Description

The cacao tree requires protection from wind and needs a lot of shade with plentiful water supply. It bears a fruit that are called pods and are differing hues of yellow and orange when ripe. Because the tree is of shallow root structure, it is not sturdy enough for climbing and so many of these pods are picked by using long poles with knives on the end. A typical pod releases 20-50 beans. These beans possess a type of slimy covering which is left covered to ferment for a few days. The fermentation allows some of the bitterness to be removed from the inner bean.  Once fermented, the beans are dried and then chipped into nibs.
