Ceremonial Cacao
Ceremonial cacao plays a central role in cacao ceremonies, where it is valued for its ability to open hearts and enlighten the mind. During these rituals, cacao is consumed to establish a deep spiritual connection. Ceremonial cacao beans are perfect for this purpose thanks to their rich, pure quality and the ancient wisdom they embody. These beans are imbued with spiritual energy, making each ceremony an authentic and powerful experience.
Usage for Ceremonies
Raw cacao can be consumed directly, but don't expect it to taste like a chunk of pure chocolate. The taste is bitter and strong. You can crumble the cacao paste and consume it, add it to food, or melt it (cacao paste melts best in a bain-marie or at very low temperature in a pan to prevent burning).
