You will love our cacao superfoods! In Peru, cacao is cultivated in the jungle of Loreto, San Martín, Ucayali, Huánuco, Junín, Pasco, Madre de Dios, Cusco and Ayacucho.
Cacao contains phytosterols (especially beta-sitosterol) that block the absorption of dietary cholesterol. It also contains polyphenols, antioxidants that prevent atherosclerotic processes. Chocolate is a highly energetic or high-calorie food, so it is recommended in situations that require a concentrated energy intake, as in the case of athletes.
