Sun-Dried Cocoa Beans 500 g

Unlock real chocolate flavour. These Wayanad cacao beans are hand-picked from ripened yellow pods, heap-fermented for five days to develop chocolate notes, then slowly sun-dried on raised mats until moisture falls below 7 %. The result is a clean, raw bean with deep cocoa aroma, mild fruitiness and zero smoke—ideal for bean-to-bar makers, home roasting, or grinding into fresh nibs for smoothies and baking.
