Question 12 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Environmental Science S1

Which of the following is not true regarding the cacao tree?

Answer
A
It originated in the Amazon.
B
The cacao tree produces fruit all year long.
C
Cocoa is made from the whole cacao fruit.
D
The cacao fruit has a mango flavor.

Explanation

Cocoa is made from the cacao seeds, commonly called cacao beans, rather than from the whole fruit. The fruit’s pulp surrounds the seeds and is not what is processed into cocoa, so the statement that cocoa is made from the whole cacao fruit is not true.
