Cacao Nibs
Cacao nibs are roasted cocoa beans broken into small pieces. Typically nibs are what remains after cocoa beans have been roasted, ground, and winnowed, before they are fully ground into liquor. They are small and crunchy; while their flavor varies considerably, they generally have a “roasty” flavor mingled with fruity or nutty tones. They have become increasingly well known as an ingredient and snack in their own right.
