cocoa beans
Tropical pod seeds
Cocoa beans are the seeds of the cacao tree, fermented, dried, and roasted to produce chocolate and cocoa powder.
The beans grow inside large pods on trees native to Central and South America.
Despite the name, they're seeds rather than true beans: The factory sources cocoa beans from West Africa.
