All you need to know about Cacao Beans

Taste and texture

Whole cacao beans have a firm bite and a rich, naturally bitter cacao flavour. The outer skin may feel slightly papery; peel it away if you prefer, then enjoy the bean whole or roughly chopped as a crunchy topping.

How to take Cacao Beans?

Enjoy whole cacao beans as a crunchy snack, or peel and roughly chop them over yogurt, granola, porridge and desserts. You can also use them in baking or grind them with suitable equipment for other recipes. They are not an instant hot-chocolate mix.

Is cacao the same as chocolate?

Not exactly. Cacao refers to the pure, minimally processed form of the cacao bean, without added sugars or fats. Chocolate usually includes cacao along with sugar, milk, and other ingredients, making it less concentrated in nutrients.

What’s the difference between cacao beans, nibs, and powder?

Cacao beans are the whole seeds, which can be eaten as a snack or chopped for toppings. Cacao nibs are the crunchy pieces inside the bean, ready to sprinkle. Cacao powder is finely ground and is the more suitable choice for blending into drinks.
