WHAT’S INSIDE

Extreme powerful medicine

Why is Cacao
so effective?

Theobromine

Theobromine, a gentler, euphoric cousin to caffeine that revolutionizes your energy without the dreaded crash. Picture this: instead of a jolting rocket launch, Theobromine carries you on a serene, endless road trip of smooth, sustained vigor. Say goodbye to the jittery aftermath of caffeine highs. With Theobromine, your heart rate remains calm, your mood soars with serotonin-induced bliss, and your focus sharpens, effortlessly falling into a productive flow. Its vasodilatory superpowers flood your body with blood allowing for recovery and healing of inlfamation, fueling your body with oxygen and nutrients for an undeniable boost in endurance and cognition. The best part? Its longer half-life means this milder, yet profound, stimulant lingers, offering you a lasting embrace of energy without sacrificing your sleep to the gods of restlessness. Theobromine is where alertness meets tranquility, while providing a euphoric lift.

Cardiovascular health: Dilates blood vessels, lowering blood pressure naturally.

Improved cognition: Enhances focus, alertness, and cognitive function without jitteriness.

Antioxidant properties: Fights free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

Respiratory support: Acts as a bronchodilator, easing symptoms of asthma.

Anandamide

The bliss molecule also known as Anandamide, has the potential to revolutionize how we approach wellness and happiness. Cacao is one of the only known natural sources of Anandamide in the world. Our favorite thing about this compund is the long-lasting sensations of happiness and well-being.

Mood regulation: Promotes feelings of happiness, relaxation, and well-being.

Pain relief: Natural analgesic, reducing perception of pain sensations.

Neuroprotection: Supports brain health, aiding in nerve cell maintenance.

Appetite control: Helps regulate appetite and food intake levels.

Antioxidants

Cacao is LOADED with flavanols, which are compounds that fight free radicals (aka toxic cells in our body that kill healthy organs and grow diseases/cancer in our body). Cacao quite literally fights back against disease that could be building inside of your body. As is the case with many types of antioxidants these flavanols help to increase blood flow, enhance the vitality of your skin, support your brain health by improving brain plasticity, it promote the release of neurotransmitters that alleviate stress, and is one of the most powerful chemicals to fight against inflammation in the body.

Cellular protection: Guards cells from damage caused by oxidative stress.

Anti-aging effects: Helps combat signs of aging like wrinkles.

Disease prevention: Reduces risk of chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes.

Immune system support: Strengthens immunity by neutralizing harmful free radicals.

Minerals

Minerals are literally the backbone of life. Cacao is loaded with them.

Magnesium supports heart health, aids in the regulation of blood pressure, and is essential for strong bones. It also plays a key role in reducing stress and anxiety

Iron: Essential for Energy and Immunity

Zinc: The Immune Booster, wound healing, and DNA synthesis

Copper: Supports Neurological Health

Ancient wisdom - Modern medicine

Once revered by the Mayans, Aztecs, and other Mesoamerican civilizations, cacao was more than a mere indulgence. It served as a cornerstone in their economic, social, and spiritual lives—used not just as a cherished beverage but also as currency and in sacred ceremonies.

Today, science has shown us how spot-on these ancient civilizations were in using this medicine in all aspects of life and combining the ancient wisdom of our ancestors with modern-day science.

FAQS

What is cacao?

Cacao refers to the raw, unprocessed beans (and their derivatives) sourced from the Theobroma cacao tree. Often called the “food of the gods,” cacao beans are the foundation for chocolate-making, but in their purer form, they’re revered for their robust flavor and potential health benefits. At Non Fungible Mushrooms, our Chuncho Cacao from Peru retains many of its naturally occurring antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals due to minimal processing.

Does cacao have caffeine?

Yes, cacao contains a small amount of caffeine, though typically less than coffee. It also provides theobromine, a compound similar to caffeine but with a milder, more sustained energy boost. Most people experience smoother, less jittery stimulation from raw cacao compared to coffee, making it a popular alternative for those seeking balanced energy.

