Herbalist and holistic health coach Rachelle Robinett has a thing for cacao - you might know it as the superfood plant that ends up becoming part of your favorite chocolate treats, but did you know that cacao's benefits range far beyond tasting incredible? Turns out cacao is full of nutritional perks: it's full of antioxidants (just like a fruit), it contains compounds that make you feel happy (seriously), and it's got healthy fats and mood-boosting goodness that actually makes it the perfect food to snack on before bed for better sleep. From beans to nibs to powder to butter, Rachelle takes us through everything you need to know about cacao (including what makes it different from straight-up cocoa) then shows us a crazy-easy recipe for making your own cacao-based chocolate at home.
It's all part of Well+Good's new RU-vid show Plant-Based, a deep dive into the plants that keep us healthy and happy, from adaptogenic herbs to apartment-cheering succulents. Subscribe to Well+Good's RU-vid channel to be the first to see more episodes.
