What Are Cocoa Nibs?

Chocolate Talk ,

While bagging cocoa nibs, it crossed my mind that many people may not know what these crunchy little morsels really are. Do they taste like chocolate? Are they good for you? Sourced from the “Bean to Bar” chocolate-making process, cocoa nibs are bits of the crushed cocoa bean that have been fermented, dried, roasted and crushed. Rather than sweet and light, they pack a powerful bitter taste. They are high in antioxidants and very good for you! Try cocoa nibs as a garnish, mix them in brittle or cookies, or add them to a salad or favorite granola blend. What is your favorite type of cocoa nib snack?
