Cacao Divino en Polvo - Orgánico
El cacao, una fuente inagotable de antioxidantes, es famoso por tener uno de los niveles más notables de antioxidantes entre varias sustancias. Los estudios revelan su superioridad sobre el vino tinto, el té verde y una gran cantidad de frutas y verduras exóticas en cuanto a contenido de antioxidantes (Dillinger et al., 2000; Hammerstone et al., 1999; Vinson et al., 1999). Nuestro cacao en polvo orgánico extra rico Heirloom Trinitario de primera calidad es rico en sabor y una valiosa fuente del mineral esencial magnesio (Franco et al., 2013).
