In case you ever wondered, the seeds of this fruit are ground up and processed in various ways until they become cocoa powder and cocoa butter. Mixed in various proportions with each other, sugar, and perhaps milk, they become chocolate. One interesting factoid about chocolate is that it is almost never consumed in the countries where it is grown, because the equatorial countries where cacao thrives are as a rule far too poor to afford such luxuries as chocolate. Same with coffee. Guatemalans, for instance, mentioned to us that they drink instant, because all the beans get exported. Poor, poor Guatemalans. No one should have to endure instant coffee.
