Organic cacao nibs produced from the ancient criollo varieties and are grown in the Pasco, Huanuco, Ucayali and Junin regions of Peru. They are fermented at low temperatures and then dried gently in the sun. This careful processing means they never get warmer than 40°C. Regular cacao products are roasted at high temperatures but raw cacao is always processed with controlled fermentation and drying. Keeping the cacao at strictly low temperature preserves the enzymes and nutrients in the beans.
Cacao contains over 300 nutritional compounds and is particularly rich in plant polphenols. The most beneficial of these polyphenols are called flavonoids which have an antioxidant action.
These tasty nibs can be used in gourmet trail mix, sprinkled on porridge or used in raw desserts. If you want a raw cacao powder, simply put these nibs in a blender until you reach a smooth powder. Cacao is a source of selenium which contributes to normal function of the thyroid and immune system. They are high in a number of important nutrients including magnesium which is necessary for the reduction of tiredness and fatigue – a great excuse to make more cacao based foods!
