How to Enjoy Cacao Fruit

smoothie

Smoothies

Incorporate the flesh of the fresh cacao fruit into your smoothies for a nutritious boost. The sweet and slightly bitter taste of cacao adds a unique flavor profile that complements both fruit and green smoothies. Simply scoop out the flesh and blend it with your favorite smoothie ingredients.

cacao

Homemade Chocolate Making

Use the seeds from the cacao pod to make your own chocolate. First, the seeds need to be fermented and dried, a process that might take a few days. Once dried, they can be roasted, ground, and mixed with a sweetener and milk (or a milk alternative) to create homemade chocolate

cacao

Direct Consumption

The fresh cacao fruit can be enjoyed directly by simply opening the pod. To do this, cut through the thick skin of the cacao pod carefully, making sure not to cut too deep into the flesh. Once opened, you'll find the cacao seeds covered in a sweet, white flesh. This flesh can be eaten directly and is known for its refreshing and sweet taste.

tea

Cacao Tea

A lesser-known but delightful way to enjoy cacao is by making cacao tea from the pod's husk. After removing the seeds and flesh for other uses, the husk can be boiled in water to extract its subtle chocolate flavor. This makes for a warm, comforting beverage that’s both aromatic and beneficial.
