Anthony's Organic Cacao Cocoa Nibs, 2 lb, Criollo Beans, Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Unsweetened

Highly recommended cacao nibs from a brand which we have learned to trust and always delivers high quality at a reasonable price. So good for heart and overall general health, many other plusses such as organic and sugar free, great straight out of the bag, pop a few in your coffee, and wonderful for baking. They are easy to use and require no prep. Just be aware that the texture is unlike the usual forms of chocolate you may be used to, and there is no sweetness. Very slight possible downside is that cacao nibs are best (most nutrient dense) when raw, and there is no mention on the package whether these are raw or minimally processed.

If you're expecting chocolate chips, prepare for a character-building experience. These cacao nibs are what chocolate was before sugar arrived and started making friends. They're crunchy, intensely chocolatey, slightly bitter, and surprisingly satisfying once you stop expecting them to taste like dessert. I throw them into yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, and occasionally eat a few straight from the bag when I feel the need to remind myself that adulthood is full of difficult choices. The quality is excellent, the flavor is rich, and the bag lasts a long time. It's like chocolate with all the fun removed and all the health benefits left behind.

I love the fresh cacao aroma of these nibs. They give a pleasant chocolatey taste to my chia pudding or cashew butter custard. I am usually leery about products that focus so much on quantity to give the impression that you are getting great bang for the buck however, even though these provided a great price for the volume I decided to give these a shot and I was very impressed with the high quality of these nibs. I enjoy tasting the notes in fine chocolates so it would be fun if they were able to say where specifically they were grown so I could try different bags out and see the difference I can pick out. Obviously, since cacao nibs are just broken cocoa beans there is no sugar and have a bit of a bitter flavor naturally. Since the cocoa butter is not removed from the nibs though the bitterness is not nearly so potent as cocoa powder on its own. I love using these for my homemade granolas and puddings. They give such a pleasant taste and texture and since I seek to have minimal if any sweet in my food this has been one item I keep stocked. I've been going through bags of these for over a year.

Delicious addition to baking, sundaes, etc. Anthony's brand is of consistent size and density - good crunch without the occasional surprising hardness some have had. And he pricing is on the slightly low end in comparison with other suppliers here.

I bought these for making coffee and they are great for coffee. Not as tasty as other brands I've had and I prefer another brand for nibbling on or putting in other foods. These are good for the price and make a delicious coffee for sure! I would recommend them.

Great quality as always! Amazing flavor too

This was my first timing baking with cocoa nibs and Anthony's Organic Cacao nibs did not disappoint. If you've never had cacao before it's different from the chocolate you're used to since this is more of the "raw" form. It has a slightly bitter taste to it. If you love dark chocolate or black coffee you'll love these cocoa nibs. I used the cocoa nibs to make cookies with and they were a hit with my family and coworkers. I highly recommend them. Anthony's is a really good reliable brand.

We love this brand!! The cocoa nibs are always fresh and taste amazing!
