They are chocolate in its most whole form, and they taste like it: intensely bitter, deeply chocolatey, with a hard crunch that softens slightly in the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCacao and cocoa are the same bean treated differently. Cocoa is roasted at high heat, which develops the familiar chocolate flavour but degrades much of the flavanol content. Cacao is processed at low temperature, so it keeps more of the polyphenols and tastes sharper, more bitter and considerably more complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nib format has one advantage powder does not: texture. Nibs give crunch to granola, yoghurt, trail mix and cookies in a way cocoa powder cannot, and they carry the cocoa butter that is pressed out of powder — so they are richer and more satisfying to eat directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic Peruvian cacao, single ingredient, in 200 g and 454 g. At Rootalive, we help and inspire people to live a healthier and happier lifestyle.

They also work as a low-sugar chocolate substitute for people cutting sweeteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are genuinely bitter with no sweetness at all, and people expecting chocolate chips are always surprised. Cacao contains theobromine, mildly stimulating in sensitive people and toxic to dogs — keep them off the counter around pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRootalive Organic Cacao Nibs Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrushed Whole Cacao Beans\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pure chocolate in its most whole form, single ingredient.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Peruvian Cacao\u003c\/strong\u003e — From one of the world's great cacao origins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetains the Cocoa Butter\u003c\/strong\u003e — Richer than powder, which has the fat pressed out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRich in Cacao Polyphenols\u003c\/strong\u003e — Flavanols preserved by low-temperature handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdds Real Texture\u003c\/strong\u003e — Crunch for granola, yoghurt, trail mix and baking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Added Sugar\u003c\/strong\u003e — Completely unsweetened, useful for low-sugar eating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 200 g and 454 g, with the larger at better value per gram.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-rootalive-organic-cacao-nibs\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ What are Rootalive Organic Cacao Nibs?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eCrushed organic cacao beans from Peru, single ingredient, unsweetened.
