What is Cocoa?

Cocoa is the dried and fully fermented seed of the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao), which is native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. It is the fundamental ingredient in chocolate and is used in a wide range of food, beverage, and cosmetic products. Cocoa is prized for its distinctive flavor, nutritional benefits, and versatility.
