Cacao Nibs – Peru

Cacao Nibs – Peru

The consumption of cacao is an ancient practice that dates back to 5500 – 1700 BCE in the highlands of Ecuador. Making cacao is a highly meditative process and connects you on a deeply spiritual level to your heart space.

The cacao paste process involves many different layers of processes, each adding to the unique flavour notes and energetics of the paste you choose. From picking the pods, to fermenting and roasting the beans, each cacao bean supplier has their secret recipe for success.

Eating Cacao Nibs will help:

• Nourish the mind, body and soul
• Add Antioxidants, minerals and vitamins to your diet
• Provide you with healthy fats, fiber and protein
• Elevate your mood
• Give you a sense of bliss
• Help you process trauma and release it from your body

There are many more benefits of eating cacao nibs but the one I find most beneficial is making time for this process, creating a ritual that you dedicate to each day. Its transformational.
