Guest guest Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I have been hearing and reading about cocao nibs and wanted to know if any of you eat these. Do you like them? What do they cost? Where do you get them and how many should be eaten a day. The only place I maybe, and I mean maybe I could find them would be at a Wild Oats Market that is about an hours drive from me. How long can they keep? Also, how do you all eat them? Just as is, like eating nuts, or some other way? Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hi Belinda This morning my first consignment of cacao nibs arrived (a few £s for a small bag from The Fresh Network in UK, but no doubt available many places mail order in the US. Lucky you if you can get them retail.). I had already had raw chocolate (Shazzie, Kate Woods, Jess Michael in UK, David Wolfe and probably many others in US) and loved it. These cacao nibs are VERY good! As to how many you should eat..I don't know. I wanted to just eat a very few of them, but - um - it's not working out that way...they are the most 'moreish' thing I've eaten since going raw (which probably means I shouldn't be eating them). My non-raw husband isn't impressed - says, politely, 'hmm, interesting...' I think anyone who likes 'dark' chocolate and/or raw chocolate will love them. They are a bit 'nutty', and you chew them, and keep them in your mouth for a while, in fact as long as possible they're so good! At the same time, I also received a packet of goji berries. I'd been somewhat irritated about what I'd perceived as hype about these rather expensive berries,and had consequently put off buying them. But they are VERY good as well - well worth ordering! When I'm wondering whether to spend, eg, £5-10 on a tiny bag of some special raw ingredient, I like to remind myself that I don't spend money on pizza/Chinese delivery anymore! I've almost managed to convince myself.
