What is the cocoa fruit?

The cocoa fruit is an oval, brightly colored pod that grows directly on the trunk of the cocoa tree. Inside are approximately 30–40 cocoa beans surrounded by juicy pulp. While the beans are used to make cocoa and chocolate, the pulp is a tropical delicacy in its own right. Now available at Obstwelt – fresh, exotic, and 100% natural!
