20+ years ago, I had a raw foodie friend who introduced me to raw cacao nibs. She put a spoonful in my hand and said try these… I spit them out. Yuck. A few years later, when chronic ill health caused me to rethink everything food, I tried them again, this time adding a tablespoon of raw nibs to fresh blueberries and a 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese. Oh wow. As good as ice cream! I now add them to cottage cheese, Icelandic yogurt with strawberries or blueberries, green avocado smoothies (add a little liquid Stevia and it tastes like chocolate milkshake), and of course, vanilla or coffee ice cream.
