One day, I sat down with a cup of ceremonial-grade cacao - real, wild cacao: rich, earthy, grounding. Within minutes, something shifted. My mind cleared. Over the following weeks, I noticed more stable energy, better mood, and slowly, I started to feel like myself again. That single cup changed the trajectory of my life. It opened my eyes to something I'd been missing: that real food - nutrient-dense, unprocessed, straight from the earth - has the power to heal us in ways we've forgotten.

That moment became the spark for Crucial FOUR. A company built on the belief that nature already gave us everything we need. We just have to listen. Because sometimes, all it takes is one quiet moment with the right ingredient to remember what it feels like to be whole again.

@havegoalswillketo

"I love Crucial FOUR's Icelandic Salt, not only is it tested for heavy metals and microplastics, it’s the tastiest, nutrient-dense salt I have ever had. I love adding a pinch in my water to keep my electrolytes balanced and be hydrated in the best way!"

@abbymchou

"As a mama of six, I’m always looking for easy ways to increase my energy and keep my family healthy — this Icelandic flake salt does both! My whole fam loves it! Even my 4-yr-old asks for the “icewandic sawt” at dinner time 😆😍"

@rachelkiperberg

"I developed preeclampsia with my first. During the pregnancy I was extremely undernourished. I limited protein limited salt and had no idea how important minerals are in order to support healthy thyroid health. This time around I have the privilege to focus on my preconception health prioritizing good salt local meats raw dairy/cheeses and lots of honey with seasonal fruits."

@alixbarthnutrition

"I have only been using Crucial FOUR for a couple of weeks now (sprinkle in water every AM), but can already tell a difference in less water retention and feeling more hydrated overall!"

@holistic_minded_chiro

"I learned about this salt through a fellow chiropractor who did research on the amounts of lead in different salts. This one was the most pure! I checked it out, loved the website, and now I add it to all my water and meals. I even use it in my morning smoothies!"

@dooonab

I love the clean crispness of the salt, and the unusual shape makes it easy to pinch from the salt bowl that I keep near the stovetop. The % of minerals though is why I bought it.

Things, people often ask us

Absolutely. Hot Cacao is made with just four clean, whole-food ingredients—no artificial sweeteners, fillers, or additives. The natural theobromine in cacao provides gentle, stable energy without the jitters or crashes of caffeine, making it a great choice for the whole family. Just adjust the amount to your child's taste preference.

Most store-bought hot chocolate is loaded with refined sugar, artificial flavors, dairy powders, and hydrogenated oils. Hot Cacao contains only wild-harvested Ecuador cacao, monk fruit, coconut sugar, and sea salt—nothing artificial, nothing processed. You get all the rich chocolate flavor plus the natural benefits of real cacao: antioxidants, magnesium, and mood-supporting compounds.

Yes! Hot Cacao works beautifully with any milk—dairy, almond, oat, coconut, or cashew. Simply stir 1 tsp into 6–8 oz of your favorite warmed milk and enjoy. Each type of milk will give you a slightly different flavor profile, so feel free to experiment.

Hot Cacao contains minimal caffeine—wild cacao naturally has about 1/10th the caffeine of coffee. What it does contain is theobromine, a gentle compound that provides calm, sustained energy without the spike and crash. It's perfect for morning rituals or even evening wind-downs.

Great question! Hot chocolate is typically made from melted chocolate bars (which contain cocoa butter and are higher in fat), while hot cocoa is made from cocoa powder. Hot Cacao falls into the cocoa category—it's made from wild cacao that's been processed into a fine powder, then naturally sweetened. This gives you all the benefits of real cacao without the heaviness of melted chocolate.

Ceremonial-grade means our cacao is minimally processed, made from heirloom beans, and never stripped with heat or chemicals. It’s cacao in its purest, most potent form—rich in nutrients and deeply respected for its traditional use.

Cacao supports mood, mental focus, circulation, and long-lasting energy. It’s rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and brain-boosting compounds like PEAs and anandamide. It also promotes cardiovascular health by improving blood flow and lowering oxidative stress.
