The Mad Millie Raw Cacao Chocolate Kit contains
all the essential tools and basic ingredients
you need to make dark, milk (or mylk) chocolate
as well as a range of chocolate delicacies at home.
Raw chocolate differs greatly from general
mass-produced chocolate you buy from your local
supermarket. It uses raw cacao (not cocoa) which is well
known for its high content of antioxidants (40 times the
antioxidants of blueberries!). When cacao is processed into
cocoa, most of these antioxidant benefits are lost. Not only
that, conventional chocolate generally contains refined
sugars, emulsifiers and many other not-so-lovely ingredients.
Raw cacao (and chocolate) are also a good source of
magnesium, iron and a general mood enhancer! Raw
chocolate tends to have a different texture to mass produced
chocolate with a more intense flavour and softer texture.
Containing antioxidants and without any nasties or refined
sugars, this kit takes your chocolate experience to a whole
new level and is practically guilt free!
Raw, vegan, organic and good for the mind, body and soul.
