1. What is the difference between ceremonial cacao and raw cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is grown and prepared with intention and ritual by indigenous communities who have been using cacao for spiritual purposes for thousands of years. It is traditionally consumed in a ceremonial setting, such as a traditional cacao ceremony, to connect with the spirit of the cacao and to facilitate deep healing and inner exploration. Raw cacao, on the other hand, is typically consumed for its high nutrient content and culinary versatility. It can be used in a variety of recipes, from smoothies to desserts, and is known for its rich flavour and health benefits. While raw cacao can certainly be used in ceremonial contexts, it is not specifically grown or prepared with the same level of intention and ritual as ceremonial cacao. At Sacred Taste, we believe that ceremonial cacao and raw cacao are two distinct forms of cacao with different purposes and energies. Ceremonial cacao is specifically grown, harvested, and prepared for use in sacred cacao ceremonies, while raw cacao is typically consumed for its nutritional and culinary benefits.

2. Can I drink ceremonial cacao everyday?
At Sacred Taste, we believe the consumption of ceremonial cacao holds a special place. While it is possible to drink ceremonial cacao every day, it is essential to approach this practice with mindfulness and reverence. We advise on drinking your ceremonial grade cacao on special occasions, in a ritualistic practice or in sacred ceremony.

3. Is cacao good for depression?
Cacao, the raw form of chocolate, has been studied for its potential to improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression. It contains flavonoids that may enhance mood and provide neuroprotective effects. Research suggests that consuming cacao can boost serotonin and dopamine levels, which are important for regulating mood. Studies have shown that cacao consumption can improve mood and well-being in individuals with depression or in healthy adults. However, cacao should not be considered a standalone treatment for depression, and professional medical advice, therapy, and support are crucial for managing depression effectively. Incorporating raw, organic and ceremonial cacao into a healthy lifestyle may offer benefits, but it's important to consult with a healthcare professional or alternative therapist for personalised guidance and treatment options.

4. Is cacao good for your lungs?
Cacao contains antioxidants that may have overall health benefits. The antioxidants in cacao, such as flavonoids, can help reduce oxidative stress in the body, which may have positive implications for various organs, including the lungs. However, the direct impact of cacao on lung health has not been extensively studied. If you have concerns about your lung health, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.
