Authentic Jamaican Pure Chocolate - Rich in Flavour and Nutrients

Back in the old days in Jamaica my grandparent would harvest the Cocoa, put the bean to dry on the outside barbecue them parched the Cocoa bean over fire and we as kids would beat the parched cocoa bean into a powder paste using a Mortar & Pestle.

my Grandmother would them use her hands to roll this paste in a oval shape Chocolate balls, them she would store her Chocolate in a jar, this Chocolate balls is then grated and use with coconut milk and other spices to make a very delicious cut of Chocolate tea, a favorite for us as children and still today my Mother keep the tradition going so I now carry on this old Jamaican tradition.

Jamaican pure chocolate, also known as Jamaican cacao, is a natural product made from the seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree that grows in Jamaica. It has a rich, complex flavor and is known for its health benefits.

Some potential benefits of Jamaican pure chocolate include:

1. Antioxidant properties that may help protect against free radical damage
2. Possible mood-enhancing effects due to the presence of tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin
3. May help lower blood pressure and improve heart health due to flavanols, a type of plant compound found in cacao
4. May improve brain function and cognitive performance due to caffeine and theobromine, two natural stimulants found in cacao
5. May help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
