Cacao fruit, also known as the cacao pod, is nothing like what most people expect. It is far better. Few realize that cacao’s scientific name literally translates to “Food of the Gods.” First cultivated over 3,500 years ago by the Olmecs of what is now Mexico, cacao was revered long before it became chocolate. If they had known just how powerful it would become, perhaps we would all be speaking Olmec today. Instead, cacao traveled the world, and now places like Brussels Airport alone sell over 800 tons of chocolate each year.
The naming can be confusing we hear cacao, cocoa, cacao fruit all the time but in the end, it all comes down to the cacao bean living inside the pod.
What most people don’t expect is the taste. It couldn’t be more different from the chocolate we’ve been taught to gift and indulge in. Inside the pod is a soft white flesh with a bright, zingy sweetness that’s tart, fruity, and refreshing, carrying notes of citrus, mango, and pineapple. The seeds within are what eventually become chocolate and biting into them reveals the raw, unprocessed essence of pure cacao.
This box contains 4 cacao pods, containing up to 3-5 pounds of cacao. Don’t wait. Experience cacao in its original form and order your box today.
