What are Cacao Nibs?
The word is derived from Theobroma Cacao, which is the taxonomic classification for the cacao tree. Cacao can be used to describe the pods, seeds and trees or the product once the bean has been fermented, dried and roasted.
The cacao trees grow brightly colored pods that when broken open contain beans covered in a milky white substance. Once these beans are recovered and cleaned, they are fermented, dried and eventually roasted. After they are roasted, they can be broken up into pieces, which are called nibs.
Theorbromine is the alkaloid compound in cacao responsible for its stimulating effects. Much like caffeine, it is a heart stimulant. In contract to caffeine, cacao nibs give a longer, softer energy from theobromine without that peak and sudden dip that many people experience with caffeinated beverages like coffee.
