Future Essentials Roasted Cocoa Nibs

Description

#2.5 Can /13 oz

This world class cocoa comes slightly roasted. The crushed cocoa beans are from Ecuador.

Cocoa is naturally high in potassium and magnesium as well as an excellent source of antioxidants, with a pleasant semi-bitter flavor. In fact, chocolate contains more health-promoting catechins, a type of antioxidant, than green tea. Cocoa also contains amino acid tryptophan along with small amounts of phenylethylamine and theobromine which is said to elevate your mood.

It also can be used as substitute for nuts in baking goods, or even as a flavor kick in a cup of espresso. Sprinkle them on yogurt, in cereal and on top of ice cream for a flavorful treat. Turn a boring breakfast into something spectacular by mixing a few in your oatmeal. You can also grind them with your coffee beans, put them in smoothies and add them to trail mixes. They can even jazz up a peanut butter sandwich.

Caution: May contain natural occurring impurities such as pieces of the cocoa plant or fruit such as pieces of shell, wood, or small stones as this is a raw product.

Ideal storage temperatures are between 15 and 17 °C (59 and 63 °F). Also remember chocolate is generally stored away from other foods, as it can absorb different aromas so be sure to consume right away or put a lid on the can.
