What Are Cacao Nibs?

If you want the pure, intense flavor of chocolate before any sugar is added, cacao nibs are where it starts. Gerbs Roasted Cacao Nibs are simply cacao beans, roasted and crushed into crunchy little pieces, with absolutely nothing added. They are guaranteed free of the 14 major allergens and processed on dedicated equipment that has never touched dairy, soy, peanuts, or tree nuts, so allergen-conscious cooks and snackers get deep, bittersweet cacao intensity without any cross-contact worry.

Sourced from Peru and roasted to bring out their rich, complex flavor, these nibs deliver the bold, slightly bitter taste of real chocolate with zero sugar. Gerbs roasts and packages its cacao nibs in small batches in our family owned and operated facility in Johnston, Rhode Island, with no co-packers and no shared lines. Sprinkle them over smoothie bowls and oatmeal, stir them into trail mix, or fold them into cookie and brownie batter when you want crunch and pure cacao flavor, all backed by the Gerbs Guarantee.

Cacao nibs are roasted cacao beans that have been separated from their husks and crushed into small, crunchy pieces. They are essentially chocolate in its most basic form, before any sugar, milk, or cocoa butter is added, which is why they taste intensely bittersweet rather than sweet. Gerbs nibs are roasted, which mellows the raw bean’s sharpness and deepens its chocolate flavor. With no sugar and nothing added, they are a naturally vegan way to add real cacao flavor and a firm, satisfying crunch to both sweet and savory dishes.

Flavor & Texture

Roasted cacao nibs taste like unsweetened chocolate: deep, bold, and intensely bittersweet, with the roasted, slightly nutty notes that roasting brings out. There is no sweetness at all, so the pure cacao flavor comes through. The texture is firm and crunchy, similar to a coarse chocolate version of a chopped nut, giving a satisfying snap that holds up in baking and on top of soft foods like yogurt and oatmeal.

Ingredients

Organic Roasted Cacao Nibs.

How to Use Cacao Nibs

Cacao nibs add chocolate flavor and crunch to almost anything, sweet or savory.

  • Sprinkle over smoothie bowls, yogurt, oatmeal, or chia pudding for crunch and bold cacao flavor.
  • Stir into trail mix and granola, or eat by the handful for an unsweetened chocolate snack.
  • Fold into cookie, brownie, or muffin batter in place of, or alongside, chocolate chips.
  • Blend a tablespoon into smoothies, or use as a garnish on desserts and coffee drinks.
  • Add to savory rubs and mole-style sauces for deep, earthy chocolate notes.

Storage Recommendations

Store Gerbs cacao nibs in an airtight container in a cool, dark pantry away from heat and direct sunlight, and reseal the bag between uses. Stored this way they keep their crunch and flavor for up to two years. For best results in warm or humid kitchens, the bag can be refrigerated after opening. Their low moisture content makes nibs very shelf-stable.

FAQ

Are Gerbs cacao nibs raw or roasted?

They are roasted. Roasting mellows the sharp, astringent edge of raw cacao and brings out a deeper, rounder chocolate flavor. Nothing is added during roasting, so they remain pure cacao with no sugar.

Do cacao nibs taste like chocolate?

They taste like pure, unsweetened chocolate, because that is essentially what they are. The flavor is intense and bittersweet with no added sugar, so they are bolder and far less sweet than chocolate chips. Pair them with sweeter ingredients if you want a more dessert-like result.

Are Gerbs cacao nibs vegan and allergen-free?

Yes. They are 100% cacao with nothing added, so they are naturally vegan. They are produced on dedicated equipment in our Johnston, Rhode Island facility that is free of dairy, soy, and the other major allergens, with no shared lines and no co-packers.

What is the difference between cacao nibs and cocoa powder?

Both come from cacao beans, but nibs are crushed pieces of the whole roasted bean, so they are crunchy and contain the bean’s natural cocoa butter. Cocoa powder is made by removing most of that fat and grinding what remains into a fine powder. Use nibs for crunch and texture, and cocoa powder for smooth chocolate flavor in batters and drinks.

How should I store cacao nibs?

Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dark pantry away from heat and sunlight, and reseal the bag between uses. Stored this way they stay fresh for up to two years. In a warm or humid kitchen, you can refrigerate them after opening.

    I have not been able to buy many products because my little one is allergic to peanuts. It is difficult to find many products locally or even online that has not been exposed or potentially been exposed to peanuts. I enjoyed eating these nibs in everything I can think of without worrying about giving my little one a taste when she asks. Thank you
