Raw Cocoa beans

I bought a bag of these home from holidays a while back. They were addictive, and apparently very good for you (those some disagree).
Anybody know where I can buy such a thing in Cork?

You could call The Chocolate Shop in the English Market. They might have them, or might order them in for you.

You could do the same with O'Conaill's.

Other than that I'd try the health food shops, as it's got a niche in that area. Are you a raw-foodist, out of interest?

Thanks, I'll give them a try. I'm not a raw-foodist at all, just picked a bag of cocoa beans up on hols last year and grew fond of them!

Hi,

I get 250g bag of Infinity raw cacao nibs from Nourish in Wicklow Street for about 6euro. I think this might be what you are looking for! I have only ever seen the full cocoa beans covered in chocolate.

I found Cacao nibs in the health food shop upstairs in the Paul St. shopping centre.

I think these are raw and unprocessed, basically crushed cocoa beans? Anyway at €7.20 for 150g I thought they were a bit too pricey, I will try the chocolate shops and see what they might have.
