My obsession with cacao nibs runs DEEP. I try and sprinkle them onto everything I can because the bitter blast of chocolatey deliciousness is just too much of an experience to pass up otherwise. Such a delicant addition to any treat!!
Cacao nibs are small pieces of crushed cacao beans that have a bitter, chocolatey flavor.
They’re produced from beans derived from the Theobroma cacao tree, also known as the cocoa tree.
Cocoa beans are dried after harvesting, then fermented and cracked to produce small, dark bits — or cacao nibs.
Some cacao nibs are roasted while others are not. Unroasted cacao nibs are called raw cacao nibs.
These rich, chocolatey nibs are loaded with nutrients and powerful plant compounds that have been shown to benefit health in many ways.
