From Martha Stewert to Scharffen Berger to the Food Network, it appears that cooking with cocoa nibs is “in”!

And why not?  Besides the great flavor and a nice crunch, nibs have nutritional benefits as well.  Cacao contains antioxidants that are known to reduce blood clotting, improve circulation, and help regulate blood pressure. Antioxidants also protect us from environmental pollutants and help repair damage caused by free radicals.

Cocoa or Cacao Nibs are roasted cocoa beans that have been separated from their shells/husks.  You can buy them in health food stores, or online.

Scharffen Berger is a chocolate company that sells nibs online.  They also have a great collection of recipes, and some of them are listed under the Savory category.  One unique recipe is the nib rub for steak on the grill.

Rather than repeating the recipe here, just follow the link below.  Then be sure to browse the home baking section of their online store and pick up the nibs too.
