Raw cacao refers to the cacao beans and tree that provide the pods used to make chocolate. It has undergone minimal processing, but much of the natural fat found in cacao beans, the cocoa butter, is removed, so the powder is relatively low in fat.acao powder can be added to a variety of baked goods. You can also mix in a tablespoon or two of raw cacao with juices or smoothies, or try sprinkling it on top of frozen yogurt for a healthy way to add chocolate flavor.
