• funny isn’t it, I used to think trying to make a meal that was cooked vegi/vegan and would please a meat eater (by adding meat to his bit or just vegi but he liked it) was hard enough, now it’s impossible! I think if I can get to 60-70% (as describe…

• Hello all! Clr I think from looking at DYW website that shazzies raw cacao powder does sound raw, she has info about how high the temp is allowed to go during pressing and grinding, so for me I would belive their stuff is properly raw. I think Chris…
