Question 1

1: Can you use these in a chocolate cookie recipe? has anyone tried that idea? 
2:: Do the Natural nibs taste like Bitter Sweet chocolate?

Accepted Answer

1. Yes totally as long as your guests aren't expecting normal choc chip cookies. I use them in my 4 ingredient oatmeal banana cookies I make for myself. 2. Bittersweet chocolate is processed chocolate that has added sugar, flavors, etc. These are raw cacao nibs and are different. Don't expect chocolate chips.

Question 2

I ordered the sweet nibs and love them not realizing there are also just regular cocoa nibs.  Is there a big difference?

Accepted Answer

I have not had the sweet nibs. I avoid all glycemic raising sugars if I can. I love these but they are not sweet. I add them to yogurt and use stevia. The longer they sit in the yogurt the softer they are. I saw a post somewhere about mixing the raw cacao powder and these together. That sounded good too. I buy these because they are raw. Not heated above 105 degrees.

Question 3

Will the product arrive melted if shipped under hot summer climate? Considering this is being shipped to Houston.

Accepted Answer

The response from the seller, I guess, states that the unprocessed pieces of the cacao seeds (nibs) don't contain any cocoa butter.  So where does cocoa butter come from if not from the nibs?  If you look at the Nutrition Facts on the package you'll see that the fat content is around 21%...that's cocoa butter.  The nib is a seed (containing cocoa solids and cocoa butter) not a chocolate chip which is what, among other things, chocolate manufacturers make from the nibs after a significant amount of processing.  Since most cacao seeds (containing the nib) are shipped to manufactures in the shell, I haven't seen anything to indicate that there would be a problem with shipping the unshelled nibs...like shipping unshelled peanuts.

Question 4

Is there caffeine in cacao nibs?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry but I've already finished/throw away the bag.I think there is a very small amount of caffeine in cacao nibs but I've not been feeling jittery or anything.I found u some info online about caffeine in cocao nibs hope it helps.Caffeine and TheobromineCaffeine is one of a family of chemicals called xanthines. Both caffeine and theobromine, another xanthine compound, occur naturally in cacao beans. Both are stimulants and mild diuretics, although theobromine is much weaker than caffeine. A research study by the Department of Thoracic Medicine, National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, suggests that theobromine may act as a cough suppressant.Effects of CaffeineCaffeine is a stimulant that affects the central nervous system, giving you a sense of alertness. It is also a muscle relaxant that is used medicinally to treat migraine headaches and asthma. According to guidelines published by the South Dakota Department of Health, 300mg of caffeine per day is a moderate amount for healthy adults. Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others, and will experience nervousness, headache, or stomachache if they consume too much caffeine.Amount of Caffeine in Cocoa PowderAccording to nutritional information published by the Hershey Center For Health And Nutrition, 1 tbsp. of cocoa contains about 8mg of caffeine and 106mg of theobromine. As a comparison, a cup of decaffeinated coffee contains between 2mg 4mg of caffeine, while a cup of regular drip brewed coffee contains between 65mg and 120mg of caffeine.
