What are cacao nibs?

Cacao nibs are small, crunchy pieces of crushed cacao beans that have been harvested, fermented, dried, and roasted (or left raw). They are the purest, least processed form of chocolate available, consisting of pure cocoa solids and cocoa butter without added sugar, dairy, or emulsifiers.

Cacao nibs feature a rich, dark chocolate aroma with an intense, slightly bitter, and nutty flavor profile similar to dark roasted coffee beans. They are rich in flavonoid antioxidants, dietary fiber, iron, and magnesium. Cacao nibs add a satisfying crunch when sprinkled over smoothie bowls, oatmeal, yogurt, baked goods, or custom trail mixes.
