Feeling a little under the weather? Or want to avoid getting sick this winter? Carry some of these Super Boosters chocolate covered cacao nibs from St. Lucia with you for a boost and a pick me up of theobromine and antioxidants.
It's a well known fact that cacao is a super food and carries more antioxidants than red wine and green tea. Eating dark chocolate with lower amounts of sugars and cacao butters and higher percentages of cacao solids is good for you.
Here is a good how to with dark chocolate for health by Web MD. Health By Chocolate. I would skip their recommendations at the end though. Skip the more commercialized brands and go for the quality and ethics of small-batch or bean-to-bar chocolate.
These are tasty 70% dark chocolate covered Trinitario nibs that taste a little sweet at first, and carry some cinnamon notes and then deep rich cacao flavors of the raw nibs which are bitter and nutty that gives you a good balance of flavors.
The only negative to eating cacao nibs is that they're gritty and will leave a mess in your teeth. So rinse before you talk to people or it could look like you've been eating coffee grinds. And be mindful of the theobromine which is a stimulant like caffeine. Depending on how much you eat it can jack you up a bit if you are not ready for it. If you are a seasoned pro with chocolate or coffee, have at it.
This is the way to fight cold and flu season!
