Navitas Naturals - Organic Sweetened Cacao Nibs - 4 oz. (Pack of 3)

Navitas Naturals Sweet Cacao Nibs are partially ground cacao beans (the source of all chocolate products) taken to the next delicious step. These nibs are rolled into their delectable raw cacao liquor, and then lightly mixed with 100% organic sugar cane juice - a combo that may just become your favorite cacao treat of all. This crunchy, sweet, all natural chocolate product is reminiscent of a chocolate-coated coffee bean, but even better! With a treat this healthful and invigorating, it doesn't take much imagination to understand why ancient Mayan cultures crowned cacao "The Food of the Gods." Add in the soaring levels of antioxidants, as well as trace minerals like magnesium and iron, and you can feel good in every way about enjoying this superfood.

Cacao has long been enjoyed for its healthful and invigorating properties in Mexican, Central, and South American cultures. In fact, Mayan civilizations associated cacao with the food that their gods chose to consume and thrive upon. So impressed were the Mayans with cacao’s taste (and its ability to promote energy), that cacao paste was frequently used in sacred rituals, with an annual festival held devoted entirely to honoring the “cacao god.” Today, we continue to celebrate the bean of the cacao plant as the nutritional and flavorful source for all chocolate and cocoa products.
