Pink Sea Salt 71% Unroasted Chocolate
Raaka utilizes an 'unroasted' process that preserves the natural polyphenols and fruity flavor profiles of the bean. They are industry leaders in 'Transparent Trade,' publishing exactly what they pay farmers, which is significantly above Fair Trade minimums.
Ingredients & Purity
Uses organic cacao beans, organic cane sugar, organic maple sugar, and organic cocoa butter. The inclusion of maple sugar adds a unique mineral depth.
Scientific Evidence
Organic and Kosher certified. Evidence of quality is found in their annual Transparency Reports rather than clinical trials.
Brand Transparency
They publish the exact price paid per metric ton for every lot of beans purchased, providing a level of financial transparency that is rare in the industry.
Value Assessment
High price point for a 50g bar, but justified by the ethical 'Transparent Trade' premiums paid to farmers.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most chocolate brands roast beans to mask defects; Raaka's unroasted process requires higher quality raw beans. Their transparency reports are more detailed than almost any other consumer chocolate brand.
