Tweet

We all eat chocolate but does everyone know where it came from? Cacao tree also known as the "Food of God" personally living in a tropical country i feel lucky and bless to be able to grow this precious tree. I got 10 trees and thinking of adding some more. Good characteristics of cacao tree, after planting you can expect a harvest in two year time which is good cause some fruit bearing trees you need to wait for atleast 5 years and more. Cacao will never stop flowering all year round i can see it bears flower and bees love them so much thats why you can also expect a high yield. If you had a cacao tree you can be sure that your growing your food organically, no synthetic fertilizer and spray. As the start of 2019 i gathered around 50 pods in 5 trees and get atleast 3 kilos of seeds, i dry it under the sun for seven days and now is ready to be roast and peel but in my personal opinion i like to ferment my beans for seven more days before i turn it into nibs. In roasting the cacao beans you can smell an aroma that is better than coffee beans, it is sweet yet no words can describe how the cacao beans aroma is. Peeling them was easy too and it is also fun to do with your kids and loveone.
