We discussed Cacao trees, their pods and beans. The trees are grown in area that are between 10 degrees north and south of the equator. Each cacao pod contains 40 to 50 beans. It takes approximately 110 to 150 beans to make 1 pound of chocolate.
We also discussed the eleven steps of chocolate production, from harvesting to final shaping. Once we reviewed the steps of production, we moved on to chocolate truffles and the procedures for making truffles. Tomorrow we will be making truffles along with other chocolate confections.
