Cacao Nibs Criollo in Coconut Nectar Organic

The cocoa bean is home to quality chocolate and cocoa...

...we've sweetened it with natural coconut nectar and created a "dish of the gods" that invites you to munch without a hint of guilt.

The fruit of the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao) is botanically classified as berry-like fruit, and tastes like dark chocolate. Unroasted, they are an excellent way to give the body energy, a good mood, a clear mind and support a healthy lifestyle.

Cacao beans are 100% organic and raw, sourced from Peru. The coconut nectar is organic and the country of origin is Indonesia.

Cocoa beans hide a rich spectrum of benefits for physical health and a clear mind

• Flavonoids are substances with antioxidant activity, i.e. they protect the body from the effects of free radicals. They have a wide range of beneficial effects, for example, they contribute together with calcium to the harmonious function of the heart and blood vessels and to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. Their content decreases significantly when cocoa beans are roasted. In addition to cocoa beans, they are also found in fruit, vegetables, tea and red wine.

• Anthocyanins are plant pigments of purple colour. They are also found, for example, in blueberries and acai, where they contribute significantly to the beneficial effect on the human body.

• Thanks to their iron and magnesium content , they help to reduce fatigue. Specific substances that also contribute to this effect are the purine compounds theobromine and, to a small extent, caffeine. Both substances are quite similar in their effects due to their affinity, but the effect of theobromine is about ten times weaker than that of caffeine. Therefore, neither cocoa beans, nor other snacks made from them, need be concerned about 'over-stimulating the body' or being 'addictive' in the way that coffee is.

On the contrary, both cocoa beans and high-quality pure chocolate induce a pleasant feeling of physical fitness and mental alertness.

• The sweet nectar of the coconut palm is a great natural liquid sweetener, has a mild taste, similar to wildflower honey, a low glycaemic index and a high nutritional value.
