From the manufacturer
Product Description
Healthworks Raw Organic Unsweetened Cacao Nibs are grown and harvested sustainably on small Peruvian farms to come to you in their purest, most nutrient-rich state. Healthworks Cacao Nibs are certified organic, pure, all-natural, vegan, and kosher.
Our cacao nibs are nutrient dense superfoods that come from peeled and crumbled cacao beans that are 100% raw and naturally fermented to remove phytic acid. The cacao nibs are then naturally sun-dried by our farmers in Peru. With a crunchy texture similar to a coffee bean, they provide a rich, pleasantly bitter chocolate flavor.
Cacao Nibs are known to contain theobromine, an energy booster which has a similar effect to caffeine. They also contain a rich supply of antioxidants, dietary fiber, magnesium, potassium and are low in carbohydrates and sugar.
Great with smoothies/drinks, cereals, yogurt, oatmeal, baked goods, cookies, ice-cream, trail mix, granola bars, coffee, snack foods, or as a fantastic chocolate chip substitute in any recipe for a tasty and fun meal!
Healthworks Raw Organic Unsweetened Cacao Nibs also go very well with Healthworks Cacao Powder, Chia Seeds, Maca Powder and Goji Berries.

I love cacao nibs so much, I’d easily admit that I’m addicted to them. Heck, why else would I buy a FIVE-pound bag of this stuff? After all, there’s just one cacao nibs eater in my family and that’s me. I’ll go through this entire bag in a few months.
I used to like dark chocolate. I still do. But now, if you give me a choice, I’d probably prefer to eat cacao nibs instead of dark chocolate. Why? Because nibs provide such a burst of extremely complex chocolate flavors…it’s far better than any kind of dark chocolate…at least that’s my perception. In addition, I love their nuttiness! I’m a nut lover; I love the texture and process of chewing nuts. For me, nuts (and nibs) are satisfying in some primitive way.
I started out eating cacao nibs raw and plain. That was okay for me, because I honestly enjoy slightly bitter tastes; for example, I love eating bitter veggies and drinking bitter beers. But eventually—with these nibs—I gravitated toward adding a slight bit of sugar to enhance the pleasure. Here are the three ways I generally eat nibs:
1) 2 tbsp nibs with 1 tbsp diced dried dates
2) 2 tbsp nibs with 1 tsp sunflower seed butter mixed with 1 tsp stevia sweetner
3) 2 tbsp nibs with ½ tsp soft (salted) butter and 1 tsp stevia sweetner
Recipes 2 and 3 both have enough oil to make the sweetener stick to the nibs. I eat them in very small mouthfuls of about ¼ tsp at a time. Each one of these recipes allows for a burst of exceptionally complex flavors. [I tried mixing the nibs with both honey or with maple sugar, but both of those strong flavors overwhelmed the complexity of the nibs’ own natural flavor, so I never tried that again. I particularly like recipes number 2 and 3 because they have a very tiny bit of salt as well as sweet and these both help enhance the complexity of the cacao flavors.]
You’re probably not even reading this review if you didn’t already know that cacao nibs are an outstanding source of nutrition. I don’t have enough space here to explain in detail about how healthy this food is for you. If you’re interested, please explore more on the Internet and learn why cacao nibs figure as one of the more important nutrient-dense superfoods, i.e., one of those exceptional natural foods that can really go to work to increase your health and help your immune system. There’s no disagreement among nutritionists and doctors: cacao is exceptionally good for you.
This Healthworks Certified Organic Raw Cacao is an excellent product. I was very troubled to see a few negative reviews with high votes. What they said was just not true…or if it was true at one time, it is no longer true. The taste of these nibs is definitely natural raw organic cacao nibs, not roasted. There are some very occasional small pieces of shell, but no more so than any other sellers. This seller offers these nibs at a very good price. That’s why I purchased them here. The last batch I ate cost significantly more but the quality and taste was no different. I’m extremely pleased I purchased these and I amhappy to give them a five-star rating.
When you open the bag and inhale the fragrance, you can tell how fresh they are. They're also very clean. Now if you've never eaten cacao nibs raw, you may not like them - they are not sweetened, and very hard. Don't think chocolate chips! But over time, I have come to enjoy them even as a snack on their own.
I use cacao nibs almost daily (so I love having the 5lb bag!) in what I call a "protein freeze" - as a much healthier alternative to ice cream treats - in my Vitamix made with protein powder (my favorite is Dymatize ISO 100), a little milk (of any kind), with some ice and usually a frozen fruit, either banana, strawberries, or cherries, that tastes so decadent and delicious! I'd rather eat that than ice cream! I like a little texture, so I put the nibs (2-3 Tbs) on top of the other ingredients. Use the tamper and as soon as it starts to blend on it's own (forming the four ball shapes) I stop it immediately. I eat it with a spoon. Sometimes for extra nutrition I'll throw in some frozen apple chunks, spinach (you can't taste it) and/or some cooked sweet potato chunks that I've frozen on a cookie sheet and put in a zip lock (I do the same thing with the spinach & apples).
Or I also enjoy them added along with nuts to oats or plain shredded wheat (that I also add protein powder to). They are a great way to bump up the fiber (practically zero net carbs) and healthy fat. You get all of the health benefits of "chocolate without the sugar, processing, and extra calories.
As far as quality, there are a few shells in here you have to eat around (4 stars).
These are raw, so you probably want to roast them first, it greatly improved the flavor. Just spread them out on a baking sheet, and bake at about 300F for 15-20 mins. Maybe sprinkle some powdered sugar on them too. I haven't tried sweetening these yet but it should taste better. Some things that these work for:
-Toppings on ice cream. Yum!
-Ground and mixed in when brewing coffee.
-Eat em straight if you want to force yourself to get used to them. They are surprisingly easy to eat once you get used to them. They also provide a tiny bit of alertness from the caffeine.
-Blend with smoothie. Also yum.
I'm sure there's more, but I'm not a hippie and won't use this stuff medicinally.
