wow. cacao!


walking down to the lodge to use the internet i stumbled upon yet another little salvadoran gem.

the cacao bean.

ladies who work at the restaurant were cracking open the outer shell of the dried cacao bean.

of course i asked if i could give it a try. it was pretty easy to crack off the shell.

inside was the pure yummy goodness. bitter & sweet.

texture was close to that of a roasted coffee bean

these lil gems (cacao nibs) are later used to make the restaurant's famous hot coco






Current Status: craving some more nibs.
