Personally, I avoid chocolate in all its forms, because of the oxalic acid content. When I first went keto, I would take unsweetened chocolate and make a kind of fudge with heavy cream and artificial sweetener, then I got so I enjoyed the blocks plain, without sweetener, and now I just don’t bother. I find that the less I burden my system with oxalates, the better I feel.

However, if you want such a product in your diet, there’s no reason not to have it. Just be careful to count the carbohydrate in against your intake limit. Cacao nibs are roughly half carbohydrate by weight, so if you eat a lot of them, the carbohydrate will quickly add up.
