Raw cacao nibs are carefully broken-down chunks of cacao bean, one of nature’s finest sources of anti-oxidants, naturally rich in many minerals, particularly iron and zinc. Cacao is well known for its positive affect on the brain, containing precursors to special neurotransmitters which help to increase circulation and availability of ‘mood chemicals’ such as serotonin, thus improving mood. Properties within cacao are also known to stimulate the central nervous system, relax smooth muscles, and dilate blood vessels, giving the body a boost of energy.
