Organic Cacao Nibs

Raw cacao nibs are pure pieces of raw cacao that, unlike ordinary chocolate, are free from sugar and milk. 

They have a amazing and pure chocolate flavour that can be enjoyed just as they are as a handy snack. Cacao in its raw form such as these cacao nibs have been popular for thousands of years and was enjoyed by the Mayans and Aztecs who named it the "Food of Gods". 

Cacao nibs contain a unique composition of nutrients, including vitamin C, the minerals, iron, chromium, manganese, zinc and copper, fibre, omega-6 fatty acids, PEA (phenylethylamine) and a small amount of tryptophan, theobromine, anandamide and theophylline. 

These cacao nibs alos contain around 40% fat content (low compared to other nuts). We only ever use criollo beans and only if they are certified organic and from a ethical source. Criollo beans are recognised as the best beans in the world for flavour, consistency and nutrients.
