Cacao nibs are shelled and roasted cacao beans and they have a crunchy texture with a chocolate flavour. They are basically raw chocolate, pieces of cacao beans that have been roasted, hulled, prepped to the point where all there is left to do is process them into bars. Cacao beans are brought in from variety of locations in the world to find highest quality beans. The beans then go through a cleaner, then a roaster where heated air gently toasts them at just the right temperature. The winnower machine crushes the beans a bit and removes their thin shells. The results are known as cacao nibs. These would eventually be turned into cocoa powder and chocolates.
