5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome quality cacao nibs - powerful and satisfying.
I'm a certified chocoholic with a weight problem. I had heard that cacao nibs had all the health benefits of dark chocolate (way more, actually) without the sugar and junk food aspects. They are loaded with antioxidants and have those powerful endorphin releasing stimulants. They are also quite high in fiber (but also in saturated fats).I got my big pile of Navitas Naturals nibs and dug right in. Well - these are a bit of an acquired taste; but once acquired, they really satisfy. Cacao nibs are broken pieces of raw whole cacao beans that have been fermented and dried (and that's it). They are brown, with a dark cocoa smell, and a seductive texture that's partly like a coffee bean (crunchy and hard), and partly like a piece of chocolate (buttery with a crisp and then melting fat). The flavor initially gives you a cocoa hit and then a winey fermented flavor that is hard to describe. The aftertaste is bitter like baking chocolate. Like a coffee bean, there's some fibrous grit with the aftertaste after the creamy fats have dissolved on your tongue. My first impressions was "phew - that's disgusting". The winey flavor was off-putting and the bitterness in the aftertaste was hard to take. That didn't prevent me from immediately having more, however - as the crisp rich creamy quality made me want more. After a few pinches (maybe 3/4s of a tablespoon) I was flying! I mean, these things are POTENT. They really are loaded with all those endorphin releasing stimulants - and man they wake you up and then make you feel loved. Over the next few days I kept a big baggie of these in my pack and ate them whenever I wanted a cup of coffee. The stimulant effect is totally as strong as coffee - and more. To go with the speed, there's a feeling of well being and intellectual stimulation that's seductive in the extreme. I began to almost enjoy the odd powerful flavor. My only concerns at this point are whether these are addictive! About 1/2 way through my bag I have yet to hit a stem or a stone or an inedible piece (unlike what I've heard with some other brands). The flavor and texture is pretty consistent as I work my way through too - pretty good for a totally raw organic product.I found that I could grind them up into powder in the blender and use the powder to "cocoa" up various foods (especially ones bearing some sweetness). For example, after my workout I'd put a tablespoon of nibs and a tablespoon of chia seeds in the blender and grind nice and fine and then toss in a fist full of frozen blueberries, a glug of Walden Farms zero calorie chocolate sauce, 8 oz water and two scoops of whey protein powder (chocolate flavor, of course) and then blend. It all whips up into a rich chocolatey blueberry shake that packs the nutritional wallop of a steak dinner with omega 3 oils, TONS of antioxidants, and a wicked emotional and blood sugar pick-me-up. You can buy the powder pre-ground, but I imagine the goodies keep better in this coarsely cracked version.All in all - I think of cacao nibs as much as a drug like coffee as I do a food. People who eat ultra-dark chocolate for the health aspects should absolutely check nibs out because my body tells me they have WAY MORE of the chemical goodies of chocolate with far less sugar and fat. They also are brimming with a rich raw cocoa flavor that's weird and wonderful and hard to describe. If you are bent in this way - this stuff is wonderful.
5.0 out of 5 stars It’s the only cocoa nibs I use for my smoothie bowls!
I’m obsessed with my smoothie bowls, and so I’m also obsessed with its ingredients - and this is one of them, and my absolute favorite. I buy it monthly! There’s never any hard pieces, the flavor is perfect and it’s organic. It’s a good amount for the money, it’s good for your health, the smell is great and smells like delicious chocolate without all the sugar, but somehow still tastes like it’s sweetened, now that terrible raw cocoa flavor from bakers chocolate! Really, no need to get anything else, this is the one you want.

5.0 out of 5 stars NIBS ALTERNATIVE FOR CHOCOLATE CHIEPS
Nibs are a good alternative for chocolate chieps. They are crunchy, size of mini chocolate chieps, not what I expected but have good taste & no sugar. Will use & see how they taste in cookies. Good value.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, tastes wonderful
The quality and taste are Fantastic for the price. This is pure coco nibs If you've never had them before. Do understand this is the purest form of chocolate you can get. So it is not sweet at all and it is kind of bitter. That would be the true taste of chocolate. They are crunchy and yummy. You can make a drink with them if you use a grinder and a french press. It is sort of like hot chocolate but a much cleaner version. I also put it on a lot of different things along with greek yogurt, peanut butter, ice cream, desserts etc.
5.0 out of 5 stars Tasted moldy
I've bought this brand before and loved them, but the newest bag I purchased tasted moldy. Cacao nibs are meant to be bitter, but these ones were not edible.
3.0 out of 5 stars Hard pieces
They have a good flavor compared to other brand cocoa nibs I have tried but it had a lot of hard pieces that could potentially break a tooth if you aren’t careful.
Delicious
I absolutely love these cocoa nibs. I’ve tried a few different kinds but the value for money for this brand is amazing. They’re a perfect addition to any smoothie, or dessert!
Chocolate Bits
Not like chocolate chips, no sweetener in it. Don't think it will work for cookies etc, but tasted good on ice cream!
Nice nibs
Happy with product. Tastes good.
Tasty Protein Additive
We add it to desserts and oatmeal. I hate oatmeal and this makes it a yummy treat!
You get much per pack
