Raw Cocoa, Cocoa Nibs and More

Raw cocoa refers to cocoa beans in their unrefined state. These are separated from their kernels, husks and skins using steam and subsequent drying processes. Finally, the beans are roasted, resulting in the product known as raw cocoa. Even today, raw cocoa is regarded by many as the "food of the gods". It has been highly sought after for centuries and was even considered sacred by some ancient civilisations. This superfood possesses a flavour profile that is slightly bitter and pleasantly tart. Cocoa beans contain a variety of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The high levels of magnesium, calcium and iron are particularly noteworthy.
