The fruit of the cocoa tree is a pod full of sweet pulp enfolding a cluster of about 20-40 cacao seeds. It is native to the Amazon region and as the meaning suggests, it was historically considered a very important crop in Central and South America. In fact, its seeds were so prized that the native tribes used them as a form of currency.
