CHOCOCRU® Extraordinary Antioxidant Chocolate and Cocoa Products
A Note from the Founder and Company Director.
We believe that there are important horizons ahead with the research
into the importance of flavanol antioxidants in cocoa. CHOCOCRU®
Extraordinary Antioxidant Cocoa is the successful outcome of years
of research into ways of preserving cocoa flavanols and is used
to make CHOCOCRU® Extraordinary Antioxidant Chocolate.
CHOCOCRU® Extraordinary Antioxidant Cocoa is a delicious cocoa.
Unlike most standard cocoa powders it is uniquely high in flavanols
- maintaining 80% of the flavanols of the cocoa bean. Each 5g teaspoon
provides 415mg flavanol antioxidants.
CHOCOCRU® Extraordinary Antioxidant Cocoa, unlike standard cocoas,
is non – alkalised. It is produced naturally and carefully, to
promote the stability and preservation of the richest known source
of flavanol antioxidants, which are found in the cocoa bean. Typical
alkalization involved in conventional cocoa making is one stage
in the production process which contributes to a reduction of flavanols
. CHOCOCRU® Extraordinary Antioxidant Cocoa, does NOT include this
stage in production process.
CHOCOCRU® Extraordinary Antioxidant Cocoa is also fat reduced,
containing only 11% cocoa butter compared to the average 24% cocoa
butter found in standard cocoas.
Cocoa flavanols are considered to be the most powerful antioxidants
in existence, with wide ranging benefits. Already there have been
impressive and interesting studies indicating the beneficial capacity
of flavanol rich cocoa. This has directed the way for ongoing research,
fuelled by encouraging results in the fields of cognition, cardiovascular
and skin health. Each new piece of research, paves the way for
more questions, research fields and more accuracy in methodology,
which may lead to future significant studies indicating the positive
benefits not only of cocoa flavanols, but of the hundreds of other
chemical compounds found naturally in the cocoa bean.
