Health benefits:

  • Studies suggest that eating chocolate every day can have a positive impact on lowering blood pressure. Chocolate contains antioxidants that can help to protect the heart.
  • Cocoa powder, made by fermenting the plant's cocoa beans, is said to help ward off heart disease. Cocoa powder is a good source of flavonoids, which have been shown to improve blood flow and reduce inflammation.
  • The bean can also be used to make cocoa butter, a rich moisturizer that helps skin stay hydrated and look younger. Cocoa butter is a natural emollient that can help to protect the skin from damage.

Other details:

  • The Chocolate Tree Yellow is a beautiful and fragrant tree that is native to Central and South America. The tree has dark green leaves and yellow flowers. The flowers give off a sweet fragrance.

  • The tree will begin to produce fruit after about 3 years of age. The fruit of the Chocolate Tree Yellow is a pod that contains 20-30 beans.
  • The beans are used to make chocolate, cocoa powder, and cocoa butter. Chocolate is made by grinding the beans and then mixing them with sugar and other ingredients. Cocoa powder is made by grinding the beans and then removing the fat. Cocoa butter is made by extracting the fat from the beans.

Brown with in 3 days

Arrived very wilted ! Watered immediately upon receiving , left in pot to let it get acclimated to new home before planting . Watered twice a day but nothing was helping this poor plant . The entire plant was brown by 3rd day . Planted in ground on fourth day just to see if that would help it any . However, it’s still looking the same

Awaiting Adjustment

I'm in the Tampa area and think my two trees are undergoing a period of transitionary adjustment as all the leaves have just about fallen off though they receive amply sun and water in the original container. But the order arrived in good condition and in relatively short time.
