Terrasoul Superfoods Raw Organic Cacao Nibs, 16 Oz, Superfood Crunch for Smoothie Bowls, Nut Butter Spreads, Oatmeal and DIY Chocolate Creations

“Best cacao nibs I’ve ever tasted — fermentation makes all the difference!” I absolutely love Terrasoul cacao nibs! The flavor is worlds apart from other brands I’ve tried. Because they are fermented, the taste is much richer, smoother, and naturally a little sweeter. The fermentation process takes away that harsh bitterness you often find in raw cacao nibs, and instead leaves a deep, complex flavor that feels almost fruity and wine-like. I also noticed the nibs themselves are larger and more satisfying to snack on, making them perfect to eat straight, sprinkle over smoothie bowls, or blend into recipes. On top of taste, there are real health benefits to the fermentation process: • It helps break down natural bitterness and astringency, making nutrients easier to absorb. • Fermentation can increase antioxidant activity and enhance the bioavailability of polyphenols. • It may also reduce certain compounds (like phytic acid) that can block mineral absorption, meaning your body can make better use of cacao’s natural magnesium, iron, and zinc. • Probiotic metabolites formed during fermentation may even support gut health indirectly. Terrasoul has nailed it — these cacao nibs are hands-down the best I’ve ever had. Once you try fermented nibs, there’s no going back! 🍫✨

These taste great. They're chocolately, crunchy, and pleasantly bitter. They seem fresh and high quality. Opening the bag releases a nice chocolate aroma. I've used them in granola, cereal, yogurt, smoothies, and cookies so far. And just eaten them plain. Even my 2 and 4 year old nieces like them. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. I've already bought them again.

the nibs themselves are nice tasting and sourced from a company that has a good reputation.

My wife and I were interested in trying Cacao Nibs so we bought these. I love them - they have a nutty, crunchy, chocolate taste with a bit if bitterness, and I could just eat them plain as they are. My wife likes them, not as quite as much as she prefers some sweetness. But she enjoys them mixed in with yogurt or in a smoothie. Excellent health benefits - these nibs are a good quality product for a good price, recommended, will be purchasing them again.

What a wonderful snack for me, who tries not eat sugar. It satisfies my desire for something chocolate-like. Great to cook with.

5 stars because it is exactly what it said it would be, it is high quality, has very few if any shell fragments, has no mold or mildew flavor, and seems to be all-around exactly what you're looking for if you like this kind of thing. But, it tastes like crap. I mean, who eats this stuff!? I bought 2 bags because I'm a chocolate LOVER and have cravings like crazy, but it turns out, after much online research, that the delicious chocolate and brownie flavor we all love so much ONLY COMES IF THE PRODUCT IS FERMENTED, TOASTED, AND THEN **PROCESSED WITH ALKALI**. Yep! It's the "Dutch processing", or processing with alkali that makes cocoa taste so good! So, this stuff has an extremely high calorie count since it's filled with cocoa butter, but it tastes awful AND does not have the deep chocolate flavor I want because it's not processed with alkali. So, if you wanted to eat fermented cacao garbage instead of delicious, chocolatey alkali-processed cocoa/cacao flavor, this stuff's for you! It has all the calories you want to make you fat like chocolate, without giving you the flavor of chocolate. :) Enjoy. :) Seriously though: 5 stars: nothing wrong with the product otherwise.

I've purchased Ashwagandha powder & Cacao Butter (twice) from Terrasoul and they were just fine, so I thought I'd try the Cacao Nibs. Eversince being diagnosed 4 years ago with 2 disabling autoimmune conditions I have been very conscious about using food-based "medicines" if you will, to improve my quality of life and wellbeing. I've been using Cacao nibs for nearly 4 years as part of this journey. I use 1 tablespoon every day as an additive in my "buttered" coffee & occasionally a 2nd serving in my daily smoothies. Because I've had good bags and not so good bags over the years, I think I know what to expect. I prefer the nibs over the powder because I'm getting as close as possible to the original form in taste & nutritional value. I also know what NOT to expect in taste: sweet(er) like a dark chocolate. But, I've never had TERRIBLE ones like these before. Even though the smell was very offputting, I tasted them anyway. I had to spit the gravel out! They are dusty, dried-out, full of debris, & beyond bitter like they are rancid! PLUS the expiration date is ONLY 2 MONTHS AWAY!! I'm extremely disappointed especially because I TRUSTED this brand based on previous purchases; they are expensive; AND although purchased using PRIME they are not returnable!!! Never again.

OMG! I have had criollo cacao in the past as I’ve read this is the most nutritious type. But THESE FERMENTED NIBS surpass the whole bean and powder that I’ve used previously. I HIGHLY recommend and will be a loyal customer.
