The healthy way to enjoy chocolate

The cacao bean is the seed of the Cacao tree. Dark, crunchy and with a bitter chocolatey taste.

 
Magic Beans
The cacao bean has long been treasured in human history, which is no wonder really considering that Raw Cacao is one of the most, if not the most, nutrient rich and complex foods known to man, containing over 300 nutritional compounds including anti-oxidants, essential minerals and mood enhancing chemicals.

Superfood Nutrition: Antioxidants & Essential Minerals
Cacao is a tremendous superfood, having one of the highest antioxidant levels of any food on earth. Other essential minerals present in cacao are calcium, zinc, iron, copper and potassium. It is also high in the ‘beauty minerals’ sulphur and magnesium.

The Food of Love and Happiness
Raw Cacao contains a cocktail of pharmacologically active substances, including mood-enhancing neurotransmitters and a chemical the brain secretes when we are in love. This could explain why chocolate has long been suspected of having anti-depressant and aphrodisiac properties!

Full of Flavour & Crunch
Cacao Nibs can be eaten as they are, for a delightful chocolate experience! Their crunchy texture adds an extra special lift to trail mixes. Try sprinkling over muesli and fruit, and even on salads.


Our raw, certified organic Cacao Nibs come from peeled, whole cacao beans from Peru, the cacao beans have been grown organically without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemicals of any kind. They are also certified Fair Trade, which means that the farmers receive a fair price for their crop.
