Try Bru, 100% brewable cacao. You can get the benefits of organic (and Fair Trade) cacao in a drinkable form without worrying about the digestion issues of nibs. Plus, it’s additive free! It’s entirely up to you if you want to add sweeteners, creamers, etc.

please be very careful when trying cacao nibs. i tried some for the first time a few weeks ago, only ate one ounce, and had seizures from it!

I currently add 1 heaping tablespoon of raw, organic cacoa nibs to my 3 main meals. When it eventually exits my system, I can see a large portion is undigested. I use papaya enzymes, still not digesting enough. Will switching to powder solve this problem?

Wow!
Thanks Teya, this is all very interesting. I have barely touched chocolate in 20 years but I would love to try some organic sugar free dark chocolate now that I know about cacao.
Thanks again!
