Cocoa Pod

Cocoa Pod
On June 13th we visited a Sugar Cane and Cocoa plantation near Miallo. I posted a photo of the Cocoa flowers a couple of days ago (see inset photo). This is a Cocoa pod which will be ready for harvesting when it it turns color. After harvesting, the seeds, which are embedded in a white pulp, are removed and they are the source of that wonderful stuff we know as Cocoa. Interestingly, the scientific name, Theobroma, means "food of the gods".

An excellent capture Ron. I can well believe that chocolate is the food of the gods! You have given me the munchies now! Love the flowers in the inset shot.
