I know nibs are not intended to be soft but please do not try to chew immediately. Very very hard, good neutral flavor but hard to blend in blender. I love them with some dates plant based cool whip and peanut butter, great little mousse.

I've been buying Healthworks Raw Organic Cacao Nibs for three years. I decided to give them a try when the other brands I had been using (1lb and 2lb bags), prices kept going up. Not only was the price per pound in the 5lb bag a much better buy, but I was thrilled to discover how great the quality is!
When you open the bag and inhale the fragrance, you can tell how fresh they are. They're also very clean. Now if you've never eaten cacao nibs raw, you may not like them - they are not sweetened, and very hard. Don't think chocolate chips! But over time, I have come to enjoy them even as a snack on their own.
I use cacao nibs almost daily (so I love having the 5lb bag!) in what I call a "protein freeze" - as a much healthier alternative to ice cream treats - in my Vitamix made with protein powder (my favorite is Dymatize ISO 100), a little milk (of any kind), with some ice and usually a frozen fruit, either banana, strawberries, or cherries, that tastes so decadent and delicious! I'd rather eat that than ice cream! I like a little texture, so I put the nibs (2-3 Tbs) on top of the other ingredients. Use the tamper and as soon as it starts to blend on...

Most Americans are used to sugary, processed dutch cocoa. But I know how horrible processed foods and sugar are for our health, and how damaging it can be for our minds and bodies in the long run.
Cacao is natural, healthy and delicious, but it's something you have to get used to. It's not particularly sweet like chocolate bars.
These raw cacao nibs from Healthworks are pretty bland and slightly bitter. It's not sweet, and if you're expecting it to be, you won't like it.
However, I like the quality of this food, and I especially love how good it is for our bodies. If you cook, or want to experiment with healthy recipes, this is perfect.
I like to experiment with herbal tea blends, so I decided to mix the cacao nibs with peppermint leaves. I added them to empty tea filters with echinacea & spearmint leaves, and elderberries.. with the most prominent flavors being the cacao and peppermint. It came out really good.. you can taste the chocolate flavor, and it's great with the mintiness of peppermint.
I made cold teas in glass bottles so I can enjoy them whenever, wherever.
These cacao nibs are perfect for smoothies and low-fat desserts.. it...

Please note that I bought this product in February of 2015 and that the reviews already on Amazon with a lot of negative votes are all over two years old. I am no expert on cacao nibs, but I absolutely love them and I can certainly tell bad tasting nibs from a good ones. These are most assuredly excellent-quality raw organic cacao nibs; no doubt about it. They are not roasted, as one reviewer falsely claimed; they’re raw and natural. And so far as finding a small piece of shell every now and then, don’t let any reviewer imply that any manufacturer can sell you nibs entirely free from tiny bits of shells. It just can’t be done! Some tiny bits of shells do make their way into the bags. It just goes with the territory. The shells are the exact same color as the nibs, there is no way for either a machine or a human to detect the difference except by putting them in your mouth and trying to chew them: the nibs crunch and burst into a buttery symphony of flavors; the bits of shell, stop your teeth dead in mid chew and make you want to spit out the entire mouthful. It happens; you just have to deal with it. Don’t worry, it doesn’t happen often.
I love...
