Mayan organic ceremonial Cacao (1 Lb Fresh Ground)

100% pure Mayan organic ceremonial ceremonial cacao powder, artisanally prepared by indigenous mothers in Mayan Guatemala. We share with you our authentically presented zip-close bag containing 1lb of fresh ground cacao; finely grating our cacao paste blocks into rich and delicious shreds of heaven made from the ‘Drink of the Gods’!

Mayan organic ceremonial Cacao beans are sourced directly from our farmers in Alta Verapaz; the highlands of Central Guatemala, where the fruits of the cacao trees are harvested and the beans extracted, fermented, and dried, ready for our team of Mayan mothers to work their loving magic! In the home of cacao in San Marcos La Laguna, Lake Atitlan, our cacao beans are roasted, hand-peeled, and ground into a paste before then being molded into the blocks of 100% pure cacao and finely grated to create a form of cacao that brings you to ease, convenience and delight!    

Cacao (Kah-kaw) was first grown in Central and South America during the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. It was used ceremonially as an offering to the Ancient Gods and was valued so highly that it was also a standard unit of currency in Mesoamerican native cultures.    

Cacao has been enjoyed for thousands of years for its health-promoting qualities. It is a heart opener and womb healer. It gives a mental and emotional lift and provides vital nutrients such as iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, vitamins A, B1, C, D, and E, antioxidants, and flavonoids. It is indeed a sacred superfood!

*100% Natural  *Unsweetened  *Vegan  *Gluten-Free  *Dairy-Free  *Soy-Free

Maya Moon Cacao promotes fair trade and provides a dignified wage to our Mayan mothers. We deliver directly to you, without middlemen! 

ORDER NOW and enjoy a delicious hot chocolate or add it to your favorite smoothie, dessert, or recipe.

Beware of packaging- the squirrels smelled the cacao through the shipping package and were gorging themselves by the time we got home a few hours after UPS dropped it - would suggest shipping to a work address so it doesn’t get delivered when your not home !!

Favorite Part of My Day

Maya Moon Cacao has become the favorite part of my day. The rich flavor of the cacao along with a splash of organic A2 cream pairs perfectly. It is so relaxing to sit down and enjoy either morning or at the end of the day.

An Exceptional Taste of Cacao

Whether you’re a chocolate connoisseur or just beginning to explore high-quality cacao, this is truly the best taste you can find—deep, natural, and unforgettable..

Worth Every Penny

Actually it's priceless: cacao traditionally grown, harvested, fermented, peeled and roasted in its native land by adults making a living while keeping their culture alive. Cocoa from the African continent where child slave labor keeps the prices down makes me physically ill. Thank you Maya Moon for your good strong work, the care and stewardship is evident in your superior products. I will continue to support your business while treating myself to authentic, nutritious cacao.
