Most cacao powders do not tell you where the beans came from or whether the soil they grew in was clean. Creative Nature does both. This powder is made from 100% pure Criollo beans — one of the rarer, more complex cacao varieties — and sourced specifically from unpolluted growing regions to keep cadmium levels measurably low. Cadmium is a heavy metal that accumulates in cacao grown in contaminated soils, and it is a genuine issue across the category. The fact that Creative Nature traces ingredients to source and selects for low cadmium is the thing that separates this from the cacao powder already sitting in your cupboard.
It looks and behaves like the cocoa powder you already know — same rich brown colour, same versatility — but the nutritional profile is substantially different. Where processed cocoa is stripped back, this retains its natural antioxidants alongside meaningful levels of iron, magnesium, zinc, and copper. It is also a source of fibre and healthy fats, and has been associated with supporting energy levels and fighting fatigue.
For anyone managing food allergies or multiple dietary restrictions, the sourcing story matters but so does what is not in the product. Creative Nature manufactures in a nut-free facility and guarantees no 'may contains' on any of its products. This powder is:
- Top 14 allergen free
- Peanut free, tree nut free, egg free, soya free, wheat free, milk free, sesame free, lupin free, celery free, mustard free, sulphites free, molluscs free, crustaceans free, fish free
- Fully nut free and gluten free
- Vegan
- Kosher certified
- Packaged in a nut-free facility with no 'may contains'
In the kitchen, it is genuinely versatile. Use it in hot chocolate, smoothies, baking, and raw desserts — Creative Nature's own recipe archive includes a no-bake chocolate cheesecake, hot chocolate bombs, a vegan spag bol, and a sweet potato and black bean chilli that uses cacao to add depth. Sweet or savoury, it holds its own.
Available in 150g and 600g.
About Our Brand Creative Nature
For those navigating food allergies or dietary restrictions, finding delicious and safe options often feels like a compromise. Many 'free from' products prioritise safety over flavour, leaving consumers with uninspiring alternatives. Creative Nature addresses this by crafting superfoods and snacks that are free from gluten, dairy, nuts, and artificial sweeteners, ensuring taste is never sacrificed.
What truly distinguishes Creative Nature is their rigorous approach to ingredient sourcing. They go beyond standard practices, tracing ingredients directly to unpolluted growing regions. This deliberate choice significantly reduces the risk of heavy metal contamination, a common issue in less scrutinised superfood supply chains, demonstrating an unparalleled commitment to product safety.
At its core, Creative Nature believes that healthy eating should be a joyful experience, not a chore. Their product development prioritises both safety and palatability, ensuring that customers with multiple dietary restrictions can enjoy their food without compromise. This dual focus on stringent sourcing and genuine flavour makes them a standout brand.
