Product Description
Organic Raw Cacao Nibs.Cacao, or Cocoa, is an evergreen tree, which grows naturally in tropical climates around the world. Its fruit, the cacao bean, is well-known as the basic ingredient in chocolate and has for centuries been forefront in native diets. In recent times it has attracted attention because of its nutritional richness and the health benefits associated with its antioxidant content.
Sevenhills Wholefoods source their beans from South America, and only those of a premium variety. Its seed pods are harvested by hand. They are broken apart and left until the soft flesh surrounding the bean has fermented and run off as liquid. The fermentation process affects the taste of the beans, which lose some bitter flavours. The beans are washed, cleaned, dried, then peeled and broken into small pieces (nibs). Sevenhills Wholefoods' cacao nibs are raw - processed at temperatures that never exceed 45°C, packed with heat sensitive vitamins and minerals which are often lost in products subject to higher temperatures during production.
Cacao has a high content of antioxidants, and raw cacao nibs especially retain all health benefits from the beans. Cacao nibs are rich in a number of essential minerals, including Magnesium, Sulphur, Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Potassium and Manganese.
Recommended use: cacao nibs are a versatile food that can be mixed in to many dishes, or alternatively eaten as a snack.
