Which cocoa is used in the ceremony?
For the Munay Cacao Ceremony, we use Pachamama cacao from SONQO. It comes from Syntropic Jungle Care projects, is wild-harvested, lovingly processed by hand, naturally sun-dried, and fermented in the heart of the jungle. It is vegan, gluten-free, and has no added sugar – and is traditionally prepared with water (without milk or plant-based milk) for your Munay Cacao Ceremony.
Where can I learn rituals for my interaction with cacao?
In the SONQO Cacao Course, you'll learn how to handle ceremonial cacao in three modules. You'll also be regularly invited to free online live streams from SONQO to practice with the SONQO community. Find out more on our events page. Or search for "Module 1" in our shop to find our Cacao Course.
Is it good to drink cacao every day?
Generally, yes. Most healthy adults can consume 15-25g of cacao daily and thus optimally benefit from its antioxidant effects and many healthy ingredients. Try it yourself and start each day for a week with a delicious Pachamama Cacao.
Why does cacao make you happy?
Cacao's ability to make you happy is due to its ingredients – especially the alkaloid salsolinol. This promotes the release of dopamine in the brain, often referred to as the "happiness hormone." Cacao also contains the amino acid L-tryptophan, which the body converts into serotonin. This neurotransmitter affects both our nervous system and our circulatory system. Serotonin gives the body a sense of inner calm and is said to counteract stress.
Is it safe for me to drink cocoa during pregnancy?
Yes, you can safely drink cocoa during pregnancy. The many healthy ingredients can even have a positive effect on the pregnancy. However, due to increased sensitivity, you might need to reduce the amount from 20g per cup (200ml) by about half. It's best to listen to your body and find the right amount for you.
Can people with diabetes drink cocoa?
Yes, pure cocoa is generally well-suited for diabetics. Pachamama cocoa contains no added sugar and is naturally low in fructose. Therefore, diabetics can enjoy Pachamama cocoa without any problems. However, if you are still unsure, it's best to consult your doctor.
