THIS IS THE BEST CHOCOLATE EVER! RAW, ORGANIC, UNPROCESSED CACAO NIBS! USE LIKE CHOCOLATE CHIPS, ADD TO SMOOTHIES, GRIND IN COFFEE GRINDER FOR CACAO POWDER, MAKE DESSERTS, ICE CREAMS, TRUFFLES OR EAT STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BAG! TASTES LIKE DARK CHOCOLATE BECAUSE IT IS DARK CHOCOLATE!

Just a bit of heaven

True, to the average American palate accustomed to oversweetened foods, this product may at first seem a tad hardcore. So, sprinkle it on your ice cream then. But seriously, it's a bit of heaven just to eat right out of the bag. Real, authentic chocolate taste, almost as if you're in Central America or Peru, gnawing on fresh cocoa beans right after they've been roasted.

My only complaint: the price. Along with shipping, it's a bit costly. But that won't keep me from ordering more.

Great for baking

I'm very happy to have discovered these & will definitely continue to use them in baking, it helps me cut back on the semi-sweet choc morsels with a healthier alternative.

As far as eating them raw - I don't recommend it at all!!! Very bitter taste raw. Maybe some would enjoy it, but I would venture a guess that it's a minority of people rather than a majority.

A rare delight

True they are a bit bitter, but not TOO bitter and not nearly as bitter as unsweetened baker's chocolate! There are also some taste components I noticed that I've never noticed with processed chocolate, a delicate floral essence and flavor that adds character. I was also surprised to find that raw cacao smells and looks like cooked chocolate, I thought the smell and brown colour came mostly from the cooking process.

I want to try grinding them up and sweetening with agave nectar, a delicious sweetener with a low glycemic index. I tried sweetening a ground up mix with stevia, I think I might've used too much and I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS! Stevia is a good sweetener for a lot of foods, but using too much leaves a bitter aftertaste.

I'd recommend this product to anybody who likes chocolate, especially raw foodists and chocolate connoisseurs. Enjoy!

Taste is bitter, but good for you

I love chocolate, and always buy the 70%-on up variety's so I looked forward to trying these.I expected some bitterness, but these tasted (when eaten raw) like burnt chocolate nuts.I still prefer to eat them this way though.

Tasty, but not for everyone

I decided to try these to see if I would get the same boost as I get from chocolate, but with fewer calories. I have been eating them straight from the bag, and I enjoy them that way. The taste is bitter, but not terribly so, and they have a slightly fermented taste that I like. The texture is pleasantly crunchy, much like roasted almonds. I'm not sure I would call these a low-calorie snack: one ounce is 160 calories, 100 of which are from fat. However, I only eat about a tablespoon at a time, a few times a day, and that is a lot less than one ounce. As for the boost, well, I'm not sure. If there's an effect, it's subtle.
