Our raw Cacao Nibs from Ecuador are a richer, dark brown color, and more dense than the Philippine Cacao. Their flavor is also more intense, and there’s is almost a faint coffee like flavor to them in addition to the light chocolate taste. To fully receive all the nutrional benefits from the Cacao plant, eat Cacao as close to its natural state as possible. Raw Cacao Nibs are rich in a number of essential minerals: magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium, and manganese. (USDA Certified Organic, Kosher, Non-GMO, Gluten-free)
