Carried on the Wind

Dec. 15, 2006 - Mystery Pictures

Thanks to those of you who guessed on what the mystery pictures were. The prize will have to go to callmekate for guessing correctly that the red berries were coffee. They grow on trees with dark glossy leaves and are called coffee cherries. How they get from there to your cup is a pretty lengthy process.
The first item is a cocao pod! Inside of each of the little white sections is a bean that, through yet another long process, becomes chocolate! Erik brought the cocao pod back from his trip to the coffee plantation in the mountains of Mexico. He had me guess what it was and I had no idea either. Hooray for tropical climates that give us such yummy treats.

Wow! Thanks, Rebeca! It was fun trying to make a guess. I can't believe chocolate comes from the other, er, thing! Even more baffling is how someone stumbled upon a WAY of making chocolate from it! I guess I need to do some research now - I'm curious. This was fun and informative - and I'm looking forward to my prize. I'll send you my address. Thanks again!

Kate
