🌳 Cacao Tree Seeds – Theobroma cacao

💰 Price: Package of 2 seeds

The cacao tree, also called Theobroma cacao or cocoa tree, is a small evergreen native to the deep tropical regions of the Americas, growing 4–8 m (13–26 ft) tall. Its seeds, commonly called cacao beans, are the essential ingredient for chocolate and cocoa products, while the surrounding pulp can be used to prepare refreshing beverages.

🍂 Botanical Description:

🍃 Leaves: Alternate, entire, unlobed, 10–40 cm long, 5–20 cm broad
🌸 Flowers: Small (1–2 cm), pink calyx, clustered directly on trunk/older branches (cauliflory)
🍫 Fruit: Ovoid cacao pod, 15–30 cm long, 8–10 cm wide, ripening yellow-orange, 500 g (1.1 lb)
🌱 Seeds: 20–60 per pod, high in fat (40–50%) as cocoa butter; contain theobromine, a mild stimulant

Pollination occurs via tiny flies (Forcipomyia midges). The seeds are prized for chocolate production, while the pulp can be fermented into mild alcoholic beverages or fresh juice.

🌎 Origin & History:

Origin: Southeastern Mexico to the Amazon Basin
Ancient cultivation in Mesoamerica: Evidence from Olmec and Mokaya sites (1900–900 BC)
Used in ceremonial, medicinal, and culinary contexts; sometimes combined with maize, chili, vanilla, and honey

The name Theobroma means “food of the gods” in Greek, reflecting cacao’s cultural significance.
