Cacao is more than a source of flavanols. It also contains unique neuroactive compounds that influence brain signaling, mood, and motivation.

✨ Anandamide (AEA)

• Natural endocannabinoid found in cacao
• Supports calm focus & mood 🌿
• Cacao compounds slow its breakdown → longer effect

⚡ Phenylethylamine (PEA)

• Supports dopamine & motivation
• Linked to alertness and mental drive 🧠
• Not a stimulant, no crash

Cacao combines antioxidant protection + neuroactive compounds — supporting both cellular health and brain performance.

You can purchase our one of a kind ceremonial grade cacao infused with wild harvested maya nut and log grown mushrooms online at Nikko cacao.com

Cacao helps bring people together…..

I’ve been guiding cacao ceremonies for 12 years now and I’ve always held this one belief about why these small rituals can have so much impact

Wherever there is 2, there is god

Sometimes, when we are alone, we can’t fully process our experience. We need to be heard, seen, felt, observed for it to really click.

We are undeniably social creatures

Connecting in intentional, ritual spaces allows for a deeper interpersonal connection, not because of the facilitator, but because of something unexplainable…..

Maybe it’s gathering with like minded people
Maybe it’s the deep centered inner connectedness made possible from the practice
Maybe you’ve just had enough and need some kind of outlet

Whatever it is, we hope to see you at the stellar event happening tommorow !

Little story to convey just one of the “challenges“ that founders face on the daily

We were scheduled to sample our products in Orem last Wednesday from 12 to 2

My partner and I walked in to see that there was another company sampling a similar product. chocolate bars

my immediate thought was “we can’t sample today because someone’s already in here and they’re selling a similar product“ and my sweet partner was like “we can have two vendors selling a similar product. Not a big deal”

We notified the staff, and they typically only allow one vendor at a time.

As the staff was notifying the other vendor that they need to leave so we could set up our sample booth, I went over and intervened.

I said “why don’t we just set up our tables right next to each other and we can both do our thing. There’s no problem and we’re both selling a similar product anyhow. There’s room for both of us.

What appeared to be a problem turned out to be a great time where we actually got to connect as founders and promote our products together with good vibes (no competition)

The obstacle is the way my friends

What’s the deeper purpose of Cacao?

What if I told you it’s not just a health food or a super food that offers promising health benefits?

What if it’s a food placed here by caring, benevolent beings to help keep the hearts of humanity awake and alive …..

My personal belief is that Cacao is a sacred food that Fosters heart opening connection to ourselves and other people

I find this to be a perfect antidote for today’s world where modern technology can keep us stuck in the head, out of connection to the body.

Power of our hearts should not be forgotten or overlooked. Our hearts emit a huge field that is much more powerful than the brain and we often forget how to connect with people emotionally, with presence. I think Cacao can be an amazing tool for fostering connection.

I believe it helps us remember our authentic self through this heart connection and this is what the world needs. It’s so easy to be influenced by the stories and opinions of others, but when you feel connected to yourself and your own heart and emotional state, it’s harder to lose yourself.

Cheers ☕️

Cacao isn’t candy.
It’s one of the most misunderstood plant foods on the planet.

For thousands of years, cacao was used as a functional, ceremonial, heart-opening food — not a sugar delivery system.

Modern chocolate changed cacao.
But cacao itself never changed.

Here’s the truth ⤵️

Most “chocolate” today is:
• Highly processed
• Loaded with sugar
• Stripped of minerals & polyphenols

It spikes energy, crashes mood, and trains your nervous system to crave—not regulate.

Pure ceremonial cacao is different.

When cacao is minimally processed and enjoyed without refined sugar, it is:

🔥Rich in magnesium for nervous system support
🔥Packed with polyphenols that support blood flow & brain health
🔥Naturally supportive of serotonin & dopamine pathways

This is cacao as food, not candy.

Ceremonial cacao isn’t a stimulant like coffee.

Instead, it works subtly:
• Calm energy
• Mental clarity
• Emotional openness
• Heart-centered focus

Especially powerful during stress, creative work, or hormonal shifts.

This is a relationship — not a quick fix.

How to enjoy cacao simply:

☕ Calming Cacao Elixir
• 2 tbsp ceremonial cacao
• 1 cup hot water or milk of choice
• Maple syrup or honey to taste
• Pinch of sea salt
• Optional: pinch of cayenne

Whisk or blend.
Sip slowly.
Drink with intention.

Have you caught the cacao bug ?

What you need to know about Ceremonial Cacao (dark chocolate) and its genus name, THEOBROMA CACAO👇👇👇

1. Theobromine found in dark chocolate can help you age better

In 2025, researchers at Kings College London found that a natural ingredient in dark chocolate called theobromine is associated with signs of biological youth meaning people with higher levels of it in their blood looked younger on molecular measures than their actual age.

Biological age reflects how well a person’s body is functioning rather than the number of years they have lived. This measure is based on DNA methylation, a collection of tiny chemical tags on DNA that shift as we grow older.

2. The genus name for Cacao is Theobroma Cacao given by Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1753. Translated from Greek, theobroma literally means food of the gods. This is one of the most revealing scientific names in botany. Linneus intentionally elevated Cacao by placing it in a genus that implies sacred nourishment, not just agriculture.

Isn’t it interesting how modern science often seems to validate what the ancients knew based on their usage and cultural context of cacao

WHY OUR BRAND EXISTS 👇👇👇

What needs to change: People deserve to know and experience the real health benefits of pure, minimally, processed chocolate, or cacao, which differs greatly from conventional chocolate which is more processed (it has no healthy fats, and is exposed to high heat or chemicals like alkali)

When I first discovered pure cacao in 2011, I thought everyone should know about this kind of cacao, Not the traditional candy bars or processed hot chocolate powders.

My introduction to cacao was untraditional. This was ‘ceremonial cacao’ like how the ancients had it. Pure. Minimally Processed. Made with Traditional methods. A food & medicine for the heart. A sort of external permission slip to drop into the heart space.

The big gap I saw was that people simply didn’t know that this kind of cacao is available, so I made it my mission to tell everyone.

Over the years, I’ve introduced thousands of people to pure cacao simply because pure cacao is better than processed chocolate.

Enjoying some Cacao before we hit the slopes

I’ve personally used Cacao as a “performance enhancer“ for snowboarding for over a decade now.

The magnesium is great for the taxing load on the muscles

A sweet mood boost for bringing that mountain stoke

And the cozy warm chocolatey vibes

What’s your favorite food to enjoy on the mountain ?
