If you like chocolate, we encourage you to try raw cacao. Raw cacao is made by cold-pressing un-roasted cacao beans — and cocoa (or cocoa) beans are the basis of chocolate. They’re the dried, fermented seed of the cacao tree, otherwise known as the Theobroma cacao. They are native to the tropical regions of South America, and sure do possess a great, bitter taste! Below is a hand-picked assortment of what we deem to be the best organic raw cacao snacks. In addition to being sustainably harvest — and thus having a relatively low environmental impact — this ingredient has proven to be beneficial to your mind and body. Research suggests the health benefits of raw cacao range from reducing  your risk of cardio vascular disease and high blood pressure, to bettering your mood and guarding your body against toxins by nature of cacao’s high mineral and antioxidant content. Moreover, the below brands who craft these products possess a commitment to sourcing responsibly and crafting high-quality and healthy cacao snacks. TerraSoul Superfoods, for example, is a small, family-run business out of Texas and communicates a commitment to food transparency, ethical sourcing, and bringing nutrient-rich food to the greater community. Go enjoy this superfood! We do!

Greener Square started from a desire to solve the problem of uninformed and unsustainable consumerism, a determination to peel back the label and make healthy, socially and environmentally responsible brands and products easily accessible…it started from a reverence for the environment! Our inspiration came from the market square: a place where people can find natural and locally crafted clothing, furniture and food, socialize with a like-minded community, and learn about how items are made directly from the vendors. So, what is Greener Square? It is a platform for conscious consumers, for products only from mindful brands that value people, animals and the planet. Greener Square is a source for information, a guide for informed and “greener” choices. It is the “greener” Market Square. It’s time for the Greener Movement. But, what is the ‘Greener Movement’, you ask? “Greener” is the next step in the “green” movement. If “green” means good for the environment, “greener” means good for the environment and the people. We feel there is often an experience of cognitive dissonance between actions that are ‘good for you’ and ‘good for the environment’. In other words, we found that when one sees or hears that something is said to be ‘good for the environment’–that it is sustainable, organic, or ethical, let’s say–one may mark said thing as being firstly beneficial for the natural world and secondly for people, or their individual health. One may even think, “Oh, this thing or action is not right for me because I’m not engaged in sustainability.” But, it is right and good for you! We promise! The mission of Greener Square is to blur this damaging line and make clear that practices and products that are environmentally responsible are innately good for you, as we humans are part of the ecological fabric of the planet. If we do what’s right and healthy for nature, we do what’s right and healthy for oneself and others. We believe this is a cause to get behind! A good ‘movement’ to get behind — a Greener Movement!
