Description

Cocoa seeds are the seeds from the cacao tree, which is native to South America. These seeds are the main ingredient used to make chocolate products. The seeds are harvested from the cacao pods, which are large fruit pods that grow on the trunk of the cacao tree. Once the seeds are extracted from the pods, they are fermented, dried, roasted, and then ground into cocoa powder or processed into cocoa butter. These cocoa products are used in a variety of culinary applications, including baking, confectionery, and beverages.
