Yupik Organic Raw Cacao Beans, 2.2 lb (35.2 oz), Vegan, GMO-Free, Kosher, Gluten-Free, Dried Beans, Fermented, Unroasted, No Sugar Added, Source of Fiber & Iron, Ideal for Baking & Chocolate Making

. . . preserves the odor and the pleasantly piquant taste and keeping qualities of cacao beans that have been fermented to just the right extent. This grinds to powder in your bladed coffee grinder or a blender easily and that homemade powder tastes vastly fresher and better than store bought powder. Homemade cacao powder mixed with peanut or any nut butter and natural sweetener, like green stevia, makes a fantastic substitute for junk spreads such as Nutella.

Tasty beans not bitter. I eat them for nutritional snack. Will buy more soon. I’m eating a couple of handfuls per day.

I like it too much

I really like this beans. The beans were of really high quality. I have to say that I bought them with the intention of eating it plain like I read some people wrote on their reviews do. But oh my gosh! Eating them plain is a torture! They taste awful! Só now I add them to my oats pancakes and to my protein shake. I ordered another bag today and I was shocked on how much they are costing now! I bought them last December and I paid less than $20, today they are costing $36,99! I would like to know what caused such an increase on the price!

I used to push the "buy again" every few weeks because of a decent price, but I guess I got to quit )) good luck guys from now on ...sometimes they stink of mold anyway, I wouldn't care but at this price you guys need to know

Great! I purchased this item from a recommendation. I bought the exact product that she recommended from you.🤩

THE COCOA BEANS ARE NOT RAW; THEY ARE ROASTED! Multiple times I have made my own chocolate from cocoa pods into chocolate, fermenting, roasting, and grinding them myself. These beans are not raw, they are already roasted and, contrary to the yeasty smell the fermented beans smell like, these smell like vinegar which, has effected some of the beans I tasted. Raw beans/seeds, even after fermentation, are soft, a light brownish or tanish color and not dry. They are also not easy to peel. Again, these beans are roasted and if you roast them yourselves, you will end up with a burnt tasting chocolates. Especially if you have a small business and want to try these out for your chocolates, don’t. The quality of these are terrible. Photos: the image displaying a large amount of beans on a tray are this product right out of the bag. I have also shared what beans should look like when I do the process from cocoa pod to roasting on my own. First photo is this product. Third is 7 day fermented beans, those beans post roast (a little too crisp…lost track of time) and then shelled roasted beans from pervious three pictures. The difference is shocking.
