Cacao Nibs

Source of minerals and antioxidants

Cacao nibs are the shelled and crushed cacao beans.

Cacao is rich in essential minerals, including magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, potassium and phosphorus. This ancient superfood is rich in antioxidants as well; Cacao beans contain 10,000 milligrams (10 grams) per 100 grams of flavonol antioxidants. This is a whopping 10% antioxidant concentration level! This makes cacao one of the richest sources of antioxidants of any food.

Our Raw Organic Cacao nibs are Pure Criollo cacao from Peru.

Why do we source Criollo: 

In Spanish, Criollo means 'of local origin'. This is a very high quality cocoa bean and is very aromatic and lacks bitterness. The Criollo is used in luxury chocolate but rarely alone since it is very scarce and expensive. Becoming less and less available. Found in Venezuela, Peru, Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Colombia, Samoan Islands, Sri Lanka and Madagascar. Represents less than 3% of the world's cocoa production.

Ceremonial Grade Cacao? 

Our Criollo is pure unadulterated cacao, sourced from the Mesoamerican region and is deemed Ceremonial grade Cacao.
