Vital Purple is the most nutrient dense pure cacao powder in the world. No other cacao offers this powerful combination of flavanols (antioxidants) and anthocyanins.
The Anthocyanins are what give it this purple cocoa powder it's purple hue, and they're an incredibly powerful antioxidant that we intentionally try to preserve.
Raw
This combination of nutrition only exists because it is truly raw, below 95 F. We have intentionally eliminated the fermentation and roasting process to replicate the health benefits of eating pure cacao right from the pod during harvest. Most "Raw" cacao products still go through fermentation up to 130 Fahrenheit, killing vital nutrients.
Organic
We intentionally source from farms that use organic, regenerative growing practices, without the use of chemicals. We test for pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs. Our Organic High Flavanol Cocoa Powder has superior transparency than competitors. Since the owner lives in Ecuador, he over sees everything first hand from raw material sourcing, processing, and pure cacao powder production. We frequently source from certified heirloom Arriba Nacional cacao farms, with trees older than 70 years old, impacting the flavor/quality of the cacao.
Cocoa Flavanols
Flavanols are vital because they are a powerful antioxidant. The Purple Hue in this pure cacao powder is a specific type of flavanol called an Anthocyanin. Specific types of cacao naturally have this color at the time of harvest and we preserve this nutrient by immediately removing moisture at the time of harvest and preventing oxidation, thus retaining it's purple color. That is why Vital Purple is technically a purple cocoa, and why it's color should be recognized as a sign that it is very nutrient dense. Organic High Flavanol Cocoa has been studied dozens of times and we publish the results of these studies in our blogs.
Why can we call it the best high flavanol cocoa powder in the world? Because of the nutrients we are retaining, so you are getting the true power of pure cacao powder that you would get if you were to eat it on the farm, freshly harvested.
Vital Purple Organic High Flavanol Cocoa Powder Dominates in Every Category:
- Nutrient Profile (Diversity and Efficacy of Specific Antioxidants)
- Flavor
- Texture
- Rareness
- Transparency
- Benefits
Higher Fat Content
The best part is that there is only one purple cacao powder like this in the world. Most, if not all, other High Flavanol Cocoa Powder Brands are simply using an extract. Instead, we're preserving the nutrients from the time of harvest and our pure cacao powder intentionally has more fat. "But that makes it less mixable... so why keep the fat?"
Because the non-oxidized fat is a critical macronutrient, contains flavonoids, and this is the least processed way to create Organic High Flavanol Cocoa Powder. Most of the time, you need to bring the material to very high temperatures( killing antioxidants) to remove the fat. So although it is more difficult to mix, it is a superior product than low/no fat cacao powder.
