This company emerged initially from my passion for food and the limited availability of proper healthy foods on the market. However, the name Foods For Gods comes from my obsession with Organic Raw Cacao and how this product, along with other health regiments, I was able to improve my mental well-being and reduce the symptoms of brain damage in the temporal and frontal lobes of my brain which affected my cognition and speech, as a result of unimaginable childhood traumas and early childhood malnutrition.
When I discovered the wonder of raw Cacao, the instant mood elevation and mental sharpness I experienced, a level of euphoria I couldn't experience from regular chocolate or coffee, it dawned on me that eating a particular food enabled me to achieve a level of productivity that is super human-like. The laser sharpness and the unlimited energy to accomplish everything I set out to accomplish throughout the day were indeed mind-blowing and, frankly, a little addictive. I decided to research the ingredients of the products I offer, and I became especially fascinated with Cacao. Surprisingly, it is considered the food of the gods from different cultures and religious circles throughout history. When I eat the food of the gods, it is no wonder that I experience an altered state of consciousness and function at a higher mental plan than when I don't. I am thrilled to share this joy and wonder of Foods For Gods with you.
Foods considered “foods of the gods” often have cultural, historical, or mythological significance attached to them, and no other foods are referenced as a food of the gods as much as Cacao. However, there are a few more on the list, which are listed below for your pleasure.
Here are some examples:
1. CACAO, which I’ve already mentioned, is often referred to as the “food of the gods,” The ancient Mayans and Aztecs considered cacao beans a divine gift and used them for sacred rituals. Olmec artefacts reveal reverence to the cacao beans and use them often in ceremonies. Various indigenous cultures in South America, such as the Shipibo-Conibo and the Bribri people, also hold Cacao as a sacred plant. They view Cacao as a spiritual ally and use it in healing ceremonies and ritualistic practices. There are numerous health benefits of Cacao which is what chocolate is made out of to warrant its status as a food of the gods. Moreover, the health benefits of Cacao to the production of testosterone are likely for its association with pleasure, indulgence, and celebration.

2. Honey: Honey has been revered in many ancient cultures and is often associated with sweetness, fertility, and immortality. In Greek mythology, honey was considered the food of the gods on Mount Olympus. It has been used for both culinary and medicinal purposes for thousands of years, and this continues to be true for many people around the world.
3. Ambrosia: In Greek mythology, ambrosia was the food of the gods, providing them with immortality and divine strength. It was often described as a sweet and fragrant substance, sometimes associated with nectar. Ambrosia was said to be reserved exclusively for the gods.
4. Pomegranate: Pomegranates have a rich symbolism in various cultures, representing fertility, abundance, and divine power. In Greek mythology, Persephone was said to have been tempted by pomegranate seeds in the underworld, which bound her to return for a portion of each year.
5. Saffron: Saffron, derived from the crocus flower, is a highly prized spice known as the “golden spice.” It has been used for centuries in various cuisines and is associated with luxury, prosperity, and divine essence. Saffron has been mentioned in religious texts and used in sacred rituals.
