User questions & answers

Question:	Why isn’t this returnable? It is low quality and I don’t like it
Answer:	These nibs are raw. The flavor is much improved by toasting. I ground the nibs in a coffee grinder, then stirred them in a pan over medium heat until they were dark and smelled chocolatey. They did not melt. Toasting brings out the chocolate flavor, and reduces the acidic/raw flavor notes. I brew ground nibs in a tea pot using a in-pot strainer and 1 tbsp ground nibs / cup of water for 15-20 minutes.
Question:	Where is the origin of the cacao? Is it sourced from Ecuador or Peru
Answer:	Thanks for pointing out the difference. It is 2 boxes that are 2lbs each and not 5lbs. A new photo will need to replace the current one.
Question:	We’re these cocoa beans roasted before cracked and made into nibs
Answer:	Sadly, I did pay that much for the 2 boxes but remember these are 2lb boxes so bigger than the ones in store. If you can get it cheaper and don’t have a child obsessed with that brand, then do buy elsewhere
Question:	I saw on package this is fermented cacao, but is 'fermented' or 'raw' better? which is better for health? Thanks
Answer:	The boxes that I received did have the Aunt Jemima picture on them and name. Read they have anew name and logo that was released this week but it was not out when I bought this.

User questions & answers

Question:	The title says raw cacao nibs but the photo says cocoa nibs...there is a difference, is there not
Answer:	No
Question:	What country are they from
Answer:	I don’t measure just add and mix to a light paste. Use hot water for fluffier pancakes
Question:	is your cocoa powder and nibs alkaline free? Non dutch processed
Answer:	no syrup comes with this
Question:	The package doesn't say raw on it. Are these raw? Also, the ingredients list "organic" cocao, but why is there no certification on the label
Answer:	You can microwave them in the cup the way it's designed, and eat right from the cup; or you can use the same batter and pour from the cup into a pan and make individual pancakes. It's really good either way!

Product description

Healthworks Raw Organic Unsweetened Cacao Nibs are grown and harvested sustainably on small Peruvian farms to come to you in their purest, most nutrient-rich state. Healthworks Cacao Nibs are certified organic, pure, all-natural, vegan, and kosher.



Our cacao nibs are nutrient dense superfoods that come from peeled and crumbled cacao beans that are 100% raw and naturally fermented to remove phytic acid. The cacao nibs are then naturally sun-dried by our farmers in Peru. With a crunchy texture similar to a coffee bean, they provide a rich, pleasantly bitter chocolate flavor.



Cacao Nibs are known to contain theobromine, an energy booster which has a similar effect to caffeine. They also contain a rich supply of antioxidants, dietary fiber, magnesium, potassium and are low in carbohydrates and sugar.



Great with smoothies/drinks, cereals, yogurt, oatmeal, baked goods, cookies, ice-cream, trail mix, granola bars, coffee, snack foods, or as a fantastic chocolate chip substitute in any recipe for a tasty and fun meal!



Healthworks Raw Organic Unsweetened Cacao Nibs also go very well with Healthworks Cacao Powder, Chia Seeds, Maca Powder and Goji Berries.

Healthworks Cacao nibs are naturally sun dried while cocoa nibs are made by roasting the beans at high temps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Id love to buy this but i would just like to know if this organic cacao powder can be used for baking cake? thanks
Answer:	The only 2 ingredients listed are organic cacao and organic maca, so yes it contains maca. But doesn't give the ratio.
Question:	Is this cacoa certified against child slave labor
Answer:	Hi, I opened mine and there was a slight vinegar odor but it went away quickly when the bag was left open...the dark unsweetened chocolate has a distinct odor on it's on without tampering from all the chemicals. I would suggest opening the bag and let it breath for a little...like a fine bottle of wine. Then see what happens mine smell great and taste great. Hope this helps, good luck and happy baking!
Question:	where is it grown
Answer:	Hi Isabel L.,Unfortunately, the consistency of cacao nibs is not identical to chocolate chips. Raw cacao nibs are higher in protein and fiber and as a result, will not melt. Chocolate chips are a combination of cocoa powder, milk ingredients, sugar and other fillers that allow the chocolate to melt, whereas cacao nibs consist of tiny bits of cacao beans that been broken. Cacao nibs represent the true essence of cacao and are considered to be all-natural additions to cookies, muffins, cereals etc. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at [email protected] NutritionistViva Labs
Question:	What is the cadmium content of this product
Answer:	So I called the company and talked to a representative in quality control...their cacao is analysed by a 3rd party and certified organic. All the new packages will have the california new law P65 warning as they are complying to a law but it applies to water. The soil the cacao is growing in has a certain amount of minerals. The P65 new law is requesting them to let people know that some minerals in high concentration could be dangerous to your health. It doesn't mean this product has any of it. I read the 3rd party report and can vouch for its quality...i have been ordering this product for many years and as a nutritionist i am extremely careful with what i ingest.

