What are Cacao Nibs?
Cacao nibs vs cacao sweet nibs.
Cacao nibs are basically chocolate in its purest form — nature’s OG chocolate chips. They come from cacao beans that have been roasted, removed from their husks, and broken into smaller pieces with a texture similar to coffee beans. They’re not as sweet as chocolate and have a slightly bitter, nutty, chocolatey taste, and the longer they’re roasted, the more intense their flavor becomes. Cacao sweet nibs are simply cacao nibs rolled in sugar to slightly sweeten them. Cacao nibs, including sweet nibs, are excellent sources of antioxidants, fiber, iron, and magnesium.
