Raw Chocolate: A Healthy Indulgence

Raw Cacao is one of the world’s true superfoods, and was considered a “gift from the gods” by the Aztecs. When chocolate is cooked, which most chocolate is, many of the naturally occurring enzymes and antioxidants are denatured or destroyed. Raw chocolate is a mood enhancer, an appetite suppressant, an aphrodisiac, and provides natural energy from theobromine. It is rich in polyphenols, which benefit the cardiovascular system, and there are more antioxidants in a 2 ounce bar than 30 cups of blueberries or spinach.

Sinless Raw Food was founded in 2010 by Kathy McGuinn and Adam Konecny, two raw vegan chefs. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, they make raw, all-natural, vegan, sugar-free chocolate that both tastes delicious, and is great for you. By never raising the temperature of their chocolate above 115 degrees, they preserve the naturally occurring enzymes and antioxidants found in raw cacao.

Sinless Raw Chocolate is sweetened with erythritol, an all natural, zero calorie sweetener that does not raise the blood sugar, nor cause digestive upset. It is safe for diabetics. After 10 months perfecting their recipe, Adam and Kathy have managed to create raw chocolate that tastes every bit as good as cooked chocolate, and is ideal for people trying to reduce the amount of sugar and carbohydrates in their diet.

“We make chocolate that is good for the mind, body and spirit. Many people have told us they never knew that chocolate could taste so delicious,” says McGuinn.
