Why Is Xocai so different from other chocolate?

Its all in the processing. All Xocai products contain unprocessed cocoa and Acai berry. Unprocessed cocoa has the highest concentration of antioxidants of any commonly consumed food . . . and the Acai berry follows right behind at number two. Our patented process allows the rich nutrients and antioxidants (otherwise known as flavonols) in these powerful super-foods to remain undamaged.

The typical processing of cocoa is called the Dutching Process. This includes fermentation of the beans as well as roasting, alkalizing, and lecithinizing. This is done to make the chocolate taste milder.
The result is that a majority of the beneficial antioxidant content of the cocoa is lost. That is why we don't do ANY of those things to Xocai (But it still tastes GREAT!). In addition, Xocai contains none of the simple processed sugar, nor any of the wax, saturated fats, caffeine, fillers, food colorings or preservatives typically added to commercial chocolate.

Even chocolates that claim a 70% and higher cocoa content can't compare to Xocai . . . because they contain PROCESSED cocoa. That means that the antioxidant benefit has been enormously reduced!
