However, it turns out that the health and beauty properties of chocolate are attributed to the wrong product! Unfortunately, in the process of roasting and alkalization of cocoa beans, they lose up to 90% of their valuable antioxidants! It is completely different in the case of raw (unroasted and unprocessed grains).<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The most important element present in raw cocoa beans is magnesium. The concentration of this element in raw seeds is much higher than in the roasted grain, which is used in the production of most chocolates. Nowadays, magnesium is one of the elements whose deficiency bothers us the most. In addition, the B vitamins and tryptophan contained in the grains are used by the brain to produce a neurotransmitter called serotonin, which ensures peace and gives a feeling of happiness.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Phenylethylamine present in the beans has earned the nickname &#8220;chocolate amphetamine&#8221; because high levels of this neurotransmitter help to create a feeling of excitement. Raw cocoa seeds are also a very valuable source of antioxidants that protect the body against the harmful effects of free radicals. Thanks to the presence of compounds such as anthocyanins and catechins, cocoa affects the faster regeneration of body cells, as well as effective protection against premature aging processes, such as wrinkles or loss of skin elasticity.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Cocoa beans also contain a lot of phosphorus, called the element of beauty, which has a beneficial effect on the skin, hair and nails.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><font