Is cacao powder good for you?

High-quality, minimally processed cacao powder can be a nutritious addition to your diet. It often contains antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and compounds like theobromine, which may support mood and cardiovascular health. Our Chuncho Cacao at Non Fungible Mushrooms preserves much of the natural goodness found in raw beans. As with any food, moderation is key—cacao can be caloric and still contains stimulants.

How to pronounce cacao?

Cacao is pronounced “kah-KOW.” The emphasis is on the second syllable, giving it a distinct sound compared to “cocoa,” which is typically pronounced “KO-ko.” The term “cacao” generally refers to the raw bean or minimally processed products, while “cocoa” often describes more heavily processed derivatives.

Is cacao powder good for you?

Yes—reiterating from above, raw cacao powder is prized for its high antioxidant content, naturally occurring minerals (like magnesium and iron), and potential mood-enhancing compounds. Our Chuncho Cacao is minimally processed to retain these beneficial nutrients. Enjoying it in moderation is the best way to reap its advantages while avoiding excessive caloric or stimulant intake.

Is cacao a superfood?

Many people classify raw cacao as a “superfood” because of its dense nutrient profile, including polyphenols, flavanols, and essential minerals. These components can offer antioxidant support and may contribute to overall well-being. In Mesoamerican culture, cacao has been celebrated for centuries for its energizing and healthful properties, and modern research continues to explore its potential benefits.

Is pure cacao safe?

Generally, yes—pure cacao is safe for most healthy adults when consumed in moderation. However, it does contain stimulants like caffeine and theobromine, so individuals sensitive to these substances should start with small amounts. If you have specific health concerns or are pregnant or nursing, consult a healthcare professional before introducing cacao into your diet.

What is cacao powder?

Cacao powder is produced by cold-pressing raw cacao beans and separating out most of the fat (cacao butter). The result is a finer, nutrient-rich powder that retains many naturally occurring antioxidants, minerals, and beneficial compounds. At Non Fungible Mushrooms, our Chuncho Cacao from Peru is an excellent example of minimally processed raw cacao powder, preserving the unique flavors and potential health benefits rooted in traditional cultivation

What is Chuncho Cacao from Peru?

Chuncho Cacao is an ancient, heirloom variety of cacao grown in select regions of Peru. Known for its robust flavor and nutrient-rich profile, it’s often considered a Mesoamerican superfood. Unlike mass-produced cocoa, Chuncho is carefully cultivated by local farmers, preserving traditional techniques for pure raw cacao. At Non Fungible Mushrooms, we highlight this cacao’s rich heritage and unique health benefits in our offering.

How does Chuncho Cacao differ from regular cocoa powder?

Regular cocoa powder often undergoes high-heat processing, which can reduce its nutritional value. Chuncho Cacao from Peru, on the other hand, is minimally processed to retain naturally occurring antioxidants, minerals, and flavor compounds. This results in a more potent, raw cacao powder that offers deeper taste nuances and potential health benefits. If you’re looking for authentic flavor and higher nutrient density, Chuncho is an ideal choice.

Is raw cacao chocolate healthier than typical chocolate bars?

Yes, raw cacao chocolate generally contains more antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals compared to traditional chocolate bars, which often include added sugars, dairy, and artificial flavors. By preserving the cacao bean’s natural composition, raw cacao offers a richer, more complex flavor and potential wellness perks. Our Chuncho variety specifically aims to deliver a purer, more robust cacao experience.

What makes Chuncho Cacao a “Mesoamerican superfood”?

Cacao has been revered for centuries in Mesoamerican cultures for its energizing and mood-enhancing effects. Chuncho Cacao’s rich soil and indigenous farming practices in Peru elevate its nutritional profile, making it a prime example of a Mesoamerican superfood. At Non Fungible Mushrooms, we celebrate this heritage by providing cacao that remains true to its ancestral roots.

How do I use raw Chuncho Cacao in my daily routine?

