NaturaleBio Organic Raw Cacao Nibs Crunchy Chocolate Chips Alternative | 1 kg. Pure cacao nibs from Theobroma cacao, for smoothies, bowls, baking and snacks.

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!

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.

Nice product , bag hard to reseal.

Very tasty! Much better than ordinary cocoa beans and nutritious. I put it in smoothies.

Great Product with a non sickening lovely flavour. Absolutely wonderful. Having it organic makes things even better. Will definitely purchase this product again.

Good quality, easy to mix and tastes good. Very good value for money

Nice taste, a bit pricey since is organic but the quality is good and the taste is better than anything you would fin on the supermarket. I use it for my porridge, coffee baking etc. Giving only 3 stars since on the label it does say "Tested for Heavy Metals" but the company behind does not provide a toxicology report on their website or amazon. So be cautious about this product and consume it moderately.

I order it regularly, very good product!

Ho provato questo cacao in polvere di NaturaleBio e la differenza rispetto ai prodotti da supermercato è evidente sin dall'apertura della confezione. Ecco i punti che ho apprezzato di più: Qualità e Gusto: Il sapore è pieno, deciso e non eccessivamente amaro, tipico del cacao lavorato a basse temperature che mantiene intatte le proprietà della fava cruda. Essendo non zuccherato, è perfetto per chi cerca un gusto autentico. Sicurezza: Un valore aggiunto notevole è il test per i metalli pesanti, un dettaglio non scontato che offre sicurezza alimentare, specialmente per un prodotto che arriva da regioni tropicali. Lavorazione: Si scioglie bene sia nel latte che negli impasti, senza formare troppi grumi, nonostante sia una polvere pura al 100%. Il prezzo è sicuramente un po' più alto della media, ma è giustificato dalla certificazione biologica e dalla qualità della materia prima. Se cercate un prodotto salutare e dal gusto superiore, vale assolutamente la spesa. 5 stelle.

This is the Best Cacao Powder I have ever used. Easily Dissolves in my Coffee in the morning. I love that this is a natural way to get my magnesium and other minerals instead of taking pills or it. It has a Excellent Chocolate Flavor. This is so much better for my body that processed cocoa powder. You have to start out slowly until your stomach gets use to it. It can cause a little stomach upset to start out. I love that I can buy it in a big bag so it last a while. Give it a try I think you will be glad you did.

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.

proper organic cacao great value 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
