Cocoa nibs are small pieces of crushed cocoa beans, which are the seeds of the cacao tree. They are produced by fermenting, drying, roasting, and breaking down the beans. Cocoa nibs have a rich, chocolatey flavor and are often used in baking, cooking, or as a topping for various dishes. These nibs are considered a healthful snack, as they are high in antioxidants, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium and iron. They can be enjoyed on their own or added to smoothies, granola, and desserts for a crunchy texture and a boost of chocolate flavor.
