Origin stories

Cacao nibs are derived from cacao beans, which have a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations in Mesoamerica. The Mayans and Aztecs were known to have valued cacao beans highly and used them to make a variety of beverages and foods. These beans were considered sacred and even used as currency in some regions. The cacao beans were ground into a paste, which was then used to make a bitter and frothy drink. Over time, the processing techniques evolved, and cacao beans eventually became the basis for chocolate as we know it today.
