Cacao seeds

These seeds and the surrounding jelly like stuff (called placenta in the chocolate trade) are edible but this is not the chocolate we are familiar with.
Several steps take place before we get the stuff dreams are made of.
The seeds and their pulpy mass undergo several steps including fermentation and roasting before chocolate emerges.
