DARK CHOCOLATE – truly good for your MIND & BODY

Not only is quality dark chocolate is very nutritious -- rich in fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium, but based upon the superfood properties of Cacao, dark chocolate has many proven health and anti-aging benefits including:

Improved Heart & Overall Health: it’s a powerful source of antioxidants and is particularly high in flavonoids and polyphenols - which provide protection against disease-causing free radicals. Plus, the cocoa butter found in dark chocolate contains healthy saturated fats (the same as found in olive oil). The impact is that Dark Chocolate helps your body reduce inflammation, protect cells from free radicals, lower blood pressure, increases the ‘good’ HDL cholesterol, and reduce the effects of the ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol by preventing it from being oxidized.

Improved Brain Health and Happiness: Besides increasing blood flow to the brain for improved cognitive and memory function, dark chocolate has been proven to affect your mood and mental attitude in various ways. It boosts the production of endorphins - the ‘feel good’ chemicals in the brain - leading to a better sense of well-being - like a “runner’s high.” It’s also a top dietary source of tryptophan, an amino acid precursor to serotonin, the neurotransmitter of happiness and positive mood. It acts as an anti-depressant and is known to help reduce pain and diminish the negative effects of stress. Lastly, dark chocolate contains phenylethylamine, a compound called the “love drug” because it creates a brain buzz similar to being in love. Along with theobromine, another compound found in chocolate that’s related to caffeine, they are believed to make chocolate a mild aphrodisiac, and can help prevent depression.

And finally, a little known but proven benefit is Gut Health. Dark chocolate contains prebiotics – meaning it increases the beneficial bacteria in your intestines. It helps to keep the good bacteria levels high and bad bacteria in check.

So feel free to INDULGE without the Guilt…

The times are challenging enough….. Your chocolate shouldn’t be!

Clean Conscience Chocolates is excited to announce 2 new products available on Fall Line Farms / Local Roots starting next week. First off is our Raw Superfood Bark. Following the success of our Nut & Seed Bark, we decided to create a bark for those truly hardcore dark chocolate lovers. So, starting with a thick layer of our 70% Raw Dark Chocolate, we sprinkle a mix of raw goldenberries (a.k.a. cape gooseberries or Peruvian groundcherries) and Cacao Nibs (the purest form of chocolate) to create a very unique and carefully blended taste. Widely respected in the Ayurveda world, goldenberries and cacao nibs are known as some of the most nutrient-dense superfoods (along with cacao).

Secondly, to help our customers sustain their Clean Conscience fix during these trying times, we have launched our latest boxed set – the Clean Conscience Survival Kit. Our Survival Kit has 1 each of all of our individually wrapped products: Peanut Butter Cup, Almond Butter Cup, Coconut Joy, Peppermint Patty, Raw Nut & Seed Bark and Raw Superfood Bark - for a total of 6 items. And as with all of our packaging and boxes, its Clean & Green!

'Tree to Bar' - the world's only Biodynamic-certified Chocolate

The chocolate we use as the foundation for all of our snacks is very unique. It’s a 70% Single-Origin Raw chocolate (from Pacari of Ecuador) which means it’s minimally processed (dried naturally by the sun) so that the chocolate retains the maximum amount of nutrients for the most health benefits - plus it's also what gives it its unique floral and citrus notes that you won't find in other chocolate. Most importantly, it is the world’s only Biodynamic-certified chocolate, which basically means that it’s a step above organic and fair-trade. Pacari has been certified for using sustainable and environmentally-friendly practices in their entire supply chain - from the holistic farming methods used by their local farmers up through the processing and manufacture of the chocolate itself - from 'tree to bar'.
