What it is
Cacao nibs are bits of dried, fermented, and roasted cacao beans. They are the raw form of chocolate, offering a bitter, intense chocolate flavor. The beans are broken into small pieces after roasting to create the nibs.
Why it's used
Cacao nibs are used to add a rich, unsweetened chocolate flavor and a crunchy texture to foods. They are often found in baked goods, chocolate products, granola, energy bars, and as a topping for yogurt or ice cream.
Health notes
Cacao nibs are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. While research suggests potential cardiovascular benefits from compounds in cacao, more studies are needed to confirm these effects at typical consumption levels. JECFA has evaluated cacao products, and EFSA has also reviewed compounds found in cacao.
Allergen info
Cacao nibs are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
