Flavanols are naturally occurring compounds in cacao. They can support healthy blood flow by helping the body produce nitric oxide, which relaxes and widens blood vessels. Flavanols also have antioxidant activity. These effects may help maintain alertness, focus, and mental clarity, making them a natural part of a daily routine aimed at supporting attentive and focused cognitive performance. Many people enjoy Mindkore cacao not only for its rich flavor, but also for it's supportive role in their daily mental routine. Some find that it can contribute to a subtle uplift in mood, promoting a sense of well-being and enjoyment while consuming it.

Our cacao comes from carefully selected plantations where the focus goes beyond standard cultivation. Most cacao processing does not preserve flavanol content, making high-flavanol cacao very rare. We work directly with these plantations, where multiple on-site tests are conducted to measure flavanol levels before the beans are harvested and processed. This meticulous approach ensures that Mindkore cacao is not only rich in flavanols but also truly unique, offering a rare and exceptional experience for those who value quality and cognitive support in their daily routine.

Use the scoop to measure (for example) 5 grams. You can place the powder directly in your mouth and swallow, or take it with a small amount of water (though it won’t mix perfectly). For a smoother experience, mix it into yogurt, blend it into a smoothie, or sprinkle it over your food. Cacao combines especially well with foods that contain some fat, which helps it blend more evenly and enhances the taste.

Yes. Mindkore cacao is suitable for vegans and most common dietary restrictions. Our cacao is made without any animal-derived ingredients. Our cacao contains no gluten, no soy, and contains no milk or other animal fats. It's produced in a facility that also handles nuts, soy, and dairy, but strict procedures minimize cross-contamination, making it very safe for allergic customers.

Yes, we do ship internationally, but only when purchasing 9 pouches or more. We make international shipping costs a little bit cheaper by asking for €25 from the customer, while we pay for the remaining shipping costs. That way we can still show our appreciation for buying in bulk. Of course, you will also get a 9% discount on top of a large order like that!

Mindkore cacao is carefully processed to maintain its naturally high flavanol levels. The beans are harvested from select plantations and undergo minimal intervention during fermentation and drying, helping to retain their natural compounds. Our cacao is unsweetened, unalkalized (undutched), and minimally processed, which preserves both flavor and flavanol content. Each batch is handled with precision to ensure the beans’ natural profile is intact, making Mindkore cacao rare, potent, and ideal for those seeking a pure, high-flavanol experience.

Store Mindkore cacao in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Our pouch has a zip lock to keep it sealed and maintain freshness. Thanks to our careful processing, the cacao remains shelf-stable for a long time. When unopened, it stays good for up to 24 months. Once opened, consume it within 12 months for best flavor and quality. With daily use, you can even stock up significantly. For example, at 5 grams per day, you could theoretically store over 3.5 kilograms and consume it before the expiration date. Always reseal the bag tightly after each use.

Yes, you can still place an order. If we are fully out of stock, then sales went quicker than expected, leading to a temporary stock exhaustion. Rest assured that we already ordered the next batch, which will arrive soon. If you do an order when we're still out of stock, then we will prioritize your order as soon as we have cacao back in store. And as a thank you, we will refund 5% of your total order price as soon as the order is placed. During the shipping of our new batch, we will also keep you updated, as we would never want you to worry about your order.
