Organic Cocoa Nibs (300g)

Cocoa Nibs - an organic superfood from Minang Kakao - is a modern super-healthy food made from 100% pure cocoa beans that have been roasted at 130 degrees Celsius (which ensures the beans are free from all bacteria and germs that may have been introduced during the plantation process), and then carefully cracked and the seed coats removed. The health benefits of cocoa beans have been understood thousands of years ago by the Aztecs. They called it yollotl eztli, meaning "heart blood." However, in 2009, this claim received scientific support. Cocoa consumption is linked to a reduced risk of coronary heart disease and stroke (Medical Daily). Cocoa nibs contain 40 times more antioxidants than blueberries. Antioxidants derived from flavonoids have been shown to increase HDL, the good cholesterol, in the blood. Furthermore, cocoa beans are a good source of iron for the blood. Furthermore, this food of the gods contains phenylethylamine (PEA), which is beneficial for improving mood and energy. This occurs by increasing the stimulation of serotonin, dopamine, and anandamide production in the body. Cocoa nibs can be eaten directly as a snack or mixed into other foods such as chocolate, yogurt, milk, cereal, oatmeal, and more. They are highly recommended for people with and to prevent diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and stroke
