Ingredients & Purity

Contains only organic cacao beans, organic cane sugar, organic maple sugar, and organic cacao butter. No emulsifiers like soy or sunflower lecithin.

Scientific Evidence

Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified. Raaka publishes annual transparency reports detailing every single cacao purchase and price paid to farmers.

Brand Transparency

Full traceability to the Zorzal Cacao estate in the Dominican Republic. COAs and heavy metal testing are conducted internally and monitored for compliance with Prop 65.

Value Assessment

Premium pricing reflects the high cost of unroasted, single-origin heirloom cacao and the ethical pay structure for farmers.

Why Not Alternatives?

Unlike Lindt or Godiva, Raaka avoids roasting, which can degrade heat-sensitive polyphenols. They also eschew soy lecithin and natural flavors found in mass-market 'dark' chocolates.
