My host grand-mere in Lable gave me a cocoa "fruit" (half of it is in my left hand) and taught me some stuff about it. So the inside of the "fruit" is jam-packed with those white beans in my right hand, which can be sucked on for a sweet and tangy flavor. After than the white part is peeled off and those brown/black beans in my right hands are dried out and later crushed to make what we know as chocolate/cocoa in the raw. I took that hadfull of beans in the picture with the intent of drying them out, but due to the rain and my forgetfullness they've basically made themselves at home in my purse and will likely never evolve into their universally-loved chocolate form. Also, check out the right-hand corner of the picture, that's my peace corps issued machete! |
