Nature’s Superfoods’ Organic Raw Cacao Nibs (pronounced ‘Ka-CAW’) come from organic unroasted cacao beans of the premium variety Criollo (deemed as ‘king of cacao’ for its fine flavor & fragrance). These nibs are actually cacao beans that have been peeled and crushed into cacao bits (nibs).
The raw cacao beans are lightly fermented to bring out the cocoa flavor, increase nutrient availability and reduce phytic acid content. Minimally processed and unroasted, raw cacao contains higher amounts of antioxidants, magnesium, iron and potassium than the highly processed, roasted cocoa. In short, the less heat applied, the more antioxidants and important nutrients you get from cacao. Every stage is carefully monitored in order to maximize nutrient retention.
RAW CACAO: Rich in Flavonoids, Polyphenols, Magnesium, Sulfur, Good Fats, Minerals and Vitamins. The flavonoid antioxidants and high magnesium content in cacao have significant benefits for your heart including helping to lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation. Raw Cacao also contains high amounts of bliss nutrients that lift one’s mood, for example PEA – the adrenal-related chemical that our bodies produce when we fall in love, and Anandamide – an endorphin that the human body naturally produces after exercise. Not forgetting Tryptophan (mood-enhancer and a commonly deficient amino acid in those who consume a diet of mostly cooked food) and serotonin (a neurotransmitter that acts as an anti-depressant). All these bliss nutrients make Raw Cacao an excellent natural wholesome anti-depressant , and a great perk-me-up. Raw Cacao simply makes one happy!
