Did you know that chocolate comes from a fruit? But the fruit tastes nothing like chocolate! Remarkable. Most people have never tried the fruit of the cocoa pod, but now is your chance. Normally the fruit is used to ferment the seeds (cocoa beans) but it can also be enjoyed on its own as well. In fact, removing some of the pulp or juice from cocoa beans before fermenting is often done to reduce acidity and improve flavour of the cocoa beans.
