Green Origin Cocao
This was a substitute by Essential. I had ordered a raw, Fair trade product (The Raw Chocolate Co / Raw Cacao Powder).
There are a few problems as to why it was a poor substitute and why not to buy it.
a) It is not raw
b) it is not Fair Trade
c) It is only 150g rather than 180g
d) It's more expensive and finally
e) It tastes, well, not of much. I wonder if it's been bulked out with starch or something. Anyway I would never buy this product again. Almost a complete drag of an experience.
This rubbish retails at £5.59 for 150g

The Raw retails at £4.20 for 180g

and
Essential have their own organic for £4.97 for 500g

though not raw or Fair trade but then neither is the crap Essential sent me. ????
