Organic Raw Cacao Powder, 2.2 lb, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Kosher, Vegan, Dairy-Free, No Added Sugar, Made from Raw Cacao Beans, Rich Chocolate Flavor, Ideal for Baking & Beverages

I love this Yupiik Organic Raw Cocoa Powder so much! I'm sitting here, upon this morning during our nationwide cold snap, cozying up to sip a delicious tasting cup of rich, creamy hot chocolate. I also know it's good for me, nutrition-wise, so it doesn't get any better than this. Delicious and nutritious. I'm impressed with the quality of this cacao. I've bought a few others around, and the Yupik is one of the best I've tried. In my opinion, it is a successful marriage of quality, value and taste. I very much appreciate the fact it's organic and raw cocoa. It is the expected creamy chocolate color in the cup, so no surprises there. The texture is light and fine, with no large clumps. The bag is huge, it is a very generous amount indeed. I haven't yet made any baked goods with this, so I can't vouch for it's baking ability. I'm looking forward to baking with it someday as it would be fun. I have made some delicious smoothies. It mixes very cleanly and completely into my smoothies without chalkiness or graininess. For all these reasons I'm happy to recommend this cocoa with five stars. Thank You!

There is a comment here that this product is not pure and is 85% fillers. This is untrue. The 14-16% on the label refers to cacao butter/fat content. This is appropriate for a dry shelf stable powder. If you want a higher % look for Ceremonial Grade. However, it is not as shelf stable and can go rancid if you plan to keep it for long periods. I use this Yupik powder to create an amazing product containing many other nutritious powdered foods and this is clean, pure, organic and raw and delicious tasting and suits my needs.

Great value for the quality. It blends very well in protein smoothies for a very rich taste. I have ordered Cacao and several large bags of nuts and Yupik’s quality is fantastic every time!

***updated review after doing research*** Yupik does have a rich taste in hot chocolate but in cold beverages I think it lacks a rich flavor compared to my previous brand. But keep in mind... + Yupik has an ideal fat ratio. My previous brand, BBF, lists zero total fat on their nutrition panel. Higher fat cacao cannot dissole well at lower temperatures. This likely accounts for a different flavor experience between brands. + Yupik is 100% organic raw cacao. The percentage listed in the ingredients is the percentage of naturally occurring fat in the cacao, NOT the percentage of cacao compared to other ingredients as there are none. That fat percentage is ideal. + It's grown in Peru, which is good. + A reviewer commented on lead content. Keep in mind all cacao, no matter what brand, contains small amounts of lead because soil contains lead. Other foods such as rice also contain lead & other undesirables. + Yupik needs to clarify the ingredient list to eliminate confusion about what the percentage numbers refer to. Yupik the brand you want, but best to base it on accurate information.

I purchased the 2.2 lb bag and must say it’s a nice sized bag although it definitely wasn’t full and should have been. It will last a while the way that I use it. The taste is mild and not overbearing and so is the smell for someone who really isn’t a chocolate/cocoa fan. I got it for health reasons and am able to mix this with my other ingredients and consume it without being grossed out since the flavor is not strong and therefore is easily masked. This brand will definitely be my go to so long as pricing and quality stays within reason.

Very good unsweetened chocolate flavor...use in coffee daily and made chocolate sourdough starter with it. Great chocolate chocolate chip cookies 🍪 with the starter!

I like how it isn't treated with an alkaline solution to neutralize its acidity. Yet it tastes the same. Just another way to poison us. Great deal! Great everything!

This is less processed than the cocoa I had been using earlier as an addition to coffee. Works well in combination with other coffee additives like cream, collagen, etc. If you like straight black coffee you'll find the taste is still good and strong or if you like the candy style my gf drinks (sugar and cream) it's a really great addition there too. It's excellent in flavored coffee like butter rum, toffee, hazelnut etc.
