Customer Reviews

A rare delight
True they are a bit bitter, but not TOO bitter and not nearly as bitter as unsweetened baker's chocolate! There are also some taste components I noticed that I've never noticed with processed chocolate, a delicate floral essence and flavor that adds character. I was also surprised to find that raw cacao smells and looks like cooked chocolate, I thought the smell and brown colour came mostly from the cooking process.

I want to try grinding them up and sweetening with agave nectar, a delicious sweetener with a low glycemic index. I tried sweetening a ground up mix with stevia, I think I might've used too much and I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS! Stevia is a good sweetener for a lot of foods, but using too much leaves a bitter aftertaste.

I'd recommend this product to anybody who likes chocolate, especially raw foodists and chocolate connoisseurs. Enjoy!

Great for baking
I'm very happy to have discovered these & will definitely continue to use them in baking, it helps me cut back on the semi-sweet choc morsels with a healthier alternative.

As far as eating them raw - I don't recommend it at all!!! Very bitter taste raw. Maybe some would enjoy it, but I would venture a guess that it's a minority of people rather than a majority.

Tasty, but not for everyone
I decided to try these to see if I would get the same boost as I get from chocolate, but with fewer calories. I have been eating them straight from the bag, and I enjoy them that way. The taste is bitter, but not terribly so, and they have a slightly fermented taste that I like. The texture is pleasantly crunchy, much like roasted almonds. I'm not sure I would call these a low-calorie snack: one ounce is 160 calories, 100 of which are from fat. However, I only eat about a tablespoon at a time, a few times a day, and that is a lot less than one ounce. As for the boost, well, I'm not sure. If there's an effect, it's subtle.
