Cocoa is a vine while cacao is a tree

So is bad for you to eat a couple of the beans after roasting a day? I roasted mine peeled and ground them in a coffee grinder then put a couple pinches in my coffee in the morning and of course a lot of it remains on the bottom of the cup when I’m done but love the feeling. So am I doing to much in that one cup?

Thanks for this Video. Who says that you can’t war unfermented Cacao? We eat them directly out of the pod every time. It’s the best you can have!

COCOA is just a centuries old misspelling in English that persisted because people found it easier to pronounce. In all other languages only CACAO is used, for every stage of the product.

You can grind dried raw cacao beans and enjoy them. i recommend to soak and rinse the beans overnight to remove the high content of phytic acid which otherwise would block the absorption of the nutrients.

The video is unnecesarily long to simply say cacao is the raw bean, cocoa is the processed cacao. Then it becomes quite confusing and contradicting by saying they are the same by name origin, but then shows one is raw the other is roasted etc.

Very informative and answered all my questions. Thumbs up*

At the end of the video did they mean cacao is addictive? like drugs?

Wow. We have lots of cacao tree, but and we make powder from cacao. Very refreshing drink.

cacao being unfermented is very healthy ... fermenting inverts the energy making cocoa very unhealthy

😃😷

What is healthyer for you cacao nibs or cacao husk in a tea

I just discovered and bought my first cacao. It is a solid block and its label says - 100 percent pure ceremonial grade fine ground cacao. Is this product the same as cacao nibs or cacao paste? As far as getting this cacao into my diet - to me it tastes good enough to just eat and follow with a little water.

Awesome video. Extremely thorough. I do enjoy the flavor of cocoa powder in my coffee but I would like to try cacao fruit.
