A Wild Cacao Pod in the Hand
Though I was told that the seeds of the wild cacao were very small (they are - I will post a photo soon), it never really sunk in what that meant in terms of pod size. This pod is an average size for one of the varieties of wild cacao that grows. If you refer back to the photo of the six pods you'll get an idea for how small even the biggest one is (and it is above average in size). You have to harvest a LOT of pods in order to get even a decent amount of fresh cacao to sell.
