Viva Naturals Organic Cacao Powder 1 lb — Unsweetened Dark Chocolate Flavor, Smooth Fine Texture

Viva Naturals Organic Cacao Powder is a single-ingredient, unsweetened dark cacao powder that brings rich chocolate flavor to baking, smoothies, and hot chocolate without added sugar or fillers.

Made from finely ground Theobroma cacao beans, this 1 lb (454 g) bag delivers deep chocolate aroma and flavor while remaining non-alkalized and free of additives. USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, the powder mixes smoothly, works as a 1:1 substitute for traditional cocoa in recipes, and fits a range of diets including vegan, keto, paleo, and gluten-free lifestyles.

How does Viva Naturals cacao powder improve my morning smoothie or hot chocolate?

The powder is milled to a silky, clump-resistant texture that disperses easily into liquids and blended drinks. Its unsweetened, concentrated chocolate profile allows you to control sweetness and pair it with plant milks, protein powders, or natural sweeteners.

• Fine texture for smooth blending, no gritty mouthfeel.
• Unsweetened base so you add your preferred sweetener or keep it sugar-free.
• Intense dark-chocolate flavor boosts protein shakes and plant-based milks.

Can I swap this cacao powder for cocoa in baking recipes?

Yes — Viva Naturals cacao powder can be used as a direct 1:1 replacement for dark cocoa powder in most recipes. Because it is non-alkalized (natural cacao), expect slightly brighter, more complex chocolate notes and a natural acidity that may interact with baking soda in certain recipes.

• Use 1:1 in cakes, cookies, brownies, and pancake batters.
• Adjust leavening if a recipe assumes Dutch-processed cocoa (alkalized).
• Enhances depth and aroma without adding sugar or dairy.

What dietary needs and certifications does this product meet?

Viva Naturals Organic Cacao Powder is formulated for broad dietary compatibility: it’s vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and suits keto and paleo approaches when used without sweeteners that add carbs. The product carries USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verification, and contains only organic cacao with no fillers or additives.

• USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified.
• Vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, keto- and paleo-friendly.
• Single-ingredient composition—just organic cacao powder.

How should I store and measure this cacao powder for best results?

Store the sealed bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve flavor and aroma. Measure with level tablespoons or grams for baking accuracy, and sift when a recipe calls for an especially light texture or when mixing into batters.

• Keep sealed in a pantry or cupboard; refrigerate only if humidity is a concern.
• Use level spoonfuls or a kitchen scale for consistent results.
• Sift into batters to avoid any lumps and ensure even distribution.

Who is this for? Home bakers, smoothie lovers, and anyone who prefers clean-label chocolate ingredients will appreciate Viva Naturals Organic Cacao Powder. It’s ideal for people following vegan, keto, paleo, or gluten-free diets, cooks who want an unsweetened and aromatic chocolate base, and health-conscious shoppers seeking USDA Organic and Non-GMO verification without added sugars or fillers.
