Which fruit is this? | Quizzland Trivia Answers

Mattylittles

Cacao originates from central Mexico and there are actually 4 types. Criollo which means of the original central mexican species. Forastero which means outside or external species. Trinitario is a blend of the two species that has been developed over time for export and growth in Africa and many South Pacific islands. The fourth type is called Nacionale and was thought extinct for about a thousand years before a small amount was rediscovered in wild jungles a few years ago.

It's pretty amazing that anyone could have found that and somehow it was transformed into a Reese's peanut butter cup!

So does chocolate count as one of my '5 a day' fruit and vegetables that we are encouraged to eat?

The fruit is called cacao, not cocoa.

I had no idea that there was a fermentation process involved in the production of cocoa beans, you learn something new everyday.

KindKitten89, if you remove the husk of the beans you have cocoa nibs so good for you When I lived in Costa Rica we used to buy bags of cocoa beans and eat the nibs and bake with the powder. Very bitter but very good for you.

I am surprised that Africa especially West Africa is not mentioned has a cocoa producing region because I believe Ghana and Ivory Coast are very big cocoa producing countries in the world.

I never knew that they grew on such a small plant, or that there were three varieties.

Player #3906185, read food labels. recently candy companies started using substitute ingredients for white chocolate. These products contain no cocoa butter what do ever. They do not taste delicious either.
