Cocoa Beans
Kategori: Coffee
Cocoa beans are the raw seeds of the cacao tree, known for their rich and intense flavor. Grown primarily in tropical regions, including Indonesia, these beans are the foundation of fine chocolate production. The beans are harvested from cacao pods, fermented, dried, and roasted to develop their deep, complex flavor profiles.
High-quality cocoa beans have a slightly bitter taste with earthy and nutty notes, which transform into the smooth, rich chocolate flavor once processed into various chocolate products. Cocoa beans are rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which are known for their health benefits, including promoting heart health and improving mood.
