cacao nibs
Crushed chocolate seeds
Cacao nibs are crushed pieces of roasted cacao beans—chocolate in its most elemental form before sugar or milk is added.
They have an intense, bitter flavor and crunchy texture, used in baking, smoothies, or eaten as a snack by those who appreciate unsweetened chocolate: I sprinkled cacao nibs on my yogurt.
