[acb-diabetics] Scharffenberger's Cacao Nibs

[Grant E. Metcalf]

While I was working as Executive Director of the East Bay Center for the 
Blind in Berkeley, CA, I discovered the Scharffen Berger chocolate factory. 
I learned later that they had their beginning research and evelopment right 
here in South San Francisco. They have since been taken over by another 
company, however, there is one thing more I discovered. Scharffenberger's 
Chocolate Nibs or Cacao Nibs. I scanned the following from the box. Note the 
website link at the bottom is in caps along with the phone number. The 
website lists a large number of retail national outlets including Whole 
Foods.

SCHARFFEN BERGER CACAO NIBS
cacao nibs are the key ingredient in our delicious Scharffen Berger* 
chocolate. Nibs are roasted cacao bean pieces that have a nutty flavor and 
crunchy texture. To produce our exceptional cacao nibs, we find the world's 
best cacao beans then roast them in small batches
on vintage European equipment.
SERVING  SUGGESTIONS
Some chocolate lovers have been known to
snack on nibs alone, but nibs are also a delicious
ingredient. Substitute nuts with cacao nibs in your favorite sweet or savory 
recipes, or try them as a quick flavorful addition to your
meals and desserts.
Sprinkle on ice cream, yogurt, or oatmeal. Bake into cookies, brownies, 
cakes, or any other recipe that calls for nuts or chocolate chips.
Grind and mix with spices for a grilled meat rub.
Infuse in coffee, cream, or even cocktails.
Toss in with a leafy green salad.
