Cacao nibs - BIO

Cocoa nibs are small fragments obtained by splitting the Criollo cocoa bean. This bean comes from the cocoa tree, native to the Amazon region, scientifically known as Theobroma cacao L. Nibs are notable for their high antioxidant capacity, thanks to polyphenols that not only provide health benefits but also influence the flavor and quality of the cocoa. Among its active compounds are alkaloids such as theobromine and caffeine, known for their stimulating effects on the nervous system. They also provide essential minerals such as magnesium, iron and chromium. They are rich in B vitamins, which are essential for various bodily functions. In addition, its high fiber content helps maintain good digestive health.
