About this herb
Decaf fat-free cocoa powder.
Made from the highest quality hand-harvested cocoa beans in Hawaii, crushed and hot water (extracted) decaffeinated to soothe the cocoa lovers that desire less caffeine, our decaf cocoa powder is less than 1% fat.
* Fat-Free ( cocoa naturally contains fat, this powder contains 0.5mg fat per tablespoon). Sugar-Free ( just pure cocoa). * Caffeine Free ( no cocoa can be totally caffeine-free, there is always traces of caffeine).
* This product contains very small traces of caffeine, do not use it if you are allergic to caffeine.
Recommended serving size: 1 tablespoon or 6 grams.
OUR COCOA DECAFF PROCESS: Bearing in mind that caffein cannot be 100% eliminated from the cocoa beans, our process is to reduce the caffein. The whole cocoa beans pods are hot water soaked, in shell, then steamed in double boiler - this process removed most of the caffein. To confirm the lowered caffein content we test throughout the process. We use a UV Spectroscope to measure the caffeine, this uses wavelength to measure, the wave spikes determines the caffeine level. The lower the spike, the lower the caffeine, this achieves levels of .03-.08% of caffeine per milligram.
The pods are cooled, cracked and carefully removed, leaving the nibs. The nibs are then passed through a mechanical press to extract the cocoa butter (fat) from the nibs.
The cocoa nibs are then dehydrated on low temperature, After dehydration the nibs are lightly roast on low temperature, for a robust flavor. The nibs are then grounded to powder and sifted to ensure it smooth texture.
Decaffeinated cocoa powder generally has significantly lower total stimulant levels, including a reduction in theobromine from its original amount, approximately 108-112 mg per table spoon. Decaf cocoa reduces your caffeine intake while still providing the full cardiovascular benefits, smooth-muscle relaxation, and mood-boosting properties tied to theobromine.
While it is difficult to completely remove theobromine without damaging other beneficial compounds like polyphenols, it is possible to create low-caffeine cocoa that still contains some theobromine.
