Navitas Naturals Raw Cocoa Nibs
Why this product rocks
Chocolate is hot these days. Not just because it rocks the taste buds but also there are plenty of good-for-the-body benefits.
Recent to the market, cocoa nibs are basically smashed up roasted cocao beans. This means that they are the purest form of chocolate you can toss down the gullet.
These diminutive chocolate goodies have big-time crunch and an intense, somewhat bitter flavor. Try them on cereal, yogurt, ice-cream or mixed into trail mix and baked goods.
Navitas is a forward-thinking company offering up organic, environmentally and socially-responsible unique, and you could say a bit odd-ball, food items from around the world. Camu powder anyone?
Body benefits
Cocoa nibs are loaded with polyphenol antioxidants that are exceptionally affable to your heart and may even boost brain functioning.
Magnesium is also plentiful. A mineral that is needed for hundreds of chemical reactions in the body including improving blood sugar control.
An ounce dishes up a whopping 9 grams of dietary fiber. By all accounts more of us are coming up short in the roughage department.
Although there is a high amount of saturated fat, the much maligned fat found in cocoa is mostly stearic acid which is considered to be a “neutral” saturated fat with little impact on blood cholesterol.
