The Chocolate Tree: A Natural History of Cacao $20.17 Young provides an overview of the fascinating natural and human history of one of the world’s most intriguing commodities: chocolate. Cultivated for over 1,000 years in Latin America and the starting point for millions of tons of chocolate annually consumed worldwide, cacao beans have been used for beverages, as currency, and for regional trade. After the Spanish brought the delectable secret of the cacao tree back to Europe in the late 16th century, its seeds created and fed an insatiable worldwide appetite for chocolate." The Chocolate Tree" chronicles the natural and cultural history of "Theobroma cacao" and explores its ecological niche. Tracing cacao’s journey out of the rain forest, into pre-Columbian gardens, and then onto plantations adjacent to rain forests, Young describes the production of this essential crop, the environmental price of Europeanized cultivation, and ways that current reclamation efforts for New World rain forests can improve the natural ecology of the cacao tree. Amid encounters with sloths, toucans, butterflies, giant tarantula hawk wasps, and other creatures found in cacao groves, Young identifies a tiny fly that provides a vital link between the chocolate tree and its original rain forest habitat. This discovery leads him to conclude that cacao trees in cultivation today may have lost their original insect pollinators due to the plant’s long history of agricultural manipulation. In addition to basic natural history of the cacao tree and the relationship between cacao production systems and the preservation of the rain forest, Young also presents a history of the use of cacao, from the archaeological evidence of Mesoamerica to contemporary evidence of therelationship between chocolate consumption and mental and physical health. A rich concoction of cultural and natural history, archaeological evidence, botanical research, environmental activism, and lush descriptions of a contemporary adventurer’s encounters with tropical wonders, "The Chocolate Tree" offers an appreciation of the plant and the environment that provide us with this Mayan "food of the gods."

Cocoa (Cacao) Nibs Cut & Sifted Cert. Organic (Theobroma cacao) 1 lb: C $25.04 Real chocolate is a cocoa paste made from cacao seeds. Cacao seeds are the fruit of the cacao tree, Theobroma cacao. Cacao is a Mayan word, not an Aztec word. The Aztecs, who rose to power hundreds of years after the Mayan collapse, called Vanilla ‘tlilxochitl,’ ‘black flower.’ It flavored their ‘cacao water,’ ‘cacahuatl’ in the Aztec tongue Náhuatl, ‘chocol haa’ in the ancestral Mayan tongue. Cacahuatl was made from vanilla, cocoa beans, honey, hot water and other spices, such as annatto. The Aztecs considered Cacahuatl to be aphrodisiac. Cacao was named Theobroma by Linnaeus, the word meaning ‘food of the gods.’ The fruit of the cacao tree is a huge berry, the cacao pod, usually egg or melon-shaped, 5 to 12 inches long and 3 to 5 inches wide. The cacao pod contains 30 to 40 seeds. It takes 20 to 25 pods to get 2 pounds of cocoa. Once the tree reaches maturity, fruit pods will sprout from its trunk and branches. The golden-red to purple fruit pods turn brown at maturity, at which time they are split open and the insides scooped out. Each pod generally produces 20 to 40 almond-shaped cacao beans. http://www.robwildridge.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/MAKING.HTM: There are three main products from cocoa: cocoa powder, plain chocolate and milk chocolate. The first few stages are the same for both cocoa powder and chocolate. Fermentation and drying, and often roasting are usually performed in the country where the cocoa was grown. Fermentation Beans removed from the pods are left to ferment for 5-6 days. This is usually at a raised temperature (45-50°C). The seeds germinate and die. Drying For 1-2 weeks the beans are left on mats or trays in the sun to dry, during this process they loose approximately half their weight, while the enzyme action from the fermentation continues. Roasting The beans are roasted for 1-2 hours at 99-104°C for chocolate or 116-121°C for cocoa powder. This process helps to develop the flavour and aroma. Winnowing The beans have their shells removed by a cracking and fanning process, producing ‘cocoa nibs’. Dutching (alkalizing) This process was invented by the Dutchman Van Houten, cocoa nibs are heated with potassium or sodium carbonates before the grindng process to improve the ease with which the resulting cocoa mixes. This process also weakens the flavour and darkens the drink, and is not used by all manufactures. Grinding The nibs are then ground to produce waht is known as chocolate liquor. It is here that the paths for cocoa powder and chocolate split. Cocoa Dutching This step is more or less required to make cocoa properly, but is identical to the Dutching step above. Pressing The Chocolate is pressed to remove the fat. This was originally done by boiling and skimming, but Van Houten produced a hydraulic press, which was far more efficient. After the grinding process there is approximately 53% cocoa butter, this is reduced to 27% by pressing. The cocoa cake and cocoa bu
