Cacao is the name of the small tree native to the Amazon basin that grows cacao, or cocoa, beans. Its scientific name, Theobroma cacao, translates to "food of the Gods." The ancient Mayans and Aztecs used cacao as medicine for centuries. Today the cacao tree grows in tropical regions all over the world.

Cacao beans develop flavor and texture through fermentation before they’re processed into either cacao or cocoa powder. Fermenting and roasting cacao is also the first step in making chocolate.

Raw cacao tastes bitter, but it's very high in antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, so it is often made into a powder that can be added to other foods.

Cacao vs. cocoa

Cacao is the fruit in its raw form before it's ever processed. Cocoa is usually a powder made from cacao that you bake with. It's flavor isn't as bitter as raw cacao, but it has more suger.

Cacao powder is made from raw cacao beans and nibs that are fermented and then roasted. They're then milled into a powder. They’re processed at much lower temperatures than the beans used to create cocoa powder,

which is why cacao powder is quite bitter but retains more of the cacao bean’s original nutritional value.

Lowers chances of heart disease

Studies have linked the flavanols in cacao and cocoa to higher levels of nitric oxide in your blood. The nitric oxide helps relax your arteries and blood vessels, which helps your blood flow better. Cacao also has been shown to lower your LDL, or "bad," cholesterol and reduce inflammation, both of which may lower your chances of having a heart attack or stroke.
