Today we’ve got a whopping 50 cacao recipes on roundup for those seeking some healthy chocolate desserts. Though cacao does work well in smoky, earthy savory dishes, it is generally best for use in sweet, rich, creamy desserts.
Though the fruit itself is bright, sweet, and citrusy, cacao beans have a bitter, bold flavor that best resembles coffee beans. Most opt to grind the bean into a thin powder to add to dishes as one would with cocoa powder.

Thank you for the delectable looking recipes! Unfortunately, as a Pakistani, I prefer my cacao semi-sweet. Do you have any advice on how to transition from a diet consisting of primarily gluten to one resembling veganism...without skimping on taste?
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, lovely.
Raw cacao is one of my favorite dish......
ReplyDeleteRaw cacao is somewhat different from the common "Cocoa" most of us grew up with in our Afghan biscuits. Cacao (pronounced "cu-COW") refers to the Theobroma Cacao tree from which Cocoa is derived, and is used when referring to unprocessed versions of the cacao bean.
Normal cocoa powder and chocolate have been chemically processed and roasted, which destroys a large amount of the antioxidants and flavanols (the things that keep you young and healthy). A recent study suggested that between 60% and 90% of the original antioxidants in cacao are lost through common "Dutch processing". Dutch processing was originally developed in the early 19th Century to reduce the bitterness, darken the colour, and create a more mellow flavour to chocolate, but unfortunately also eliminated a bunch of the goodness.
