Native to tropical regions in Central and South America, Theobroma cacao was traditionally used for its healthful properties and as a ceremonial beverage by ancient Mesoamerican cultures. Our cacao nibs are lightly roasted to bring out deep, earthy flavors and a slight bitterness. Organic, fair trade, roasted cacao nibs can be enjoyed in baking recipes, savory dishes like mole, smoothies, liquors, or simply as is.
