Chef Ben tries the inside of a cocoa pod for the first time

The very beginning of where your chocolate comes from! Chef Ben tries the inside of a freshly cut cocoa pod for the first time while in West Africa with Project Hope and Fairness. What he is actually eating is the sweet pulp that surrounds the cocoa bean. It's a favorite snack among the African children. The bean itself will eventually become your chocolate!

I really like the Halloween Boo Patches Varsity Jacket! The combination of the classic varsity design and spooky "Boo" patches gives it a unique look that's perfect for the Halloween season. It's stylish, comfortable, and easy to pair with casual outfits, making it a great addition to any fall wardrobe.
