Why The Wellness recommends this

Curated, not stocked.

We keep our food range tightly edited, and this one earns its place largely on ingredient honesty. Three recognisable ingredients, organic cacao, a fibre-rich fruit powder, and a minimally processed sweetener, with nothing added to bulk it out. For patients who want to increase dietary polyphenol intake in a practical, everyday way, a cacao drink is one of the more enjoyable routes.

About this product

Aduna Super-Cacao Premium Blend Cacao Powder

Aduna Super-Cacao Premium Blend is a blended cacao powder made from organic cacao, baobab fruit powder, and coconut sugar. It is designed to stir into hot drinks, smoothies, porridge, or baked goods — wherever you want a deep chocolate flavour alongside some added nutritional interest.

Cacao is one of the richer dietary sources of flavanols, a class of polyphenols studied for their role in circulatory and cognitive health. Baobab contributes vitamin C and soluble fibre, and brings a gentle tartness that balances the bitterness of raw cacao. Coconut sugar is used here as a lower-glycaemic-index sweetener compared with refined white sugar, though it remains a sugar and should be counted as such in your daily intake.

This blend suits people who want a more nutritionally considered alternative to standard hot chocolate mixes or cocoa powders — particularly those tracking polyphenol intake or looking to reduce highly processed ingredients without giving up the taste. It fits easily into a morning routine or a mid-afternoon drink.

Aduna sources baobab from smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, and the cacao is organic. The three-ingredient list is notably short for a flavoured powder, with no fillers, artificial sweeteners, or flavourings added.

Common questions

Frequently asked

How does this differ from ordinary cocoa powder?

Standard cocoa powder is typically alkali-processed (dutched), which reduces flavanol content. Raw or minimally processed organic cacao retains more of these polyphenols. This blend also includes baobab and coconut sugar, making it a ready-to-mix drink base rather than a plain cooking ingredient.

Is the coconut sugar a concern for blood sugar management?

Coconut sugar has a lower glycaemic index than refined white sugar, but it is still a sugar and will affect blood glucose. If you are managing diabetes or insulin resistance, factor the sugar content from the packaging into your daily carbohydrate intake and speak to your clinician if unsure.

Can I use this in baking as a cocoa powder substitute?

Yes. It works as a drop-in replacement in most recipes that call for cocoa powder, though the added coconut sugar means you may want to reduce other sweeteners in the recipe accordingly.

Is this suitable for children?

Cacao contains naturally occurring caffeine and theobromine, so portion sizes should be smaller for children than for adults. Check the packaging for guidance and consider this if your child is sensitive to stimulants.

What does baobab add nutritionally?

Baobab fruit powder is a notable plant source of vitamin C and soluble fibre. It also has a mild citrus-like tartness that complements the bitterness of raw cacao in the blend.
