† Clise † Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I traveled to South America and the Caribbean recently and I borrowed a few dozen Coco plant pods. I wanted to share with you guys how it looks, especially our Northern friends may have never seen inside a Coco before. So Here you go :P . You "Crack" a Coco open by hitting it on the side, Then you suck on those seeds inside and it taste sweet. If you let the Coco Pod (entire thing) to decay it will smell of rich dark chocolate #InterestingFacts This type of Red Coco has more of a Sour taste because it creates a lower grade of chocolate. Its cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiesola Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 That's pretty interesting. Is there flesh around the seeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Clise † Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 That's pretty interesting. Is there flesh around the seeds? Yea the actual Coco is in a hard membrane with the edible flesh around it. The stem holding the seed around it is also edible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
