Description
Cacao nibs are small pieces of crushed cacao beans — or cocoa beans — that have a nutty, 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.
These rich, chocolatey nibs are loaded with nutrients and powerful plant compounds that have been shown to benefit health in many ways.

Once you try these nibs you will never want to go back to having any others! These are by far the best nibs I have ever tasted. They aren't stale and dry they taste fresh and fleshy and full of flavour!
