A cacao nib is the heart of the cacao bean with the seed coat and germ removed. It's where cacao's true flavour develops; to be enjoyed without its flavour being influenced from the parts of the bean that have been removed. Like our wild-crafted cacao beans, they are unprocessed (i.e., not roasted) for a true raw food experience. The beans undergo a four-day fermentation period, are sun-dried, "nibbed" (separated from their seed coats and germs) then the remaining cacao pieces are packaged for you to enjoy.
