This is a 100g bag of 100% cocoa nibs from Jouvay Chocolate.
Cacao nibs are pieces of cocoa beans, which come from the Theobroma cacao tree. To make nibs, the beans are first fermented and then dried before they’re roasted and cracked.
What’s left after the beans have been cracked is a brittle shell, along with the nibs. The shell, which can be used to make tea, is removed through a process known as winnowing. In the bean to bar process cacao nibs are then ground into a paste with sugar and sometimes milk powder to eventually make chocolate bars.
However, it’s also possible to eat these crunchy nibs in their purest form before they’re converted into chocolate. In fact, just like chocolate, nibs have been proven to have tremendous health benefits.
