Terrasoul Superfoods Raw Organic Criollo Cacao Beans, 1 libra

Terrasoul Superfoods Raw Organic Criollo Cacao Beans, 1 libra

Q: The product description states that these cacao beans are 100% raw, but on the back of the pouch, it says that they are fermented to give them a creamy flavor. For how long were they fermented and what was the fermentation process?

Heather,They are fermented in wooden boxes over a weeks time and carefully monitored, turned, and mixed over this period ensuring the cacao bean's temperature never exceeds 114 degrees during this process.Best Regards,Terrasoul Superfoods

Q: can you grind these and brew them like coffee?

Yes, you can! Use a French Press, and allow them to steep for about 10 minutes. I find that stirring a couple of minutes after adding the water and at about 6 minutes helps, as the air trapped in the cocoa expands as it heats up and causes foam to develop. Stirring breaks the foam and releases the hot air, allowing the water to steep the cocoa. Delicious with a little sweetener, and a small splash of milk (like one might add to tea) really makes this a treat.

Q: Can these be roasted to make chocolate?

Yes they can. I roast them all the time to make Mexican chocolate discs.

Q: Are the beans easier to chew than cacao nibs? When I chew the nibs I worry I'm going to break a tooth!

I haven't tried to chew beans. Overall it's great product.
