I read that cacao seeds are excluded, but what about the cacao fruit ?

Re: Cacao fruit
Yeah, sure. Nice to see an actual cacao fruit.
Re: Cacao fruit
The fruit is the pod that contains the seeds / beans and white pulp.
I could not find any info about it in Souci's Nutrition Tabels, USDA database nor PubMed.
Only something about "interesting chemical composition" and "yielded an aromatic pleasant drink"
Which seems to be a wine.
So, I have no idea whether its safe, or not.

Re: Cacao fruit
Well I saw some youtube movies that they only eat the white pulp and not the seed.
I saw that you can order it on orkos.com, so maybe I'll try how the white pulp taste once.
When I was on a raw vegan diet, I tried raw cacao beans, but they are horrible (and excluded on Wai). So maybe the pulp taste better, because that's what the only thing of the cacao the local people eat.

Re: Cacao fruit
Please keep us posted about the experience / taste!
My Ghanian girlfriend says it tastes delicious.

Re: Cacao fruit
I really really doubt those raw cacao beans are really raw (as the chocolate they sell).
Re: Cacao fruit
Ehr, we are talking about the cacao fruit (the white pulp) in which the beans are embedded, no?
Re: Cacao fruit
It is likely that cacao fruit goes bad too fast to be considered viable for export. This is the case for coffee berries, which I have read are quite delicious but highly perishable. Even if cacao fruit is tasty, it would be quite expensive to buy I imagine unless you were local to where it grows.
I do so like green eggs and ham. Thank you, thank you. Sam I am.

Price is 7 euro per kg.
I emailed them and they told me they get new fruit every week. If you order at monday you get the most fresh cacao fruits.
