Product description

Whole roasted dehusked cocoa beans, or nibs, are the flavorful heart of the cocoa bean after the shell has been removed and the bean has been roasted to develop its signature chocolate taste, aroma, and color. These nibs are rich in flavor-forming compounds, and their dehusked, roasted form facilitates further processing into cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and ultimately, chocolate products.
