Terrasoul Superfoods Raw Organic Cacao Nibs, 16 Oz, Superfood Crunch for Smoothie Bowls, Nut Butter Spreads, Oatmeal and DIY Chocolate Creations

This is my third purchase of these cacao nibs. Great quality and all natural taste. Great to snack on by itself or add to an acai bowl or smoothy, but I especially like to grind a pinch or two in with my freshly ground coffee beans for a fantastic chocolate undertone to my coffee.

“Best cacao nibs I’ve ever tasted — fermentation makes all the difference!” I absolutely love Terrasoul cacao nibs! The flavor is worlds apart from other brands I’ve tried. Because they are fermented, the taste is much richer, smoother, and naturally a little sweeter. The fermentation process takes away that harsh bitterness you often find in raw cacao nibs, and instead leaves a deep, complex flavor that feels almost fruity and wine-like. I also noticed the nibs themselves are larger and more satisfying to snack on, making them perfect to eat straight, sprinkle over smoothie bowls, or blend into recipes. On top of taste, there are real health benefits to the fermentation process: • It helps break down natural bitterness and astringency, making nutrients easier to absorb. • Fermentation can increase antioxidant activity and enhance the bioavailability of polyphenols. • It may also reduce certain compounds (like phytic acid) that can block mineral absorption, meaning your body can make better use of cacao’s natural magnesium, iron, and zinc. • Probiotic metabolites formed during fermentation may even support gut health indirectly. Terrasoul has nailed it — these cacao nibs are hands-down the best I’ve ever had. Once you try fermented nibs, there’s no going back! 🍫✨

These taste great. They're chocolately, crunchy, and pleasantly bitter. They seem fresh and high quality. Opening the bag releases a nice chocolate aroma. I've used them in granola, cereal, yogurt, smoothies, and cookies so far. And just eaten them plain. Even my 2 and 4 year old nieces like them. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. I've already bought them again.

While the bag occasionally has shells in it, I like these cacao nibs and eat them every day.

I’m making my own chocolate.

5 stars because it is exactly what it said it would be, it is high quality, has very few if any shell fragments, has no mold or mildew flavor, and seems to be all-around exactly what you're looking for if you like this kind of thing. But, it tastes like crap. I mean, who eats this stuff!? I bought 2 bags because I'm a chocolate LOVER and have cravings like crazy, but it turns out, after much online research, that the delicious chocolate and brownie flavor we all love so much ONLY COMES IF THE PRODUCT IS FERMENTED, TOASTED, AND THEN **PROCESSED WITH ALKALI**. Yep! It's the "Dutch processing", or processing with alkali that makes cocoa taste so good! So, this stuff has an extremely high calorie count since it's filled with cocoa butter, but it tastes awful AND does not have the deep chocolate flavor I want because it's not processed with alkali. So, if you wanted to eat fermented cacao garbage instead of delicious, chocolatey alkali-processed cocoa/cacao flavor, this stuff's for you! It has all the calories you want to make you fat like chocolate, without giving you the flavor of chocolate. :) Enjoy. :) Seriously though: 5 stars: nothing wrong with the product otherwise.

One of the nastiest things I’ve ever tasted. Spat it out. I guess I thought it would taste like a bitter dark chocolate. Didn’t realize it wasn’t returnable, so now I’m out $20. Other TerraSoul products have been great. Disappointed.

I got it for being real cacao.
