Tasty Chocolate. No Modern Junk. No Sugars / Seed Oils. Amazing Cacao sweetened with Allulose.
Today's ultra-processed chocolate strips nutrients from cacao, mixing in sugar, seed oils, and artificial flavors. This combination is linked with chronic diseases. But with the Cacao Bar, we traditionally craft each bar with only two ingredients; 75% cacao and sweetened with 25% allulose. You can have amazing mouth-watering chocolate, which is healthy!
Allulose is classified as a natural 'rare sugar'. Figs, beets, corn, and raisins have small quantities of allulose. As it's a natural sweetener, it has the mouthfeel of sugar but "at least 90% is excreted by the kidneys without being metabolized. This means that in a functional sense, allulose has 95% fewer calories than sucrose and is why the FDA determined in 2019 that it does not need to be listed under total or added sugar." So you get to experience the sweetness, but not the negative health effects of conventional sugars.

Mouth Watering Cacao!
Amazing beans from Semuliki Forest in Uganda, with depth of flavor, rich chocolate notes and low bitterness.
Perfectly roasted in micro batches to bring out the big bold rich cacao.
Finely ground for a silky smooth texture.
Sweetened with allulose an all natural sweetener. Just a bit so the cacao flavors shine though.
Perfectly Tempered so you hear that SNAP! When you break off a piece.
Changed the way I think about chocolate bars!
This was better than any candy bar I ever ate in the past. The allulose seeetener was mild and I could really enjoy the depth of the cacao flavor.-Stephanie B.

I was so pleased to realize that the sweetener is all natural, and NOT white/cane sugar. I love that it is blood sugar and digestion sensitive, and planet-kind. -Averell Manes

- Allulose is natural - You've eaten lots of it already, as its in figs, beets, and corn.
- Almost zero calories - As its a rare sugar you body doesn't process it and it is mostly excreted
- No blood sugar spikes - As its mostly not absorbed into you blood stream, there is no blood sugar spikes
- Great Taste - Same mouth feel as cane sugar - about 70% as sweet by weight
- No microbiome damage or bloating - Artificial sweeteners are not good for the digestive
- No tooth decay - Cane sugar causes tooth decay but not allulose
No blood sugar spikes and crashes!
We wanted to make sure that the Cacao Bar with allulose will not cause any blood sugar spikes, so tested it.

Moses & Chris
Brothers with a love of cacao! Years into the Embue journey, Chris sent his little bro some interesting research on a new sweetener, allulose, and the idea was born of creating an eating bar. To share the wonders of cacao more widely while still retaining all the health benefits!