There are endless possibilities: ● Hot Chocolate: Grate or melt the cacao in warm milk or a plant-based alternative. ● Smoothies: Blend a chunk of pure cacao for extra flavor and nutrients. ● Baking: Substitute regular chocolate with Chuncho for a richer, less processed option. ● Healthy Snacks: Create energy bites by combining raw cacao with nuts, dates, or seeds.

Does raw cacao provide energy without jitters?

Yes. Raw cacao contains theobromine—a mild stimulant that offers a smoother energy boost than caffeine. Most people experience heightened alertness and a subtle lift in mood, often described as “euphoric.” This makes raw cacao chocolate a popular choice for those seeking sustained energy without the crash typically associated with coffee or energy drinks.

Is Chuncho Cacao from Peru ethically sourced?

At Non Fungible Mushrooms, we prioritize fair labor practices and small-scale farms that follow sustainable cultivation methods. Chuncho Cacao grows naturally in the Peruvian jungle, relying on environmentally conscious farming. By partnering directly with local farmers, we help ensure our pure raw cacao meets both ethical and quality standards.

How is raw cacao powder different from cocoa powder in terms of flavor?

Raw cacao powder usually tastes more intense, earthy, and slightly bitter, reflecting the true essence of the cacao bean. Traditional cocoa powder is often alkalized (“Dutch-processed”), which can neutralize much of the natural tanginess and complexity. If you enjoy bold, authentic chocolate flavor, raw cacao powder like Chuncho is likely to be more satisfying.

Does Chuncho Cacao support mood and mental clarity?

Many people report feeling calmer and more focused after consuming raw cacao, thanks to theobromine, anandamide (often called the “bliss molecule”), and other beneficial compounds. These elements may encourage neurotransmitter production, thus providing mild mood elevation. While not a substitute for professional care, Chuncho Cacao from Peru can be a delightful part of an overall mood-support strategy.

Can Chuncho Cacao be part of a weight management plan?

Yes, when consumed in moderation. The fiber and nutrients in raw cacao chocolate can help curb cravings and increase satiety. However, calorie content still applies, so balance is key. Incorporating Chuncho into a nutrient-dense diet alongside exercise may support overall well-being and help manage weight more effectively than heavily processed sweets.

Does Chuncho Cacao offer any antioxidant benefits?

Absolutely. Raw cacao is naturally rich in polyphenols and flavanols—antioxidants linked to reduced oxidative stress and potential heart health benefits. By minimally processing Chuncho Cacao, we help preserve these compounds, allowing you to experience its nutritional potency. Regular consumption may support general health, but always pair it with a balanced lifestyle.

Can I use Chuncho Cacao if I have caffeine sensitivity?

Most individuals with mild caffeine sensitivity can tolerate theobromine in cacao better than coffee. The stimulant effect tends to be gentler and longer-lasting. If you’re extremely sensitive, start with a smaller portion of pure cacao to gauge your body’s response. Listening to your body’s cues is essential to enjoying cacao without overstimulation.

How does Chuncho Cacao compare to ceremonial cacao?

Ceremonial cacao typically refers to cacao prepared in traditional ways for spiritual or ritual use, often with minimal processing. Chuncho Cacao from Peru shares a similar ethos, retaining natural qualities and robust flavor. While “ceremonial” is a cultural distinction, Chuncho can be used in ceremonial contexts or simply enjoyed as a raw cacao powder with a high standard of purity.

Is it safe to consume raw cacao during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Raw cacao can offer nutritional benefits, but pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare provider before adding raw cacao chocolate or powder to their diets. Cacao does contain stimulants like theobromine, so each person’s tolerance can vary. A professional can help determine whether Chuncho Cacao aligns with your individual needs and health goals.

What’s the best way to store Chuncho Cacao for freshness?

Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. An airtight container helps protect your raw cacao from humidity and absorbing odors. Some people even refrigerate their cacao, especially in warmer climates. Proper storage preserves flavor, texture, and the beneficial compounds that make Chuncho Cacao from Peru such a rewarding culinary and wellness addition.
