What is cocoa shell?
The cocoa shell is the outer shell of the cocoa bean, which is removed during the roasting process. Although it was long considered a by-product of cocoa, today we know it has a high nutritional value and a smooth, pleasant flavor, with natural chocolate notes, ideal for preparing organic, caffeine-free infusions with a comforting effect. It is characterized by its smooth and aromatic flavor, reminiscent of chocolate, but with less bitterness and without caffeine. Rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, calcium, and magnesium, it contains oleic and linoleic acids, antioxidants that promote cell health, and theobromine, which naturally boosts energy and activates serotonin (the happiness hormone).