User questions & answers

Question:	how does it taste
Answer:	We really like this product and it taste excellent. We use this item in our keto diet.
Question:	How do these taste are they sweet or bitter? How do they taste right out of the bag
Answer:	I’ve never purchased nibs. But, cacao in any form is not naturally sweet. It has no sugar, natural or otherwise. Whatever cacao is used for, it’s up to the user to sweeten as preferred, whether it’s with refined sugar, stevia, honey, etc. Cacao is not bitter nor sweet. It’s real food unspoiled by sugar.
Question:	why no information about lead and cadmium from seller? Is that secret
Answer:	Yeah... agreed!
Question:	Question for seller: Can you provide ppm for pertinent heavy metals, eg. cadmium, arsenic, lead, mercury, aluminum, etc.? Thank you
Answer:	Hi, yes we are always happy to share heavy metals test results. Please contact us through our site and we will be able to email them to you.

User questions & answers

Question:	Just got my cacao nibs. They smell and taste like vinegar? Have they gone bad
Answer:	I'm sorry but I've already finished/throw away the bag.I think there is a very small amount of caffeine in cacao nibs but I've not been feeling jittery or anything.I found u some info online about caffeine in cocao nibs hope it helps.Caffeine and TheobromineCaffeine is one of a family of chemicals called xanthines. Both caffeine and theobromine, another xanthine compound, occur naturally in cacao beans. Both are stimulants and mild diuretics, although theobromine is much weaker than caffeine. A research study by the Department of Thoracic Medicine, National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, suggests that theobromine may act as a cough suppressant.Effects of CaffeineCaffeine is a stimulant that affects the central nervous system, giving you a sense of alertness. It is also a muscle relaxant that is used medicinally to treat migraine headaches and asthma. According to guidelines published by the South Dakota Department of Health, 300mg of caffeine per day is a moderate amount for healthy adults. Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others, and will experience nervousness, headache, or stomachache if they consume too much caffeine.Amount of Caffeine in Cocoa PowderAccording to nutritional information published by the Hershey Center For Health And Nutrition, 1 tbsp. of cocoa contains about 8mg of caffeine and 106mg of theobromine. As a comparison, a cup of decaffeinated coffee contains between 2mg 4mg of caffeine, while a cup of regular drip brewed coffee contains between 65mg and 120mg of caffeine.
Question:	Can I melt the cocao nibs in a microwave and coat the cocoa onto the surface of a strawberry
Answer:	Probably because it is a food item and has been opened. I do not think Terrasoul is low quality. It is your individual opinion. I like their product.
Question:	So this product has the cal prop warning that it does contain chemicals
Answer:	Peru
Question:	How do the metals (Pd, Cd, As, Hg, and Al) rank in ppm for this product? Info found on other brands, but not this one
Answer:	Hi, Thank you for reaching out to us. Our Criollo variety cacao nibs are perfectly versatile and nutrient-dense bites created from peeled and crumbled cacao beans. They maintain the same quality and integrity of the whole bean, in that they are truly raw and processed at low temperatures. If you have any additional questions please reach out to us at [email protected]. Thank you, Bethany Terrasoul Superfoods

User questions & answers

Question:	Can nibs be ground into a powder form using a blender? A coffee-grinder
Answer:	GREAT question because the packaging doesn't say where it comes from. Certified by a company in CA and distributed by a company in AZ but nothing on the label stating where it was grown. I may reconsider using it although it does have a good chocolate flavor. The uncertainty of where it came from leaves me uncomfortable. Thanks for asking this question.
Question:	How well does this blend compared to the powder form? Can a strong blender such as the Vitamix do the same job
Answer:	According to foodensity.com, by 2025, the warning labels can be avoided only when cadmium is reduced to less than 0.800 ppm. 1.145 ppm is about 43% more cadmium than that limit. The current limit (in 2019) is 0.960 ppm. 1.145 ppm is 19% over that limit. In increasing order of mean cadmium content, Africa has the least, followed by Asia, then by Latin America. The African-origin cacaos are very nearly 0. That said, the caveat is that cadmium uptake differs by factors like the soil acidity, soil zinc content, and cadmium in water. After you eat it, cadmium absorption may only be around 3~5%. The really scary thing is how long cadmium hangs around in the body, and that’s probably why California and the EU sets such high standards for the heavy metal.
Question:	I ordered the sweet nibs and love them not realizing there are also just regular cocoa nibs. Is there a big difference
Answer:	Not on its own, id mix it with a protein shake and a good fat like avocado or coconut.
Question:	Can you use these in a chocolate cookie recipe? has anyone tried that idea
Answer:	I have the same question. We’re you able to find out? Iv done a few google searches without an answer. I absolutely will not buy this cacao powder if it’s not ethnically sourced/ fair trade compliant.

Why is Consuming Organic Cacao Nibs Beneficial For You

• Organic Cacao Nibs by Food to Live are ‘leftovers’ of processed, cracked, and shelled cacao beans. You can include them in many sweet and savory recipes as well as eat them while you are on a diet. The best way to store Organic Cacao Nibs is in a burlap bag lined with plastic. However, any airtight container will do.

• Organic Cacao Nibs nutrition value is rather high. They have about 6% of the recommended daily amount of iron in an ounce and a massive dose of Manganese, Magnesium, and Phosphorus. They are also rich in dietary fiber and antioxidants.

