nib

During production, cacao beans are separated into meaty solids, known as nibs, and a fatty portion called cocoa butter.

The cherry nib recipe is my current favorite — we subbed out nuts for cacao nibs, which give it an addictive texture.

The enormous patina-green fountain pen juts over the sidewalk on F Street, two blocks from the White House, its gold nib pointing down at the front doors like a command.

Baynton created a new pen nib specifically for the inked outlines, and the team used real animals as reference for their movements.

This process, imported from the chocolate-obsessed Netherlands, ground the cacao nibs into finer, less noticeable pieces and better separated the cocoa butter, resulting in a more palatable "eating chocolate."
