Can we consume cocoa powder?

We do not recommend Cocoa powder. It is a highly refined & processed food item.

 

Instead, you can use Cacao powder. Please note - Cacao is different from Cocoa. Cacao is okay to have, as it is a raw powdered form of the wholesome Cocoa bean. But when this powder is filtered and highly processed, it becomes Cocoa powder.

 

When using Cacao powder, please remember to use it occasionally (once in a week). Since it is a powerful stimulant and Rajasik in nature.

 

You can also use Carob powder, which is a substitute for Cacao and both taste similar
