetable oils). MCFA’s are thus very different from LCFA’s. They do not have a negative effect on cholesterol and help to protect against heart disease. MCFA’s also help to lower the risk of both atherosclerosis and heart disease. It is primarily the MCFA’s in coconut oil that make it so special and so beneficial! coconut
