Cacao With Purpose: How to Use It & Why It Matters

At Soaps of Eden, we don't just stock raw ingredients because they're trendy. We choose products that mean something — to the body, to the earth, and to the people who use them.

Our Organic Peruvian Cacao Powder is one of those products.

🍫 What Makes It Special?

This isn't your average cacao powder from the back shelf of a big-box store. Our cacao is:

• Raw & organic
• Grown traditionally in Peru
• Not alkalised or dutched
• Minimally processed to retain nutrients & natural cacao butter

While it’s not labelled as “ceremonial grade,” it shares many of the same characteristics — rich in theobromine, naturally high in magnesium, and ideal for more than just baking. This is cacao with purpose.

💛 How to Use It

1. For Mindful Moments
Warm a tablespoon with hot (not boiling) water or plant-based milk. Add a touch of honey, cinnamon, or cayenne for a simple, soul-soothing cacao drink.

2. For Wellness & Energy
Use in smoothies or morning blends instead of coffee — cacao gives you a gentle lift without the crash.

3. For Skin Care
Cacao is rich in antioxidants and makes a beautiful addition to face masks or DIY body scrubs when mixed with honey, clay, or yoghurt.

4. For Baking With Benefits
This cacao powder works beautifully in brownies, cakes, and bliss balls. It adds depth and richness without the bitterness of over-processed cocoa.

🛍️ Why We Stock It

• Cacao has been revered by ancient cultures for centuries — not just as food, but as medicine, ritual, and connection. While we’re not here to run ceremonies, we are here to honour that tradition by offering real ingredients with integrity.
• We pack it in small batches right here in Melbourne. No fillers. No fluff. Just the good stuff.

✨ Final Thoughts

• Whether you're stirring it into your morning, adding it to a face mask, or baking for someone you love — this cacao is more than just an ingredient. It's a way to reconnect with simplicity, slow down, and do something good for yourself.
