How Cacao RecipesYour HeartCacao is a sacred, ancient, medicinal food of the Aztecs. The Aztecs called cacao "yollotl eztli", which translates to "heart blood". Cacao physically supports heart health with its high concentration of magnesium, omega-fatty acids, vitamin C, iron and antioxidants. Cacao also supports heart health by containing compounds called Phenylethylamines (PEAs), chemicals that we produce in our bodies when we fall deeply in love. Love and chocolate do indeed have a connection. |  |
