| The cacao tree produces a fruit from which cocoa is derived. Following harvest the fruit is fermented to give the cocoa seed, or bean, its distinctive flavor. Cocoa, containing approximately 20 percent protein, 40 percent carbohydrate, and 40 percent fat, is high in nutritive value. Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, and Brazil are leaders in cocoa production. | ||||||
