Hello guys, here is my entry for the #celestialchallenge introduced by @sirknight.
Cocoa Bean
It is the fermented seeds of the cacao tree whose Latin name is Theobroma cacao, which means
"Food of the Gods.
This amazing fruit contains sweet pulps which covers up to about 20-40 cacao seeds, which when processed, gives us chocolate.
Did You Know
Cocoa helps in reducing high blood pressure, reduces cholesterol, obesity, constipation, bronchial asthma.
More to this, it is used as a means of foreign exchange, thereby increasing the wealth of a nation.
It's quite sad today that in my country (Nigeria), crude oil has completely removed this great means of income generation.
I would like to appeal to the federal government to take time and look into agriculture and see the rich benefits hidden in the benevolent gift of nature.
The pictures below shows clearly this amazing Fruit Of The Gods.
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Cocoa has always been a major cash crop in Nigeria ever since we discover oil. It then led to the reduction of of cocoa farming.
