Important Considerations for Cocoa Nibs:
- Cocoa nibs are small, irregular pieces of fermented, dried, roasted, and crushed cacao beans. Their weight per volume can vary. A common average is around **110-120 grams per US cup** (approximately 3.9-4.25 ounces).
- They have an intense, bitter chocolate flavor and a crunchy texture.
- Cocoa nibs are often used as a topping, in trail mixes, or incorporated into baked goods and desserts for texture and flavor.
- For recipes where the amount is critical, measuring by weight with a kitchen scale provides the best consistency.
