Cacao Nibs: 250g

Cacao Nibs are formed by harvesting the cacao fruit before removing and drying the seeds, which are best known as cacao beans. Cacao Nibs are simply the beans broken into pieces slightly smaller than rice grains for easy consumption. 

Cacao (natural, unprocessed raw chocolate) is derived from Theobroma Cacao beans, and literally means Food of the Gods. In traditional Aztec and Mayan cultures, cacao was considered a sacred food and was so highly revered it was even used as currency.

Raw Cacao contains over 300 compounds including: Protein, Fibre, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Calcium and Magnesium. Cacao is also high in Sulphur, a beauty mineral which helps form strong nails and hair. 

In addition, Cacao contains the chemicals Phenylethylamine (PEA) and Anandamide. 

PEA is an adrenal-related chemical that is naturally created when you’re excited. It also plays a role in helping you to feel focused and alert; it can cause your pulse rate to quicken - resulting in a similar feeling to when you are excited, or falling in love!

Anandamide is a lipid and another 'bliss' chemical found in raw chocolate. It already exists in your brain, especially when you feel good - it works to increase mood and decrease depression, and yet, it is not addictive like caffeine.
