I grew up on and raised my own children using Hersheys powdered cocoa, as did my mother and grandmothers. However, after recently reading about the toxins found in multiple brands of chocolate (including Hersheys!), and over-20 brands of cinnamon, I searched for brands that will not put toxins into my grandchildren. I cannot do anything about all the chocolate candy out there, but I can control what I make and feed to my grandchildren.Navitas Organics Cacao Powder was one of the few, if not the only, brand tested that does not contain a toxin. It is carried in the granola-style grocery stores. I ordered it from Whole Foods via Amazon. It is high-quality. I have baked with it and made pudding with it and it is delicious.

I choose Navitas brand Cacao because it is great tasting and lower in contaminants.

Excellent thank ypu

According to a 2023 Consumer Reports testing program ("A Third of Chocolate Products Are High in Heavy Metals, CR's Tests Find" - October 25, 2023), Navitas cacao powder had the lowest levels of lead and cadmium among the cacao powders they tested. I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because there are a couple other brands of cacao powder that taste better. I've used cacao powder daily for 20+ years in my coffee and have tried about a dozen different brands. After reading the CR article, I will be sticking with Navitas. [Several years ago Healthworks sold the best-tasting cacao powder; nothing else since has come close. Used it for a couple years. Then one day they changed the packaging and I also noticed the powder didn't taste as good. And the Healthworks cacao powder in the new package was also lighter in color and more brown, whereas the original Healthworks was darker and redder. I miss the old Healthworks taste; no bitter aftertaste that ALL other cacao powders have to some degree. But it also probably had higher levels of lead & cadmium compared to Navitas. ]

This is outstanding cacao powder that is non-alkalised, which means it’s better for health. This is a rich tasting cacao powder that we use for EVERYTHING including hot chocolates daily, smoothies, oatmeal, and baking. We don’t buy any other.

I love everything about this product and the benefits of cacao.

Whole foods rips off. Thought it was a Leader discount. But should have known better as 5 major Shareholder/Directors of Whole Foods & Monsanto too. They buy out organic stores then run them into the ground. Are they after the organic manufactures now??

This product supplements my healthy eating habits. It's a good nutrition and energy source.
