Recently I have been trying to add variety to my strictly 100% raw life ( I have been living solely on fruits, vegetables, walnuts/sunflower/sesame seeds for half a year). I have read quite a few articles about the nutritional benefits of raw cacao beans, so I ordered Navitas Naturals Raw Cacao Nibs from Amazon. It costs 25$ for 2*16 oz, which is the best price I have found on the internet. I received it yesterday and tasted several nibs, which are pretty nice, though bitter. Now I have some questions: 1, Does anyone know a better price and better place to get it? Is the one I got a trusted raw brand? 2, Is it a good idea to add cacao beans to my diet? I mean, do they just talk about the good things about it but leave out the bad things for the sake of advertising.
Thanks

I know of a store in San Francisco that sells them if that helps, but I don’t know if they ship from the store. You could also try Whole Foods if there is one near you.
Navitas brand is the cheapest I’ve seen, all the other brands I’ve seen around my area have been almost twice as much. I like to spread a thin layer of honey on a big spoon, and coat it with cacao nibs, it’s soo good for a chocolate fix!
