Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is a tropical evergreen tree native to the Amazon region of South America, and its pods are the source of the cocoa beans that are used for chocolate. Cacao prefers to grow as an understory tree with protection from the sun and the wind, and can grow up to 40 ft tall in its natural habitat (but is often kept at 10-15 ft for cultivation). There are hundreds of different varieties and phenotypes of cacao, with each one having a different pod shape, size, color, and flavor profile. When harvesting cacao, the general rule is the brighter the pod, the riper the fruit, - so the ripest cacao pods will be bright and vibrant shades of scarlet red, lemon yellow, and pumpkin orange, similar to the crisp color of leaves in autumn, or the bright colors of the sky as the sun sets. This pod was grown at The Kuia Estate Cacao Farm, in Lahaina, Maui.
