To fell the fullest flavour of cacao beans, put one in your mouth and hold it for a while, without chewing it. Once wetted from saliva, chew it slowly and feel the unique aroma and taste.

Still, cacao beans are rich in fibers, proteins, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. If you eat regularly cacao beans you will fell more fresh and energized.
If you want to prepare deserts that are at the same time sweet, delicious and dietetic, try to crush the cacao beans and then add them to the sweets.