• Various nutrients and flavonoids from Organic Cacao Nibs make them perfect for your general wellbeing. They are particularly good for the heart and digestive tract. The best news is that as parts of crushed cacao beans, nibs also contain the endorphin-inducing chemicals. Therefore, foods with them make you happier.

• The easiest way to enjoy Organic Cacao Nibs is to add nibs to muffins, cookies, pancake batter, and various baked goods. They will give a pleasant chocolate crunch to any such treats. They are also a healthier alternative to sweet chocolate chips and are 100% vegan. Aside from baking, you can add organic cacao nibs to morning cereals, granolas, and trail mixes. They will boost the nutritional value of these foods and introduce a new dimension of flavor. Although these organic cacao nib recipes are less popular, you can also use them in savory dishes. Salads, stews, and sauces will benefit from them most. As Organic Cacao Nibs are unsweetened, they are safe to use in any recipe.

• You should try adding Organic Cacao Nibs to homemade chocolates and truffles. Drinks will benefit from them as well, but you might need to crush them further for that. Adding a spoonful of Organic Cacao Nibs to your morning smoothie is an excellent idea as well.

Why is Consuming Cacao Nibs Beneficial For You

• Cacao Nibs by Food to Live are ‘leftovers’ of processed, cracked, and shelled cacao beans. You can include them in many sweet and savory recipes as well as eat them while you are on a diet.

• Cacao Nibs nutrition value is rather high. They have about 6% of the recommended daily amount of iron in an ounce and a massive dose of Manganese, Magnesium, and Phosphorus. They are also rich in dietary fiber and antioxidants.

• The easiest way to enjoy Cacao Nibs is to add nibs to muffins, cookies, pancake batter, and various baked goods. They will give a pleasant chocolate crunch to any such treats. They are also a healthier alternative to sweet chocolate chips. Aside from baking, you can add organic cacao nibs to morning cereals, granolas, and trail mixes.

• You should try adding Cacao Nibs to homemade chocolates and truffles. Drinks will benefit from them as well, but you might need to crush them further for that. Adding a spoonful of Cacao Nibs to your morning smoothie is an excellent idea as well.

User questions & answers

Question:	is it hard? may i just chew it
Answer:	No it's not resealable. You will have to put it in something to seal it.
Question:	Regarding the cocao nibs the description says it goes through a low temperature process, does that mean its roasted or is it still considered raw
Answer:	Do not confuse baking soda with baking powder which does or may contain aluminum. These are two very different products with baking powder having a mix of baking soda with various acidic ingredients. Make sure you are purchasing pure 100% baking soda or sodium bicarbonate.Arm and Hammers is as aluminum free as Bob's Red Mill, which advertizes itself specifically to be aluminum free, and in the process has convinced most people I know that Arm and Hammers has aluminum when it does not.http://drsircus.com/medicine/sodium-bicarbonate-baking-soda/sodium-bicarbonate
Question:	Are the nibs still sourced from Peru
Answer:	I think it is......I know it has no aluminum in it and I drink it
Question:	Has the amount of cadmium and lead been determined for this product
Answer:	Yes, each box should contain four 16oz bags!

CACAO BENEFITS

Antioxidants which may fight free radical oxidation.

Theobromine which may provide a slow release of energy throughout the day for non-jittery natural energy.

Anandamide and phenylethylamine which may increase the feeling of love and happiness while blocking feelings of pain and depression.

Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, and Selenium

THEOBROMINE vs. CAFFFEINE

Unlike coffee, the caffeine content in cacao is extremely low and usually insignificant. The primary compound responsible for Cacao’s energizing properties is Theobromine.

Theobromine is a cardiovascular stimulant that has less impact on the central nervous system than caffeine. It is also a vasodilator and diuretic, and relaxes the smooth muscles including those in the respiratory system.

These properties have been shown in studies to promote healthy blood pressure and relaxation.

User questions & answers

Question:	CAn you use these in Carob chip cookies
Answer:	The Cuisanart 622-30G 12” skillet I received comes with a removable sticker label on the inside nonstick coating that says QuanTanium by Whitford. The Whitford website states cookware is “Our PFOA-free coatings, specifically designed for use in the Cookware market...” The QuanTanium coating fact sheet states ”PTFE, made without PFOA”.
Question:	Are these tested for contamination
Answer:	No it is not. The pan is made out of aluminum, which is not a ferrous metal. Induction cooktops require using cookware that a magnet will stick on. Cast iron and carbon steel pans are the natural cookware choices. Stainless steel pans have to be made with 18/0(zero) steel to be compatible. All other cookware metals require a thin layer of 18/0 stainless steel on the base of the pan for them to work on an induction stove.
Question:	what are the cadmium levels of this product
Answer:	Yes, it works the same as other pans.
Question:	What is the exact process of fermentation? If heated, at what temperature
Answer:	This is how the company answers this question on their site: "Like most of our products that we sell, our baking soda is minimally processed (with water) and a product of nature, nothing added (including aluminum), nothing taken out. There could be naturally occurring trace elements of aluminum in our baking soda due to the fact it is a mineral from the earth, but it is safe to say it is aluminum free."
