Although the ingredient list is the same, a slight change in processing makes a world of difference in the final product! Our regular Cacao Powder (like most cacao and cocoa powders) has had much of its fat content removed—through cold pressing, in this case. The Keto Cacao Powder has not been cold pressed and so retains all of its naturally occurring healthy fats. This makes it advantageous for those following a ketogenic diet, and provides a healthy dose of satiating, plant-based fat for anyone.

Technically no (and neither is most other "raw" cacao, but that's a story for another day!). First, our cacao is naturally fermented to increase its nutritional potency, and then it's briefly roasted to develop its delicious flavor and ensure food safety. All of our nutritional testing is done on our finished Keto Cacao Powder, and we are confident that it's one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet!

Yes, caffeine is naturally occurring in cacao (happily, so is calming magnesium and relaxing theobromine). You can expect 14mg of caffeine per tablespoon in our Keto Cacao Powder.

Yes, all of our products are tested by third party, independent labs for heavy metals, microbials, and nutritional values. Trace amounts of cadmium and lead are inherent to virtually all minimally processed cacao and we are confident in the quality and safety of our product. Please visit our Help Center for more information.

Some of our superfoods fall under CA's Prop 65 labeling requirements. This is due to trace amounts of heavy metals that are naturally occurring in the organic soils in which our superfoods grow. Please note that Prop 65 is a right-to-know law, and not a determination of a product's safety. For more information, please see our Help Center articles about Prop 65 here.

We are unable to ship any products that have a high cacao butter content in the summer because they are at risk of melting during transit. While it doesn’t actually harm the product, it changes the form that the product arrives in and may impact usage options. We recommend purchasing this item from brick and mortar stores only during the summer months. For our store locator, please click here.

Due to this product’s heat sensitivity, we are unable to ship it during the summer months. Unfortunately, this disqualifies it from subscription orders year round. Sorry for the inconvenience!
