- Raw cacao nibs are made from organic cacao beans that have been peeled and chopped. They're not sweet, but have an intense cocoa flavor with a tiny hint of bitterness (in a good way). They're addictive. Luckily, they're also really healthy for you- considered a superfood high in iron, fiber and antioxidents.
