That's what I thought the first time I heard that phrase: What? Healthy chocolate? How is that possible? In fact, raw cocoa beans can be considered a superfood, full of nutrients and antioxidants. However, the typical chocolate maker cooks these cocoa beans, burning off most of the nutrients, and adds lots and lots of sugar. If you've ever tasted raw cocoa beans, you would understand why sugar is a necessity. So most chocolate is considered candy because it is composed of cooked cocoa beans, lots of sugar, and sometimes milk. Personally, I have no problem with chocolate candy. It's delicious, and I eat it pretty much every day. How awesome would it be though if you can enjoy that taste of chocolate, but it is good for you too?
MXI Corp, makers of Xocai chocolate, has a specific manufacturing process that differs from all other chocolate companies. Instead of cooking the cocoa beans, they leave them raw, and instead of adding just plain sugar, they sweeten the chocolate with acai berries and other superfruits. Believe it or not, the chocolate tastes like any other dark chocolate, except it's also filled with antioxidants. MXI corp also sells other products that contain this chocolate (or the nutrients/flavonoids from it) such as a grape energy drink, which I drink a can of every day. It's great stuff. It seems too good to be true, but after consuming these products for more than a year now, I notice a difference in my overall energy level.
