Why Do Heavy Metals in Cacao Matter?

Cacao can naturally contain trace amounts of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. Long-term exposure to these elements can raise health concerns, which is why understanding their levels in food matters.

At U-Chocolate, we believe great cacao deserves careful testing. That's why our organic cacao undergoes independent laboratory analysis for lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury. We share our results so you can make informed choices about the cacao you enjoy.

Chocolate straight from our farm

We're committed to growing and crafting exceptional cacao products and chocolate. Only the best chocolate can be created in ideal conditions, which is why sustainability is at the forefront of what we do.

Maintaining this natural balance is crucial to provide you chocolate that is not only healthy for you, but for the environment.

Easy ways to enjoy the cacao powder

Hot cacao

Real hot cacao: whisk 1–2 tbsp cacao powder with a splash of hot milk (or plant milk) into a smooth paste, then add 1 cup more hot milk and sweeten to taste. Add cinnamon or a pinch of chili for a twist.

Smoothies & oatmeal

Chocolate breakfast: blend 1 tbsp cacao powder with 1 banana, 1 cup milk and a handful of ice, or stir 1–2 tsp into your morning oatmeal with a drizzle of maple syrup.

Brownies & cakes

Baking tip: use it 1:1 in recipes that call for natural cocoa powder. For an even deeper chocolate flavor, whisk it with a little hot water or coffee before adding it to the batter.

Energy bites

No-bake bites: mix 1 cup oats, 1/2 cup seed butter, 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey and 2 tbsp cacao powder. Roll into balls and chill for 30 min.

FAQs

What makes non-alkalized cacao powder different?

It isn't Dutch-processed with alkali, so it keeps a deep, robust, true-cacao flavor and its natural character. It's simply our organic cacao, finely ground, with nothing added.

Is it sweetened?

No. It's 100% organic cacao powder, unsweetened and additive-free, so you control the sweetness in every recipe.

Can I use it instead of regular cocoa powder?

Yes. Use it 1:1 in recipes that call for natural cocoa powder. Its flavor is deeper and more intense, so in mild recipes you may want to start with a little less.

Is it kosher, gluten-free and vegan?

Yes. It's USDA Organic, kosher certified and vegan, and it's made in a dedicated facility free from the major allergens, including gluten, dairy and nuts.

Where does your cacao come from?

From our own certified organic farm, Hacienda Umbelina, near Pucallpa in the Peruvian Amazon. We grow, harvest, ferment and dry the beans ourselves, then turn them into powder.
