Once you taste the rich nutty flavor of these cacao nibs you'll never go back to what you can buy at the store. Most nibs available in stores usually use bitter and flavorless commodity raw cacao - our nibs have amazing sourcing (read next paragraph) and are lightly toasted and shelled in micro batches for optimum freshness. Cacao nibs can be added to smoothies, trail mixes, or just eaten straight. They give an energy boost and are an excellent source of magnesium, manganese, iron, and copper.

These transparent trade superfood cacao nibs are grown by the 300+ farmers of the Maya Mountain Cacao Cooperative. The organic heirloom cacao is shade grown in permaculture micro-plots with diverse ecology, tended by Mopan and Q’eqchi' Maya indigenous communities. 

ORGANIC - VEGAN - PALEO - KETO APPROVED - SUGAR FREE - GMO FREE - SOY FREE - GLUTEN FREE

Ingredients: Organic Cacao Nibs.

Disclaimer ... it is very hard to make any form of drinking chocolate from these without professional equipment because they will not melt with heat. If you are interested in drinking chocolate, best to buy our ceremonial cacao. Or if you'd like to use traditional methods, there is a hand tool used in Central America called a metate, if you are lucky you can find one on eBay :-)

WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS

It's as if the ho-hum bag of cacao powder in your pantry metamorphosed into the highest quality, most decadent, rich, ethically sourced cacao powder imaginable.

INGREDIENTS + NUTRITION FACTS

CACAO SOURCING STANDARD

This organic cacao powder is direct trade and traceable to 200 individual farmers from a regenerative agroforestry project outside of Cusco, Peru.

Many of the farms and the association are run by indigenous Koribeni and Kiteni women, who put their love and care into the stewardship of this cacao and the Amazon it calls home.

HOW TO USE

Add this fluffy cacao powder in heaps into your smoothies, use for baking in your favorite recipes, heat on the stovetop with non-dairy milk for hot cocoa, etc.

Enjoy your upgraded cacao powder adventures!

WHY THIS IS NOT CEREMONIAL CACAO

To be clear, cacao powder is not ceremonial grade cacao, even though this has excellent sourcing. The key difference is ceremonial grade cacao is a whole food, without anything added or removed, and minimally processed the whole way through with the intention of being shared as a medicine. 

Cacao powder by contrast goes through processing to separate the cacao powder and butter. This cacao powder retains far more natural fat than most cacao powders, with 28-30% fat remaining as opposed to 10-12%. It’s basically the most fat you can keep in the cacao and have it be a powder, which makes a major upgrade for delicious baking, smoothies, etc.

CERTIFICATIONS + LAB TEST RESULTS

1. Organic & Regenerative - all of our cacao is certified organic by Organic Certifiers. We only source from farms practicing regenerative agroforestry.

2. Heavy Metals - we lab test all of our cacao, there is no lead and the minute cadmium levels are well below MADL thresholds.

    I haven’t received this product yet so I can’t review it. So far I’m not happy because it is taking so long and I haven’t gotten and information as to why it hasn’t been delivered or where it is located.

    Better than the top brands at Sprouts

    I'm a Sprouts shopper (sort of like a Whole Foods) and usually get Navitas cacao nibs. Firefly's are much more flavorful and slightly softer, which is great for me because I like to put them over skyr.

    Really feel the difference

    A friend recommended I try Firefly chocolate because he said ceremonial cacao really makes a difference. I was skeptical at first, but I really like the personal blessing offered and I do feel more positive and motivated throughout my day. One minor critique I have is that there are sometimes fairly hard shell-like pieces that I'm concerned about. So I am careful to eat them slowly..Maybe some further sifting would reduce these hard bits? Anyways, thank you for this love-filled and powerful cacao :)
