NaturaleBio Organic Raw Cacao Nibs Crunchy Chocolate Chips Alternative

I moved over to this after regularly using ceremonial cacao blocks, mainly because the cost of those blocks adds up quickly if you’re having it often. This has been a much more practical option without feeling like a compromise on quality. Texture: The powder is very fine and smooth. I’ve seen a few people say it doesn’t mix well, but I’ve had no issues at all. It blends easily with hot water as long as you give it a proper stir. No clumps for me. Taste: It has a deep, rich chocolate flavour. Slightly more bitter than ceremonial cacao, but that’s expected and actually works well, especially if you enjoy a stronger cocoa taste. I often add it to my coffee, and it gives a really nice change of flavour. Colour: A proper dark brown, exactly what you’d expect from good-quality cacao. It makes drinks look full-bodied rather than thin or watered down. Value for money: This is where it really stands out. You get a large amount, and it lasts much longer than blocks. Ceremonial cacao has a richer, creamier feel due to its higher fat content, but for everyday use, this is far more convenient. no chopping, grating or melting, just scoop and mix. Health: From a health point of view, it still offers strong nutritional benefits, being rich in antioxidants and fibre, a good source of magnesium, manganese and phosphorus, and containing natural compounds like theobromine that can help support energy levels and mood, making it a practical option for regular use. I’s a solid choice if you want something easy to use, good quality, and much better value for regular use.👍

I've been using cacao nibs for over a year now and tried various companies, so have had plenty of time to find a favourite - and that's NaturaleBio. Some other brands (especially a certain "Amazon's choice" sponsored add brand) still have a vinegar like smell & taste, as they've not been cleaned enough after the fermentation stage, some folks like that - I don't, especially as I use cacao nibs in my daily breakfast, smoothies and drinks. I find that NaturaleBio also sift off the husks better than others, so I'm no longer picking out tough husks from between my teeth - husks feel extremely gritty, almost sand-like against tooth enamel, so you'd definitely know the difference between it and actual nibs and not having to deal with that uncomfortableness is brilliant. As an FYI, I'm housebound disabled with multiple chronic illnesses and allergies, so all my food and drink has to be made from scratch by my carers, so needs to be easy for them to prepare, healthy, nutritious, easy to digest and above all, enjoyable! I've certainly found that with NaturaleBio Cacao Nibs, I have all those needs met, the antioxidants help boost my impaired immune system, as well as help regulate my GI transit without triggering my IBS, have a very satisfying crunch and texture and the taste is the best of several brands I've purchased. When my current cacao powder runs out, I'll be restocking with NaturaleBio for both powder and nibs, as they're definitely the best cacao supplier by far! True to their ancient origins, it's easy to see how the Mayans thought of cacao as "food of the gods" and used cacao beans as currency! *Edit 20/08/2020* Okies, so over a year later and I'm still happily purchasing this brand's cacao nibs. They continue to be a great quality product, the taste, texture and density is utterly superb! I find they reeeaaalllyyy do help boost my energy levels and immune system, so I continue to eat them daily as part of my breakfast, as well as a snack when I need a bit more energy or focus, they make a great alternative to drinking more coffee or those awful energy drinks. Considering I eat approx 1 table spoons worth, at least once a day, a 1kg bag lasts me a little over 3 months. While this product continues to do me good and providing it stays affordable, I'll keep on buying it! However, I would utterly appreciate it if these cacao nibs could be added to the "Subscribe & Save" program, so that I could have automatic deliveries, meaning I'll never have to go without, whenever I forget to order more, lol! *Damn you brain fog!* #SpoonieIssues *Edit 20/10/2020* Woohoo! This is now in the "Subscribe & Save" programme! I've just confirmed my subscription, now that's one less thing to worry about and I'll get a discount too, win win!

Very love in sugar, nice taste Enjoyed drinking every morning from hotel chocolate machine

Smells like cacoa and tastes like it too, better than a diff brand I tried which was a diff colour

It’s really good but only out one level table spoon in milk any more it’s really bitter

Good

A great tasting product that mixes well with liquid. Some I find are difficult to combine but this is easy to use and versatile. Rich flavour so I’ll keep purchasing at an okay price.

Lovely, good quality good price

Davvero molto molto buono, sto usando il cacao da anni per fare i dolci. Questo cacao non ha nulla che fare con cacao che lo troviamo nei grandi negozi, il suo profumo e gusto e unico.

Very nice cacao for natural health recipes...Blended with smoothies, mixed cold with almond milk and honey, and chocolate desserts..

I’m really happy with this NaturaleBio Organic Cocoa Powder. The quality feels great, and I like that it’s raw, organic, and unsweetened, so I can control the sweetness myself depending on what I’m making. The taste is rich and natural, and it works very well for drinks, smoothies, oatmeal, desserts, and baking. The 1 kg package is also a good size and lasts a long time, especially if you use cocoa regularly. Since it’s unsweetened, it does have a naturally strong and slightly bitter cocoa taste, but that’s exactly what I expected from a pure cocoa powder. Overall, it’s a great product and I would buy it again.

eerste cake gebakken met toevoeging van dit product en iedereen zeer enthousiast ! top !

Siendo cacao puro es agradable el sabor. Yo lo mezclo con crema de almendras y chia remojada
