What are Cacao Nibs?
Cacao beans contain over 300 active substances, these include phenyl, ethylamine and serotine. Cacao beans are more well known for being the base for the making of chocolate. Our Cacao Nibs come in their raw form and can be used in a variety of ways such as cakes, cereals, shakes and baked goods.
Our Cacao Nibs contain antioxidants which can help fight free radicals and play a role in protecting DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative stress. They are also rich in minerals such as Copper, Iron, Manganese & Magnesium. Copper contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
Peak Supps Organic Cacao Nibs’ country of origin is Peru and come from the Theobroma Cacao. The beans used are harvested from their pods, after which only the finest quality beans are selected. They are then fermented to both reduce their bitterness and preserve their nutritional content. Then they cleaned and dried in natural water before being peeled and the cores are broken down into “nibs”.
*The production process fully preserves the nutritional value of the cacao without any additives.
