Crudo means raw. At the center of each of these confections from Dandelion Japan is a whole, unroasted cocoa bean from Farm of Africa, in eastern Uganda’s Kayunga District. Those beans are exceptionally pure in flavor — they’re hand-harvested, fermented, dried, and hand-peeled. 

Rather than getting roasted at our factory, each batch of beans is treated with UV light at origin, making them safe to eat while preserving their delicate flavor notes. Our Tokyo makers coat each bean in raw organic Brazilian cane sugar, then layer on tangy-sweet Semuliki Forest chocolate, crafted with beans grown in western Uganda. Lastly, a dusting of powdered sugar. Two terroirs and two forms of cocoa meet in one balanced bite.

Harper G. ★★★★★

You bite through the thin shell and hit that whole unroasted bean from Uganda—it's a totally different texture, almost nutty and earthy, way more interesting than any chocolate I've had. I kept going back for another piece just to feel that crunch again.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

I'm not usually one to stop mid-bite, but the whole raw cocoa bean in the middle genuinely caught me off guard — it's bitter and fruity in a way roasted chocolate never is. Knowing it comes from a single farm in Uganda makes the whole thing feel less like candy and more like tasting something actual

Evelyn ★★★★★

I'd never had a whole unroasted cocoa bean before, and the crunch is completely different from any chocolate I've eaten. The Uganda beans have this bright, almost fruity tang that lingers a while.
