Xocai Chocolate – what it can do for you
The cocoa pod is a fruit full of juice and between 300-6800 seeds. These seeds are the most nutrient dense food we know of. The seeds contain over 300 nutrients that we need.
The nutrients in these seeds are usually destroyed with processing BUT Xocai has identified a special patent protected process that maintains all these nutrients and in their full natural concentrations.
Vitamins, minerals, all the amino acids (essential & non-essential) fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, anti-oxidants (2x more than acai berry) BUT Xocai chocolate also contains acai berry and blueberry
What do these nutrients do for you? Besides taste great?
