Ceylon Kokonati – Raw Cacao Beans – unroasted organic beans
Ceylon Kokonati Cacao Beans are whole organic unroasted beans from the fruit of the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao) suitable for smoothies, porridge, and desserts. They offer the pure taste of real cacao and are also suitable for homemade chocolate making.
They are great chopped into muesli, yogurt, granola, cookies, or brownies. You can crush them into crushed cacao beans (cacao nibs), grind them into a paste, and use them for homemade chocolate with a strong chocolate flavor and crunchiness.
This is a single-ingredient raw material containing fiber and natural polyphenols – plant bioactive substances with antioxidant potential that help neutralize free radicals in the body. Without added sugar, without flavorings, and without preservatives. They are whole beans in their original form.
Whole beans are easy to peel, chop, or grind as needed. In desserts, they retain structure, add chocolate aroma, and work in traditional and modern recipes.
Did you know?
- Cacao beans contain approximately 50% cacao butter. When finely ground, the fat is released and the beans naturally combine into a smooth cacao mass – without added fats.
- How to easily peel: gently crack the bean in a mortar (or briefly chill in the freezer), then easily separate the husks by winnowing (home "winnowing"). A quick and clean process.
- Cacao beans are not nuts (they are cacao seeds), but packaged products may indicate a warning for possible traces of allergens – for Ceylon Kokonati, this includes cashews and coconut.

How do RAW Cocoa Beans differ from supermarket chocolate?
RAW Cocoa Beans are the only ingredient – whole, unroasted, and only dried, without added sugar, flavours, and preservatives. In contrast, regular chocolate bars are a mix of sugar, cocoa mass, and cocoa butter, with milk variants also containing dairy ingredients.
The processing also differs: the beans undergo only minimal intervention (drying, sorting, peeling) and retain their original character. Industrial chocolate is the result of roasting, fine grinding, and long conching, which unifies the taste and texture into a smooth, sweet form.
The contrast in composition is significant: the beans are without "E numbers", while many chocolates contain emulsifiers (lecithin E322, PGPR E476), flavours (synthetic vanillin), sometimes other vegetable fats, and in "sugar-free" variants, sweeteners like maltitol E965, sorbitol E420, or sucralose E955.

The Ceilon Kokonati brand was established in 2013. In its range you can find a variety of high quality and affordable products made from sustainably produced coconuts, spices and tropical fruits.
The brand's name refers to the country that its founders consider home, Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where the coconuts for the coconut line of products are grown and processed. Ceylon, a British Crown Colony from 1815-1948, is now known as Sri Lanka, but the founders of the brand prefer to call it Ceylon because it definitely sounds more exotic and "pure Ceylon" is a brand in itself, reminiscent of the fresh unique essence of pure Ceylon tea. "Kokonati" on the other hand is Maori for coconut, so absolutely the most appropriate brand name for the most coconutty goodness ever.
The Ceilon Kokonati brand is run by a married couple. The female founding half is Mrs. Bûmika, which means Lady of the Earth in Sanskrit. Her great-grandfather was one of the pioneers of coconut oil pressing in Ceylon, making her the fourth generation of coconut oil presser. The male founding half, Mr. Mosqi, in turn, is originally a pure Ceylon tea grower.
Ceylon Kokonati is wholly owned and operated in New Zealand. Loose products from Kokonati uses several ethical brands that produce clean, organic food and beauty products. By selling Kokonati products, rural communities and traditional livelihoods are supported. All their products are ethically harvested and there is almost no waste in their production. Each part of the coconut is used in the production of a different product. Kokonati products are single-ingredient, packaged directly at the source, never mixed, single-species, non-GMO and vegan.
With a passion for organic, regenerative farming, sustainability and collective partnerships, Kokonati products come only from small farms and mills in rural villages in Sri Lanka. Each Kokonati product is produced in a specialized mill that produces only that type of product. Quality is therefore the best it can be, and every step of production is backed by the experience and knowledge of many generations. Ceylon is blessed with an abundance of healthy, exotic fruits, nuts, herbs and spices.
Ceylon Kokonati follows the principles of balanced living - live and let live.
They're trying to keep everything in even better condition than when they found it..
