SENSY Chocolate Ingredients
Organic Cocoa Liquor
After the cocoa beans are fermented and roasted they are shelled and ground. The result of this is a dark aromatic liquid that becomes solid powder at room temperature. This substance is called “Cocoa Liquor.” It is worthwhile mentioning that it has no alcohol in it. Cocoa Liquor is the basic ingredient for all cocoa products, and is the substance from which Cocoa Butter and Cocoa Powder are derived. For the making of Sensy Chocolate we use USDA Certified Organic Cocoa Liquor. By using this top quality ingredient we insure that the Cocoa is pure and contains no contaminants. In addition, this cocoa does not contain unwanted volatile gases, thus it does not require high temperature processing, hence maintaining its antioxidant and nutritional value at maximum.
Organic Cocoa Butter
Cocoa Liquor contains 45% - 55% of fat. When pressed through a filter, this polyunsaturated fat separates from the solids. The fat is called “Cocoa Butter” while the remaining solids
become after processing cocoa powder. We use USDA Certified Organic Cocoa Butter. It is
not processed and not deodorized, thus maintaining its full nutrient value. Cocoa Butter
provides high quality fatty acids that are essential when one is on a weight loss diet.
Xylitol
Xylitol is the nearest in chemical composition to Glucose. Unlike other sugar alcohols,
Xylitol does not load the liver. Some of the benefits of Xylitol are its ability to retard tooth decay bacteria as well as flu and cold virus. It does not increase blood sugar levels. It can penetrate the cell membrane without needing the aid of insulin, and once inside the cell it is
converted to glucose and used as an energy source. This is very important to people that suffer from insulin resistance such as Diabetics, Hypo- Glycemics, and Obese People. The xylitol that
we use is made in the USA from organically grown birch trees.
