Cocoa nibs

Cocoa Nibs

Cocoa nibs are small, crushed pieces of roasted cocoa beans. They are the result of processing cocoa beans, the seeds of the cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao) and serve as the building blocks for various chocolate products.

Cocoa nibs have an intense, slightly bitter flavour with notes of chocolate and fruit. They have a crunchy texture and can vary in size, but they are generally smaller than chocolate chips.

Cocoa nibs can be used in a variety of culinary applications. They are often added to baked goods like cookies, brownies, and cakes, providing a crunchy texture and a deep chocolate flavour. Cocoa nibs can also be used as a topping for desserts, yoghurt, smoothies, or incorporated into granola and trail mixes. They can be ground into a coarse powder or used as a garnish to add a touch of bitterness and texture to dishes.
