Sacred amongst the Mayans & Aztecs in the tropical climates of South America, the Cacao bean is the raw base for many chocolate producers around the World. Technically a superfood because of their wide range of antioxidants & nutrients, they are rich in Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Copper & Potassium whilst still being low in sugar. Raw Cacao Nibs are an excellent snack or can even be used in baking, desserts or as confectionery. In baking, they give a crunchy texture with a slightly bitter flavour. Raw Cacao Nibs have a very similar taste to cocoa, the main difference being that they are more intense as they are in their most natural form. Add to muesli or trail mix for a snack, use in cereals or grind to a smooth powder & pinch over rice pudding. For a great smoothie, add 2 tsp (8g) of Cacao Nibs to a blender with a banana & 200ml almond milk (or your favourite alternative) & blend well. Add berries too for an extra boost.
