Other things you can make from the components of chocolate

Do you know that only 20% of the cacao fruit is used to make chocolate?

The remaining 80% (cacao pod, placenta, cacao pulp and cacao bean husks) is usually discarded because only the cacao beans inside are useful in the production of chocolate 🍈🚮

But companies are finding innovative ways to recycle and upcycle all the other precious parts of the cacao fruit!

Cacao drinks are becoming super popular lately, so here I wanted to show you 4 of them I had in my pantry:

🧉 CACAO WATER 🧉
The sweet and fruity cacao pulp that surrounds the cacao beans inside the fruit is turned into a fresh yet natural drink without added sugar. This is coconut water for chocolate lovers.

🥤 CACAO SODA 🥤
When the cacao bean shells are separated from the cacao nibs during the winnowing process, they are usually thrown away. Here they find new life in a fizzy drink to be enjoyed alone or in creative cocktails.

🥃 CACAO LIQUOR 🥃
The cacao bean shells enter the distillery to be turned into a liquor that has nothing to envy to rum or gin. Cacao nuances, syrupy texture and a tipsy aftertaste.

☕️ CACAO TEA ☕️
Cacao bean shells are infused in hot water for about 3-4 minutes for a warm beverage that tastes and smells like chocolate, but with the lightness of a tea.

Who knew that cacao waste could taste so delicious!
