If you like bitter dark chocolate then you are going to love this.
I have enjoyed them two ways:
1. Mix 1:2 cacao nibs with dries berries (I used goji and mulberry) and your favorite nuts (for me macadamia and pistachio) Consume by the handful.
2. Add to a bowl of some tasty yogurt. I like Trader Joe's plain unsweetened greek yogurt.
As I continue to play around with this new found snack I will keep adding new places to use it. But in the meantime check out the benefits.
I will add that I had some concerns about the "energizing" aspect of the nibs. I am super sensitive to caffeine and am quick to palpitations with stimulants. I found that two tablespoons of cacao nibs midday left me awake and motivated but not crazed or uncomfortable. Still I think I will limit the consumption to adults only in our household. Zoe gets all the cacao she needs in her cacao superfood powder but that is another story......
