From the processed cocoa bean comes the fluid paste, or liquor, from which cocoa powder and chocolate are made.Theobroma cacao grows pods on both its branches and trunk. Growers have to be very careful not to damage the cacao tree when harvesting them. Because it's such a delicate task, pods are picked by hand.Each bean is made of about 50% of a fat called cocoa butter. The beans are 20% protein and also contain water, as well as a large amount of nutrients such as theobromine and vitamins. The beans also contain starch and other minerals.Each pod contains 16 to 60 cocoa beans. You have to extract the fruitï it's contents to get at its beans, in a process known as de-seeding.When fresh, beans look like seeds covered in a white, sticky pulp called mucilage.

Cocoa beans, the seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree, are the primary ingredient in chocolate production. Grown mainly in tropical regions near the equator, including countries like Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Ecuador, cocoa trees flourish in warm, humid environments. The beans are harvested from cocoa pods, then fermented and dried to develop their characteristic flavor. Once dried, the beans are roasted, cracked, and winnowed to separate the nibs from the shells. These nibs are then ground to produce cocoa mass, which can be further processed into cocoa powder and cocoa butter. Rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and essential minerals, cocoa beans offer various health benefits, including improved heart health and mood enhancement. Sustainable farming practices and fair trade initiatives are increasingly important to address environmental impacts and ensure fair wages for cocoa farmers.
