White chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate--there are many types of chocolate. But what exactly is Xocai chocolate? Xocai is a healthy Belgian alternative chocolate, and unlike other "healthy" chocolates, it tastes very very good.
Xocai (pronounced "sho-sigh") chocolate is "produced with non-alkalized, non-lecithin zed cacao pepper, antioxidants, combined with Acai berries and blueberries." It is made with a cold process, in contrast to the heat processes of other chocolates, which helps to preserve the antioxidants and make Xocai a "healthy" chocolate.
What’s In Xocai?
Cacao: Raw cacao is one of nature’s most nutrient-dense foods. Xocai’s cacao is cold-processed with a proprietary method that preserves the vast array of antioxidant and other nutrient compounds. Research overwhelmingly shows that properly processed cacao is able to protect the body in a variety of ways.
Acai Berry: This small, purple berry is a nutrient powerhouse, providing the body with amino acids, essential fats, vitamins, and minerals. It’s also the second highest food source of antioxidants, with about 14 times more antioxidants than spinach and up to 30 times more antioxidants than red wine.
Blueberry: Blueberries consistently rank very high in antioxidant activity when compared to other fruits and vegetables. Blueberry’s anthocyanins are the compounds responsible for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and are linked to a number of health benefits.
Health Benefits
Xocai chocolate can lower cholesterol, fight cavities, boost energy, protect against stroke and improve libido. It is, however, the antioxidants in Xocai that provide the most benefit. Antioxidants called flavanoids are naturally present in dark chocolate. Raw cocoa, a major ingredient, also contains powerful antioxidants. The makers have also cut out all waxes, refined sugars and bad fats.
According to Dr. Richard Cutler, former Director of the Anti-Aging Research department in Washington, D.C., "The amount of antioxidants you maintain in your body is directly proportional to how long and healthy you will live."
