Bery Jones Roasted Cocoa Beans - Pieces, 500g

Cocoa beans come from the tropical region of South America, where they were probably grown as early as the 5th century AD. The Aztecs used them as currency and their Latin name Theobroma cacao means “food of the gods“. They are harvested twice a year and, after harvesting, are cracked by hand and subsequently fermented. By fermentation, their biological changes take place, the bitter taste is reduced and a reddish-brown colour is formed. Then the beans are dried and roasted and slowly acquire a chocolate colour and aroma. Even in a modern kitchen, they are a popular ingredient and it' s no wonder. They belong to superfoods and are literally loaded with healthy substances.
