in the entire marketplace here on #madeira there is only one cacao based product that is any good, label says "chocolate pepitas" and it's from a brand "pantagruel" they come in 200g bags of little pure cacao and are like 57% fat no added sugar just cacao

everything else is at least 15% pure sucrose, typical is more like 40%, it's disgusting

i've ordered a 2kg (4lb) batch of cacao butter because of this... the non-fat component of cacao has lots of good things in it but it is also full of natural carbohydrates, the fat is where the real magic comes from, 1/3 of it is stearic acid, same as in beef tallow, and this and the other things in the fats are the core of what makes it a good food

in The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya they talk about a dude who tried eating a diet purely of croissants with pure cacao (like those pepitas) and his health radically improved even with the wheaty shit in the mix, and i can believe it

beef tallow is amazing too but i think there is some extra neat things in cacao, that are neither in tallow nor in coconut oil
