The most unusual cacao pod I have ever seen
At The Chocolate Experience in Mexico City I was presented this most unusual cacao pod I have ever seen. This pod was on the stand of CACEP, a co-operative in the Tabasco area of Chiapas and was described to me as “cacao prehispanico.” Or, a type of cacao pod that existed before the Spanish arrived in Mesoamerica.
The person who showed this to me is the manager of marketing and eco-tourism for CACEP and he explained that the pod came from the Hacienda Jesus Maria, and is quite common.
Tabasco has a tourism agency that offers support for eco-tourism programs and I will be in touch about putting together a tour that includes the opportunity to see these pods in their natural environment.
