cocoa nibs consist of raw crushed cocoa beans and have a sour-sweet taste. They are a healthy and tasty alternative to chocolate and can be used for example for recipes or as an ingredient in muesli or yoghurt. Raw cocoa contains a lot of magnesium, calcium and ensures the production of endorphins. It increases the level of serotonin in the brain and stimulates the release of endorphins. In conventional chocolate products healthy cocoa bean no longer possesses the nutritional content of a fresh and raw cocoa beans, as they are roasted at high temperatures. The raw cocoa beans in the processed product, the more nutrients it contains.
Was ist Kokosblütenzucker?
Kokosblüttenzucker is obtained from the nectar of the coconut flower and heated moderately, so that a syrup and then ensteht a crystalline consistency resulted. Coconut blossom sugar has a low glycemic index and is therefore also suitable for diabetics. He, incidentally, does not taste slightly of coconut, but similar as brown sugar caramel. One can wonderfully use it to sweeten coffee, tea or cocoa, or as in this recipe for baking or cooking.
