Cocoa Family expanding its product line from just cocoa beans to fermented and non-fermented cocoa products. Cocoa Beans, also known as cacao beans, have been in food, beverage and confectionery product mixes for years. Some of those products are cocoa butter, cocoa powder, cocoa paste or liquor and cocoa nibs. Cacao is also the main ingredient in chocolate.

Cocoa Family has been in the organic cocoa bean farming and growing business for decades, providing raw products for U.S., European and Middle Eastern Markets. Cocoa Family Farms produce both the Sanchez and the famous Hispaniola beans.By early 2007 The Family decided to focus more on reaching customers directly instead of going exporters and distributors. The company opened offices in the United States in late 2008. This has allowed the company to concentrate on consistent quality, timely delivery of products and pass the savings to clients.

In the spring of 2008 the company made its final decision to shift the focus directly to the chocolate producer and the cocoa beans processor to avoid exporting to the middle man. This has allowed the company to concentrate on consistent quality, timely delivery of products and pass the savings to clients.Cocoa Family Farms has established its sales and marketing offices in Los Angeles, California.

Cocoa beans' health benefits drove many industries to implement them in their mixes. Cocoa beans have more antioxidants than blueberries and other common fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants protect the body against free radicals, which age your cells and might accelerate the appearance of disease.

The research that has been done to find what the nutrient rich cacao bean can offer the body is adding up and two things that the data shows are that cocoa can help in regulating the heartbeat and blood pressure. While it might not stop the doctor from prescribing medication, there are studies that have been done that show amazing results, like a two week study that was done by the UCSF School of Nursing and the American Cocoa Research Institute.

The two week study headed by UCSF School of Nursing professor of physiological nursing, Mary Engler, PhD, RN showed the benefits of cocoa in the dilation of blood vessels without raising LDL cholesterol, inhibiting aggregation of blood platelets and decreasing the body's inflammatory immune response. Elevated blood levels of epicatechin prompted active substances that increase blood flow, this is good for the heart.
