KAKAW CHINIMITAL ORGANIC CEREMONIAL CACAO - 4 BLOCKS

The blocks are packaged in handwoven pouches, which carry cultural significance. The patterns on the weavings tell stories from the Maya nations. The pouches can be used to store crystals, sacred items or in whatever other way you dream to repurpose them. 

🤎No additives, just 100% cacao, means more variety in appearance & taste. It is normal for cacao blocks to vary in taste from batch to batch due to factors such as humidity, rain, soil conditions, etc. that vary from year to year, tree to tree & season to season. It as also normal for the appearance & shape of blocks to vary slightly. The appearance of white circles, called ‘cacao bloom’ 🌸 is typical on some blocks - indicating the presence of untempered natural fats within the cacao. 

Ceremonial cacao is not only safe during pregnancy & while breastfeeding, it is used  by Mayan midwives! Cacao is also a great plant ally for menstruating humans.

☕️ 🍫 HOW TO USE:
To prepare as a beverage, the cacao is chopped into small pieces so that it becomes easier to melt. The most basic recipe 👉🏼 Pre-boil water (or plant milk) & add on top of cacao only so much to barely cover the cacao chunks, then blend with a wood spoon until smooth. Add a bit more hot water little by little until the paste becomes liquidy. Then add as much more water as you like for your preferred thickness. To sweeten, we recommend natural allies like agave, honey, maple & date syrup. Spice it up as you like - our favorites are our Utz K’aslemal Mayan Cardamom; Cinnamon, Cayenne, Ginger, Nutmeg, Sea Salt, Turmeric & Vanilla.
