Functional cocoa powder with mushroom extracts and fibre

NoordCode Organic Power Cacao combines polyphenol-rich, raw organic Criollo cocoa with powerful mushroom extracts from KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms. Maca, Ceylon cinnamon, vanilla and inulin round out the formula for a functional and tasty cocoa powder. Delicious as a cocoa drink and excellent as an addition to (sweet) dishes.

High-quality, minimally processed Criollo cocoa

Criollo cocoa is known for its unique, rich flavour, which is held as the highest standard of quality. Only 5% of the world's cocoa comes from Criollo cocoa trees. Its production and processing are completely focused on maintaining its outstanding flavour, making this unique product hugely popular among cocoa lovers.

Bean-to-bar production

The cocoa powder in Power Cacao comes from Peru. NoordCode uses cocoa powder made according to the bean-to-bar concept. Bean-to-bar means that the chocolate producer controls all processing steps from the cocoa (bean) to the chocolate bar. The producer has a direct relationship with cocoa farmers and pays a fair price for cocoa. This allows farmers to focus on producing superior cocoa sustainably.

Maximum polyphenol retention through minimal processing

Cocoa beans are naturally rich in polyphenols and other beneficial compounds. The usual processing of cocoa beans into cocoa powder reduces the amount of polyphenols. Especially when roasting and alkalising cocoa, many polyphenols are lost.

NoordCode opts for maximum preservation of polyphenols by not roasting and alkalising the cocoa. This allows the cocoa to retain its natural flavour profile, which is very different from 'normal' cocoa powder. Raw cocoa has a lighter colour and more bitter flavours, which come from the polyphenols. You also taste some sour flavours because the cocoa is not alkalised. This together gives the cocoa powder more depth and a unique flavour.

Concentrated mushroom extracts from KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms

KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms is a Finnish producer of potent mushroom extracts. They use the fruiting bodies of organically grown or wild-picked mushrooms, where most of the useful substances can be found. Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE) gently breaks open the mushroom cells to extract as many useful substances from the mushrooms as possible. The extract of water and alcohol is then sprayed into a powder containing the useful mushroom substances. KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms' powder extracts are a perfect addition to NoordCode Organic Power Cacao in terms of function and flavour.

225 mg Lion's Mane extract

The Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) gets its name from the floppy spines reminiscent of a lion's mane. It is found in Europe, North America, and Asia and is traditionally used in China.

KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms grows Lion's Mane itself on birch logs organically.

Each serving of Power Cacao contains 225 mg of Lion's Mane extract.

135 mg Chaga extract

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is found in the northern regions of Europe and Asia and has been traditionally used there for centuries. The fungus grows mainly in birch trees and has a characteristic cracked, blackened appearance with a red-orange core.

KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms makes their extract with wild-harvested Chaga from Lapland, in northern Finland. Due to the cold winters and unpolluted nature, you can find the best quality and most effective chaga in Lapland.

Each serving of Power Cacao contains 135 mg of Chaga extract.

Organic Peruvian gelatinized maca

The organic maca we used for NoordCode Power Cacao is also of high quality. Traditionally grown maca from the Peruvian Andes is known as the best maca root on the market. It is gelatinised to make it easier to digest and therefore, has a lower starch content.

With functional and organic flavourings

The rich flavour of Criollo cocoa is combined with the sweetness of organic maca and inulin. Inulin is a prebiotic fibre that naturally has a sweet taste but does not affect your blood sugar levels. Hydrolysed inulin is used in NoordCode Organic Power Cacao, which reduces the risk of gas.

Ceylon cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a hint of sea salt offer an extra layer of deeper flavours. The mild sweetness comes with a low sugar content (just 1.2g per serving), making it suitable for all diets.

Organic and lab-tested

NoordCode Organic Power Cacao is completely organic and lab-tested free of mycotoxins, heavy metals and other contaminants. All ingredients are plant-based and suitable for vegans. Power Cacao fits into a paleo, ketogenic and low-carbohydrate diet. Power Cacao is free of gluten.
