The Parts of a Cacao Bean by Cam of Dandelion Chocolate

I met up with Cam and Alice of Dandelion Chocolate while they were visiting  Chocolopolis in Seattle.  

In this video Cam breaks apart a cacao bean showing us the different parts that would have made the root or leaves of a new cacao tree if it had grown.

The science behind chocolate is so interesting!
