The purest and rawest form of chocolate, cacao nibs are small pieces of crushed beans derived from the Theobroma cacao tree, which is native to Central and South America. Unlike cocoa, which has been roasted and heavily processed, raw cacao is untreated and unprocessed. This means that it has the full, rich flavor of dark chocolate with none of the added sugars, sweeteners, flavorings, thickeners, preservatives, emulsifiers or any other additives and that are normally found in regular chocolate products.

Health benefits of cacao nibs**
Support healthy cardiovascular function – A study that appeared in the journal Nutrients indicated that cacao nibs contain plenty of antioxidants, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, catechins and anthocyanins. These potent antioxidants can protect your heart against oxidative stress and help maintain healthy blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range.
Support healthy digestive function – According to a study from the journal Food & Function, cacao nibs contain high levels of dietary fiber. This natural abundance of dietary fiber can support healthy digestive function and promote regular bowel movements.
Support healthy cognitive function – Raw cacao nibs have high amounts of epicatechin, a potent antioxidant that supports optimal brain health. Additionally, a study that was published in the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology found that cacao nibs contain a phytochemical called theobromine, which can support good mental clarity and focus.
Support healthy immune function – Cacao nibs contain high levels of flavonoids, which are considered to be some of the world’s most potent antioxidants. This means they can help support your optimal immune function by helping your body fight oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
Support healthy nerve and muscle functions – Boasting an impressive nutritional profile, cacao nibs contain a useful combination of magnesium, healthy fats and antioxidants which can greatly benefit your nerve and muscle health.
Support healthy, glowing skin – Raw cacao nibs contain large amounts of antioxidants such as polyphenols, flavanols, procyanidin and flavonoids, which are known to support healthy, glowing skin.
Promote sensible weight management plans – High in fiber and low in calories, cacao nibs can help you feel fuller for longer. This makes cacao nibs a useful tool in helping you achieve your reasonable weight management goals, especially when accompanied by a well-balanced diet and regular exercise.
Naturally uplift your mood – According to a study from the Journal of Psychopharmacology, the antioxidant polyphenols in cacao nibs may be able to elevate one’s mood. Furthermore, cacao nibs contain a phytochemical called anandamide, commonly known as the “bliss molecule.” In addition, cacao nibs can help maintain your body’s natural production of serotonin, a natural compound also known as the “happy chemical.”
Organic Cacao nibs: One of the world’s most antioxidant-rich superfoods**
Flavanols are a type of flavonoid that possess potent antioxidant properties. According to a study that appeared in the journal Nutrients, cacao and chocolate products contain some of the highest flavanol levels of any superfood. However, since raw cacao nibs are unprocessed, they retain even more of the bean’s original antioxidants and can have nearly four times more antioxidants than dark chocolate.
The same study found that cacao nibs contain many other antioxidant compounds, including epicatechin, catechin, quercetin, procyanidins and other polyphenols.
Additionally, a study from the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry discovered that cacao nibs contain more antioxidants than red wine and black and green teas. Another study that appeared in the Chemistry Central Journal found that cacao nibs contain more antioxidants than blueberries, cranberries, acai berries and pomegranates.
With their natural abundance of antioxidants, cacao nibs are a tasty way to help combat oxidative stress throughout your body and promote your overall health.
