CACAO

Clean organic cacao brings smiles to your body and mind

Vietnam's Ben Tre Province is famous for its coconut production. Cacao101 uses only organically grown Trinitario cacao grown here. Grown under palm trees, fed on coconuts and leaves, this organic cacao is grown without excessive use of pesticides, making it healthy for both the consumer and the producer. Furthermore, the cacao is carefully handcrafted immediately after harvest, ensuring world-class quality. Enjoy the taste and aroma of our cacao with peace of mind.

Another feature of this cacao is that it is made from clean, fair-trade cocoa beans. Many cacao farms in developing countries are home to children who have been trafficked or kidnapped, unable to attend school, and forced to work in poor conditions. Cacao101 aims to create cocoa sweets that bring smiles, energy, and happiness to both those who make and those who eat them, and uses only ethically sourced cocoa that does not involve child labor or other unfair practices.

Benefits of cacao

The benefits of cacao

  • Preventing illness through intestinal health

    High-cocoa chocolate contains a lot of cocoa protein and dietary fiber, which are ingredients that address the large intestine. Cocoa protein in particular has been proven to increase beneficial bacteria in the intestines, improve intestinal balance, and promote intestinal peristalsis, thereby improving bowel movements. When waste and gas are not excreted, harmful substances can lead to illness, leading to diabetes, arteriosclerosis, colon cancer, and a weakened immune system, so it is important to promote an improved intestinal environment! Incorporating cocoa into your life can help prevent a variety of diseases.

  • Youthful and beautiful from the inside out

    Cocoa polyphenols are found in abundance in cacao. Originally a compound that plants use to protect themselves from external threats, they also have a protective effect when ingested by the human body. They have been shown to lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels, inhibit the production of excessive free radicals that can lead to cancer and dementia, and the "bad" cholesterol that leads to arteriosclerosis, and even reduce mental stress. So why not aim for a healthy, vibrant, and beautiful body with cocoa polyphenols, which address internal deterioration and aging?

  • Increased concentration and relaxation effects

    The scientific name for cacao is "Theobroma," which means "food of the gods" in Greek. Theobromine, from which the name is derived, is a rare component that has been proven to expand blood vessels and increase blood flow, raising body temperature and improving sensitivity to cold, as well as activating the brain and improving concentration. The moderate bitterness of theobromine, unique to chocolate, also has a relaxing effect.

Healthy ingredients

Carefully selected ingredients

Gluten Free

Gluten-free

Gluten is a compound that is created when water is added to glutenin and gluadin contained in wheat flour and kneaded. Modern wheat, which has been selectively bred for mass production and improved texture, differs from the wheat that Japanese people have traditionally eaten and contains an increased amount of gluten. This is said to have made it more difficult for the body to digest. When gluten accumulates in the intestines and remains as a waste product, it becomes a harmful substance, causing allergies, rough skin, and a weakened immune system. By adopting a gluten-free diet, you can improve your intestinal environment and heal your body from the inside out.

Additive-Free

No refined sugar, emulsifiers, preservatives, flavorings, or colorings

Chemical substances such as food additives reduce intestinal bacteria and have a negative impact on the intestinal environment. They stick to the intestinal wall, preventing immediate excretion and causing inflammation in the intestines. On the other hand, avoiding food additives is said to increase intestinal fermentation activity, generating hydrogen that removes cellular oxidation, leading to anti-aging effects. Improving your intestinal environment can boost your immune system and improve skin condition. Furthermore, sweet and delicious white sugar loses its vitamins, minerals, and calcium during the refining process, leaving it with almost no nutritional value other than calories. We offer guilt-free sweets that are free of white sugar and additives and can be enjoyed without guilt.
