This cacao powder is perfect! It's not processed with an alkali (dutch) so it's just straight up raw. I use cacao nibs a lot so this is just the same thing but in powder form. It has a wonderful aroma and is very rich. It does have a strong taste but I prefer that. I bought this powder to put in my smoothies and to also make coconut oil chocolates. It's great in the chocolates and in my smoothies! I just hope that this is a true product that's really organic in every way possible. Also, I would like to know if this product is part of the Fair Trade program. I will continue to look for a product that is since I think that's really important. Anyway, the powder does have a slight grit to it but it's not very noticeable, especially when you're mixing it with other foods that have texture. Here is my coconut oil chocolates recipe: (Using all Organic/NON-GMO Ingredients) 1/2c Coconut Oil 1/4c Cocao Powder 2-5 drops liquid Stevia (you really don't need any if you're using dried fruit) Pinch of Sea Salt 1 tbsp. Maca Powder 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Optional: Raisins, walnuts, pecans, goji berries, shredded coconut, hemp hearts, cashews Put all ingredients in a large glass Pyrex measuring cup/bowl (I put mine on my glass top stove and turn on lowest setting and turn off when half melted) and use a whisk to slowly mix together until fully melted. In a silicone mold (I use a heart shaped silicone ice cube tray I got from Michaels for $1.99) place any of the optional ingredients into each mold. I use a mixture of all of them but it's fun to make different combinations. Once you're done then use a small ladle to fill each mold with the chocolate mixture. Place the mold into the fridge for about 20 minutes or until fully set. Pop the chocolates out of the mold and put them in a bag or other sealable container. They last for a few weeks.
