Cacao fruit "pulp"

The origin of cacao is old, and it is said that it has been native to Mexico of the Aztec civilization for about 4000 years. It is said that it was an elixir of immortality that the king drinks in the Inca Empire, and it has been useful as a beauty and health ingredient even after moving to Europe.

White pulp called "cacao pulp" is a valuable ingredient that accounts for only about 7% of the fruit of one cacao. In the country of origin, it is popular as a nutrient source rich in calories and minerals, but it is difficult to maintain quality stability in distribution, and it seems that it was hard to hit the market. With recent technological developments, it has finally become possible to enjoy it in Japan as well.

Pulp is an important nutrient that is indispensable for the "fermentation of cacao beans" that determines the deliciousness of chocolate. The deep and rich taste of chocolate is due to the cocoa pulp.

Cacao fruit juice
