This is a (pronouced) "Kakaow" tree (cacao tree).
The seed of the yellow fruit is harvested, dried, and fermented, rolled up in to semi-soft balls and either sold as is (cacao), or have milk added to make milk chocolate, or is semi-sweetened, etc.
Carli bought some semi-soft ones and we have been having a hay-day grating it onto fruit salads, into coffee for mochas, and pretty much eating it straight up.
Who knew!?!

Was that a bite off that last big ball of chocolate?? It looks so delicious! Do you think we could grow some of that here? Maybe plant a chocolate bar or two, of course, I would remove the wrapper, I'm not that naive...
on another note... I've been monitoring Tom's beard growing progress... word of advice to Candice... hurry home.
Yes, hurry home! This thing's getting itchy!
I"m on my way!
