Cocoa nibs are the edible part of the cocoa bean. During the manufacture of chocolate, they are ground into a paste which is then separated into cocoa powder and cocoa butter. The nibs are little pieces, having a texture similar to nuts and a bitter chocolate flavour.

I've seen them at Stubbe on the market.

Pretty much every health store has them, plain or lightly sweetened. They're in bags in the section with goji berries and seaweed snacks. Herb and Spice on bank even has them in the bulk section.

They are AMAZING on vanilla ice cream:)

I have bought them at Grace in the Kitchen on Bank St. - I don't know if the new location carries them.

Is there anywhere else to get cocoa nibs?

Thanks in advance.

A friend introduced us to cocoa nibs. These days the experts are touting health benefits of chocolate, and cocoa nibs are the most pure way to ingest this fine food.

The flavour is interesting but fairly bitter. They are awesome sprinkled on ice cream. They'd be good in a trail mix or eaten with raisins (since they have no sweetness of their own).
