<p>Chocolate is food, not candy. That’s the message Evolved aims to tell. True to its word, Evolved offers only organic, high-cacao dark chocolate bars and dark chocolate cups—not the sugary milk chocolate found in the checkout aisles of most supermarkets. For those who don’t already know, cacao is the key to chocolate’s <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/c/superfoods"target="_blank">superfood status</a>. It’s high in magnesium, iron, copper, antioxidants, and even a mood-boosting chemical called theobromine. Cacao health benefits aside, there’s lots more to like about Evolved. All of its chocolate products are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, Paleo, vegan, and 100% organic. That’s right, you won’t find anything strange in Evolved chocolate, not even soy lecithin! Finally, for those of you who care about the environment, Evolved chocolate is <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/certifications/fair-trade-certified"target="_blank">Certified Fairly Traded
</a>. (Fair trade means small cacao farmers are paid fair wages for their important work). The simplicity of ingredients, the eco-friendly mission, and the mouthwatering taste of dark chocolate are all reasons why our Thrive Market members can’t stop raving about Evolved. Come see what everyone’s raving about and give it a try!</p>
