Wonderful chocolate… have you ever wondered who grows the beans?
Here’s a heart-warming story about farmers who are taking their own beans and turning them into chocolate, increasing the income they receive for their labors.
When Chocolate Is a Way of Life – NYTimes.com says:
“César and Magdalena Dahua grow cacao, along with pineapples, vanilla, avocados, cassava, coffee, oranges and plantains. As they hack off the football-shaped fruit of the cacao trees, their three youngest daughters run barefoot nearby. The girls stop to suck the sticky white pulp that envelops the cacao beans in the pods. It tastes like Sour Patch candies.”
Think about the farmers next time you bite into a bar of chocolate.
