Every bar has roots in Sri Lanka

There's more behind every ayu bar than cacao. There are people, land, animals and communities woven into our story. That's why we give 10% of our profit back to local causes in Sri Lanka.

When you buy a bar, you get one vote on which cause the support should go to.

Every cup of Ayu is rich in natural nutrients, minerals, active plant compounds and dietary fibre that support steady energy, digestion and the body's natural balance.

Below you can read more about the key nutrients and plant compounds in Ayu, and how each one naturally supports the body.

Theobromine

What gives cacao its gentle energy. Unlike coffee, there's no jitters, no crash. Just calm, sustained energy.

Magnesium

One cup of ayu covers up to 40% of women's daily needs. Magnesium supports muscles, the nervous system and helps the body relax.

Iron

Ayu cacao is a significant source of plant-based iron. One cup covers nearly half of men's daily needs.

Copper

One cup of ayu covers your entire daily needs. Copper is essential for energy metabolism and the body's natural antioxidant defences.

Manganese

Supports the body's energy production, antioxidant defences and bone health. One cup of ayu covers over half of women's daily needs.

Flavanols

Are natural antioxidants that are preserved because the cacao is minimally processed. Research links them to better blood circulation and protection of the body's cells.

Anandamide

Also known as the 'bliss molecule.' One of the compounds that makes cacao something special and something you can feel.

Pure. No additives.

100% cacao. Nothing else. It's the starting point for everything we make.

Minimally processed

Fermented, sun-dried and stone-ground to preserve everything cacao contains - theobromine, magnesium, flavanols and copper - exactly as nature made it.
