The Benefits of Nuts in Chocolate

Video Transcript

"Hi, I’m Kelly Johnson of Sedona Chocolate Super Foods and we’re here on location in the chocolate room of the Ridiculous Chocolate Factory, inside the Bliss Café in Sedona, Arizona on behalf of Expert Village. I’d like to reiterate the point of supporting small farms and ethical production. For instance the Macadamia nuts that we use here, they go out and collect them one day at a time, they process them each day, they peel them by hand. Same thing with the cashews, they go and pick them, they peel them that day by hand. Conventional methods use really high heat and steam and when they do this to nuts what happens is the oils become rancid, the molecular structure becomes disorganized and then it no longer becomes healthy for our bodies, hence that’s why most people have gotten the idea that if you eat cashews you’re going to get fat, if you eat macadamia nuts you’re going to get fat. Just cooked or high heat processed nuts are rancid and very dangerous, toxic and create fat, unhealthy fat our bodies store this fat. So that’s why we use here all these things that are hand peeled, collected fresh each day. "
