In its pure state, chocolate, or cacao, is quite nutrious, and inspires eudaimonia. There are number of varieties of cacao. Almost all commercial chocolate is made using beans of the Forastero Group. Another more prized cultivar, Criollo, is used by the top chocolate makers around the world. It is less bitter and more aromatic than any other bean.
See our explanation of different chocolate varieties here.
You can buy criollo chocolate powder from Amazon, and you can get criollo nibs here.
