Is this cacao butter not edible?

Yes cocoa butter is edible. It is one of the ingredients in chocolate and white chocolate!

While the ingredient may not harm you if consumed, it is not a food item intended to be eaten.

No, this for eating only. You need coconut oil, I have used it along with shae butter to make a body butter.

It is not food grade and therefore not purified for consumption as food grade would be. Don't eat it. However, if somebody were to accidentally eat some, it probably wouldn't harm them.

Hey there! Well, from my research, it is totally raw; that means it is natural, not heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit, and not processed. You are correct, though, that alkali processed (also called Dutch processed) cacao/cocoa does destroy most of the incredible health benefits of this superfood!

It's not edible. That means it shouldn't be sprinkled on food or mixed in with food. No one should be eating this scrapbooking supply. Edible glitter is made from gum arabic, sanding sugar, or gelatin. If something is going to be eaten, then EVERYTHING on the product needs to be edible.

IMO, The cocoa butter has a strongish smell of chocolate. It is a wonderful smell on it's own. When I use cocoa butter I do not add any EO"S.

I have bought Navitas Naturals Cacao Butter from Wholes Foods prior to this purchase. When comparing the 2, the one from Whole Foods had a seriously rich/heady chocolaty type smell, a rich yellow, and was buttery to the touch. This stuff I bought from Amazon barely had a scent to it, pale yellow with specks of white, and was extremely dried out. Now that is not to say it was not 100% raw but either this product is a bit more processed or extremely old

You can eat it right out of the jar or use it in recipes. I found a few online. Just google "Cookie butter recipes." Mostly, I just ate it with a spoon, right out of the jar.

It's just a tad bit thicker than peanut butter. If you whip it a bit with a beater to mix everything together I think it'd be fine. Or add a smidge of coconut milk or something to soften it.

Not that I can see from the labels. On the front it says that it is gluten and allergen free, and on the back it says the only ingredient is organic cocoa butter, product of Dominican Republic.

It may contain sugar crust inside, but, if it does, it isn't noticeable. So it's thin (if it's there). At least that's what I remember. The chocolates are gone already:)

mine is hard, its difficult to cut it with a knife, but i keep it in the fridge, i want to keep it in good conditions so i can use it for long time, i remember my grandma used cocoa butter and it was like a bar of soap, so yes it is hard, its not like a body butter that u can grease onto your skin, u cut a peace down and rub your skin with it, and with you skin temperature it becomes oil on your skin.

Hi Andrew,This is the real thing. It has the strong aroma of chocolate and the texture is pure. I have already used this in one of my chocolate recipes which was wonderful, and I have also used this for my skin. What I like about this one is that it is both edible and for skin, which also means it is 100% raw. You will sometimes find people selling cocoa butter for only external uses, Always look for that and don't buy it. But this cocoa is the real deal and I love it. Enjoy it anyway you please, :)

Hello Andrew,This is an excellent question. I checked the jar to see and it said it was edible...;)BestMighty Counselor

Absolutely NOT. It is 100% dark chocolate cacao and very good stuff. I've been drinking it for more than 10 years, first purchasing it in expensive little cans when Mr. Scharffen and Mr. Berger were the owners. It does not taste like it has been changed since then. This is a good buy from Amazon, but you could go to Scharffenberger online and buy and try a small can to see if you like it before investing in a 4# bag.

Why wouldn't it be? No really, why not? But the thing is--it makes no sense to go to the trouble of getting RAW cacao if you want to destroy it with HEAT!

Cocoa butter is the natural fat that comes from the cocoa bean. It is definitely a part of chocolate.
