The Cacao bean originates from the Theobroma Cacao tree which is sacred amongst the Mayans and Aztecs in the tropical climates of South America. Commonly it is the raw base for many chocolate manufacturers around the world today. They can be split into three parts – Cacao powders, nibs and butter. Bulk Organic Raw Cacao Nibs are produced by organic growers in Peru. Raw Cacao beans are initially harvested, by hand, as pods and then fermented to reduce their initial bitterness. After cleaning the dried beans in natural water, they are then peeled and the core is extracted to be broken into "nibs". This production process fully preserves the nutritional value of the Cacao without any additives. Bulk Organic Raw Cacao Nibs are a convenient snack or can even be used in baking, desserts or as confectionery. In baked goods, they will provide a crunchy texture with a slightly bitter and rich flavour. Organic Raw Cacao Nibs have a very similar taste to cocoa, with the main difference being that they are slightly more intense, as they are in their most natural form.
