Upcycled Cacao Bites

Solving global warming takes more than just trees

In the process of making chocolate, cacao fruit is usually discarded after the cacao beans found within are used to create the rich, flavorful base for various chocolate products—but Gudrun's Cacaofruit Bites are a new Belgian chocolate product that gives new life to this overlooked ingredient. Based on the principles of upcycling, Gudrun created an exclusive new treat that helps to repurpose an ingredient that's usually destined for waste streams. Cacaofruit Bites is packed with flavor, as well as being aligned with a more sustainable future.

"We hear our younger target groups who are rightly sounding the alarm and are very conscious about the future of the planet," says Sofie De Lathouwer, CEO of Gudrun, "If we want to continue to enjoy chocolates, we have to find ways to treat the planet with more respect."
