We collected yesterday more than 30 fruits of cacao and should need some advice how to handle with them.
Last time we tried to dry those seeds in the sun but it takes a lot of time and finally almost dried came some sudden shower and moistured them.
Is there any use of that white stuff around seeds looking like butter ?

you can suck on it, tastes good.
Otherwise sun dry with a cover handy. Did you think it was easy?

Yes HB,
you are right, the people in the first world do not realize how much work demand products like coffee and cacao compared the price they pay.

Mmmm yes suck on them!! They are my favorites now if I could figure out how to grow them in my own garden. Any idea how to plant them?
