3 times as much for about $7.xx (IIRC) at Rainbow foods at Britannia mall
on Carling. Trade name is Camino Cocoa. Organic.

Maybe there's more to it- this from the blurb on the package of
Navitasnaturals cacao powder I got today, same store:
"Cacao contains a rich supply of vitamins and minerals that enhance
physical and mental well being. These nutrients include beta-carotene,
zinc and an inncredibly rich suppy of magnesium. The beans also contain
more antioxidant flavonoids than blueberries, red wine and green tea."
I have no urge to eat honey or butter, but when combined with cocoa powder
and boiling water it's wonderful.
