Why ChocoVivo Cacao Nibs? Our nibs are specially fermented for less than 3 days. This creates less acidity. Research has shown that less days of fermentation means more flavanols are maintained in the chocolate. Our nibs are pleasantly mild. They don't taste burnt or acidic, which are signs of raw cacao. Our nibs are organically grown and more than fair-trade. We are continually working with our grower to protect the region and educate people in their area. Minimally Fermented > Lower Acid > More Antioxidants Uses: Smoothies, trail mix, baking, cooking, salad topper or even straight out of the bag to satisfy your chocolate craving without unnecessary sugars or other additives.
