Review: Consistent flavor and aroma, far less shell than competitor - The flavor and aroma and texture are far more consistent than a reasonably well-regarded competitor, indicating more quality control for bean sourcing and roasting. I've noticed little or no bits of shell so far, a definite improvement on an alternative that does have occasional un-chewable bits. I only leave the possibility that there may be some, because as with anything that MIGHT have shell or pits, a bit of caution is appropriate. Some may find the flavor a bit bland compared to other brands. But the flavor there is, is pleasant, and neither excessively bitter nor off. And the aroma when first opened is noticeable compared to the competition. For anything one wants to add the texture and flavor of cacao nibs to, or even just chewing a small handful at a time, these may well be the best.
Review: Using for snacking and DIY chocolate liqueur - As mentioned in the title, I am going to use these for a homemade chocolate liqueur that I do every year for sharing during my Christmas party. This is the first time that I have bought this brand and honestly normally just pick up whatever I can find, when I can find them, at my local grocery store. This year the grocery store didn't have them in stock so I headed here to see what was available and decided to pull the trigger on these since they had a lot of positive reviews. These are DELICIOUS, sweeter than expected despite being unsweetened and much better than the other brand nibs I have gotten in the past. I am used to having to pick out debris from some of the other brands but there is none in this product. They're also very fresh tasting - and don't have any bad smells indicating they have sat around a long time and all the nibs I have eaten (a couple small handfuls from the bag) easily chewable. Very happy with the price and quality and will probably be making this my go to brand.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 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...**
A: I have no affiliation with this company other than buying their product.  I regularly consume fairly large amounts of their powdered cacao product (usually ~25 grams/day), so with concerns about this stuff being grown in volcanic soil, I had myself tested and got the following results: lead 0.019 mcg/g, mercury below detectable limit, cadmium below detectable limit.  I take beneficial element supplements so I can't say where those are coming from, but I consume only highly filtered (carbon block) water. Note that ppm and mcg/g is equivalent, and reference range for lead is <=0.048 mcg/g      Hope this helps.

**Q: Can I  melt the cocao nibs in a microwave and coat the cocoa onto the surface of  a strawberry?**
A: 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 amazon@vivalabs.com.BesaRegistered NutritionistViva Labs

**Q: Just got my cacao nibs. They smell and taste like vinegar? Have they gone bad?**
A: Cacao nibs are the end product of fermented cacao beans. The fermentation produces lactic acid ethanol and acetic acid. The vinegar smell is from the last phase of cacao fermentation. They should have a vinegar smell. If you roast them at 250 deg f. for around 30 minutes you will have roasted nibs. not chocolate yet. The acetic acid smell will turn into a flavor profile specific to that cacao.

**Q: A lot of people are saying these are hard on the teeth.  If you suck on them, will they soften & melt in your mouth?**
A: They don't really soften like chocolate does. However, I don't think they are hard on your teeth at all. I would compare them to eating an almond or peanut. I think that because they smell just like chocolate that you expect them to melt in your mouth like chocolate does. There is no cocoa butter and no milk in these which is what makes a chocolate bar smooth and creamy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adds crunch to smoothies
*by C***L on November 22, 2025*

I frequently have a protein-packed smoothie for breakfast. I happened to mention to my doctor that I had ramped up my protein intake with the smoothies, but that I missed having something to chew. She siggested adding cacao nubs to it. I'd never heard of them. I first ordered just a small bag. After I pour the smoothie into my glass, I stir just a teaspoon in each glass. That adds a very satisfying crunch to the drink. When the small bag was getting low, I ordered the 1 pound size. The nubs don't turn my smoothie into a chocolate flavor. As I chew them, a very slight chocolate flavor hits my taste buds. Wonderful product!
