On the cacao tree grows the cacao pod, inside the pod is cacao fruit and seeds. The seeds are also known as cacao beans and when these beans are peeled and crushed Cacao Nibs are produced. When added to smoothies, desserts and raw treats the taste is very pure chocolate, quite delicate in comparison to cacao powder. Cacao Nibs are fibrous in texture but when whizzed in a smoothie become nicely crunchy. Organic Cacao Nibs are fantastic for making energy bars and raw treats.
Raw Organic Cacao Nibs Health Benefits
The health benefits for Cacao Nibs are very similar to Cacao Powder. Cacao Nibs have an extremely high antioxidant score on the ORAC scale. The (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale was developed by the United States Department of Agriculture to measure the ability of antioxidants to absorb free radicals, which normally cause cell and tissue damage. By eating high antioxidant foods in our diet it is believed we are helping to guard against cellular and tissue damage which often lead to serious illness.
Magnesium is abundant in Organic Cacao Nibs and it is magnesium that is known to be the most important mineral for a healthy heart. It is also believed to assist with the brain function to bring clarity and focus.
