BetterBody FoodsOrganic Cacao Powder, Rich Chocolate Flavor, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Cocoa, 16 ounce, 1 lb bag

Great stuff, lots of flavor. Can be used in so many different recipes.

I have been using this cacao powder in all my chocolate baking needs and it has been a game changer. Rich and smooth taste 👌Brownies, homemade hot coco, homemade chocolate syrup, etc. It blends well with other ingredients and the quality is definitely high. The size of the bag is decent, I empty it all into glass mason jars for fresh keeping.

I love this cacao powder! It has a rich, deep chocolate flavor and works great for smoothies, baking, and even homemade hot cocoa. It’s unsweetened but has a naturally smooth taste, and I love that it’s organic. A great way to add a healthy chocolate boost to recipes!

This is the 3rd best organic cacao we've ever had, and only barely below our #2 choice. Unfortunately, what we were getting on an Amazon subscription suddenly disappeared from Amazon altogether a month ago. We had to make a last-minute substitution for last month's delivery. This brand was almost equal to what we had been getting before, and to that point it had been THE best we'd ever tried! This brand also has almost zero bitterness. My wife can actually eat it and enjoy it by the spoonful, I'm not QUITE there yet - but it's definitely not particularly bitter, nor is there any strong aftertaste.My wife mixes it with some berries and cream as part of her keto diet, and loves it! I use it in a wonderful smoothie that I make for an entire meal for myself. I would have preferred the other brand we'd been getting, but would have been entirely satisfied with this if it was the best we could find.So why is this not 2nd best with the previous product as our top choice? Actually, until 48 hours ago, it WAS. But when our previous choice didn't come back into the inventory on Amazon after our last subscription order, I did more research and decided to try one other brand just in case it was at least equal to our previous favorite. However, I had no hesitation at leaving this brand in our monthly Amazon subscription plan.The new product I ordered just to try out, arrived two days ago and it beats any previous cacao powder we've ever tried - including the one we had previously been getting on the subscription. Comparison-wise (hoping this doesn't violate an Amazon review policy), I'm going to mention the new brand we just received and have had the pleasure of trying (I'm about to go review it as well). What we just got two days ago is the Viva Naturals organic cacao powder with the Crillo beans. We've never tasted anything that good before.BUT - this review is about the Better Body Foods product - and it's a highly satisfactory product and one we'd get again if we couldn't get our previous brand that's no longer available (assuming we'd never received and tried the Viva Naturals brand). All three are superior to anything we've tried in the past, and the difference between our #2 and #3 is so slight as to be of little significance. If I could rate this as a "5-" and the Viva Naturals a "5+" I'd do so. Purchase this brand and you won't be sorry.COMMENT: I'm tired of seeing the 1-star ratings that seriously downgrade products based on California food standards. The chances of getting superior cacao without what California wants to scare people into entirely avoiding is almost zero due to the soils in which the very best cacao is grown. If you want lower quality cacao that is now being farmed in Africa, fine - that's a personal choice. But don't totally trash a great cacao that is grown where it was naturally and originally supposed to grow, simply because of a natural process whereby the elements in the earth become part of the plant. Food safety is a legitimate issue, but making it a radical political agenda isn't. [Soapbox/OFF]

I purchased this mainly because I've been trying to eat more pure chocolate for health reasons, not necessarily for cooking purposes. I've been eating a good quality cocoa and thought I would try this since raw cacao is supposed to have more flavonoids etc. I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor, it is a bit different from high quality cocoa but in no way inferior. I use this to make a hot chocolate in the evenings, I don't use any sugar at all and although it is obviously somewhat bitter compared to typical hot chocolate, I don't mind the taste at all. Now sweetened hot chocolate tastes too sweet! Overall I'm very happy with and I'm looking forward to trying it in some of my recipes that call for traditional cocoa.

Great quality, great price, great taste

Great powder. Makes great hot chocolate, chocolate syrup, brownies and truffles, all gluten free.

Love to use with blanched ground almonds vanilla bean stevia in chocolate milk flavor. Better for you than chocolate milk with more protein less carbs too.
