What's raw chocolate?
What is raw chocolate?
Typical chocolate is made by harvesting cocoa beans and then going through a process of fermentation, drying, and high-temperature roasting.
The roasting temperature varies depending on the manufacturer and intended use, but it is generally in the range of 110 to 150 degrees Celsius, and can vary greatly depending on the roasting time.
This process brings out the unique, fragrant aroma and flavor of cocoa.
On the other hand, raw chocolate is made using a process that avoids high-temperature roasting and processes the chocolate at the lowest possible temperatures, allowing you to enjoy the natural nutrients of the cocoa without losing much of them.
In Japan, raw materials used in products undergo processes such as low-temperature sterilization to ensure safety.
Edible beauty serum
Raw chocolate is rich in nutrients that are considered good for the skin. In particular, cocoa is rich in antioxidants, which may support youthful skin. Combining delicious taste with beauty benefits, raw chocolate can be called a beauty serum you can eat.
As part of femcare
Raw chocolate also contains nutrients that are particularly beneficial for women's health and femcare. Recent research has shown that cocoa may support women's hormonal balance and help alleviate menopausal symptoms. Raw chocolate is a delicious option that can contribute to women's health and femcare.
Improving immunity
The polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals in cocoa are nutrients that help boost immunity. Boosting immunity is important for maintaining women's health and vitality. By eating raw chocolate, you can enjoy both delicious taste and health benefits.
