{"product_id":"cacao-nibs-raw-organic","title":"Cacao Nibs Raw Organic","description":"Cacao nibs are pieces of cocoa bean.\u003cbr\u003eCacao is unroasted (as opposed to cocoa).\u003cbr\u003eTastes like cocoa, but more intense here in its raw form.\u003cbr\u003eCan be used in confectionery, desserts, trail mixes and in baking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese cacao nibs are raw. Raw cacao beans are hard to come by, because they are usually roasted. Cacao is actually quite a nutritious plant, being high in antioxidants and minerals. Research has shown that cocoa can induce feelings of well-being. Raw cacao is the purest form of cocoa - no sugar, and not even roasted (as most cocoa powder is).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can eat these cacao nibs just on their own. They have an unusual bitter nutty taste - not entirely unlike cocoa powder, but recognisably different - largely due to the texture. You can also sprinkle cacao nibs into your muesli in the morning, in order to get your chocolate fix!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can use these raw cacao nibs in any recipe that calls for cacao nibs or cocoa nibs - note that cacao nibs and cocoa nibs are essentially the same thing, but that cacao is not roasted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese cacao nibs are still crunchy just like roasted cocoa nibs - just that they are dried without using excessive heat, and so retain more of the flavour and nutrients. The terms are confusing, but \"cacao\" tends to refer to the raw product, and \"cocoa\" to the roasted, but there are no strict definitions and, for all intents and purposes, they are the same thing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaw, organic cacao nibs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese cacao nibs were organically grown in Peru.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNutritional Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eValues per 100g\u003cbr\u003eEnergy 551 calories\u003cbr\u003eProtein 14.0g\u003cbr\u003eCarbohydrates 23.7g\u003cbr\u003eof which sugars 2.4g\u003cbr\u003eFat 53.8g\u003cbr\u003eof which saturates 32.4g\u003cbr\u003eFibre 21.1g\u003cbr\u003eSodium 0.07g","brand":"Infinity","offers":[{"title":"250g single","offer_id":43238901481700,"sku":"114344","price":6.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6Pack pre order req'd","offer_id":43292146467044,"sku":"114344","price":34.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2721\/8706\/products\/114344-550x550.jpg?v=1751560092","url":"https:\/\/wholefoodcoop.mom\/products\/cacao-nibs-raw-organic","provider":"Leicester Wholefoods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
