they grow cocoa beans in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>But amazingly, cacao is currently being grown on all of the Hawaiian islands! This makes Hawaii the only place in North America where cacao can be farmed. The islands have many different micro-climates &#8211; on the Big Island you can even ski at the top of Mauna Kea and go to the beach in the same day!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-are-cocoa-beans-grown-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Where are cocoa beans grown in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You&#39;ll now find about 100 planted acres of cacao growing on the islands of Oahu, the Big Island of Hawaii, and lesser amounts on the islands of Maui and Kauai, with the amount of cacao grown in Hawaii increasing by 25&#37; each year.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-hawaii-produce-chocolate\"><\/span>Does Hawaii produce chocolate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hawaii is the only U<br \/> state whose climate is suitable for growing cacao, the main ingredient in chocolate. Yet, more than 180 years since the plant was first documented here, the Islands&#39; bean-to-bar chocolate industry is still in its infancy.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-did-cacao-get-to-hawaii\"><\/span>How did cacao get to Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cacao first came to Hawaii via Guatemala in the 1830s, according to the Hawaii Chocolate Association. The trees grew in David Kalakaua&#39;s gardens. In the 1850s, German physician and botanist William Hillebrand planted cacao in what is now Foster Botanical Garden in Honolulu.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-much-cocoa-does-hawaii-produce\"><\/span>How much cocoa does Hawaii produce?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>According to O&#39;Doherty, the going rate for one kilogram of cacao is $5 to $10, but Hawaiian cacao could be double. And, according to the 2020 Hawaii Cacao Survey, just short of 133 acres were harvested in 2019 with a total yield of 32.8 tons of dry beans.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-hawaii-have-good-chocolate\"><\/span>Does Hawaii have good chocolate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These local chocolate companies ranked as the sweetest in our 2019 Readers&#39; Choice Awards. Fun fact: Hawaii is the only state where cacao trees grow, and many local chocolate companies are using Island-grown chocolates in their candies and treats.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-only-us-state-that-can-easily-grow-cacao-beans\"><\/span>What is the only US state that can easily grow cacao beans?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hawaii is the only state that can sustain commercial cacao production.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-long-does-it-take-for-a-cocoa-tree-to-bear-fruit\"><\/span>How long does it take for a cocoa tree to bear fruit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Three to five years<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-grow-your-own-cocoa-plant\"><\/span>Can you grow your own cocoa plant?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So, while it&#39;s certainly possible to grow your own cocoa plant at home, it&#39;s no easy feat! A lot goes into the process of creating your favourite chocolates, and it all begins with growing cocoa beans.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-is-the-best-cocoa-grown\"><\/span>Where is the best cocoa grown?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are many countries that produce cocoa in the world. But not all cocoas are the same. There are them of greater or lesser quality; suitable for making derivatives or ideal for the most demanding palates. Currently, Ecuador is the country where the highest quality cocoa is found.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-cocoa-farmers-poor\"><\/span>Why are cocoa farmers poor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Too little land, too few alternatives. An important underlying cause of poverty is that many cocoa farmers simply do not have enough land to produce enough cocoa beans to have a decent income. As a result, they are also unable to invest sufficiently in better farming methods.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-cacao-trees-grow-indoor\"><\/span>Can cacao trees grow indoor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cacao trees are not easy to grow, especially if you want to cultivate them outside of their natural environment. Occasionally growers keep them as houseplants. But it is very difficult to provide them with the proper light and humidity levels indoors, and they often won&#39;t ever produce seed pods.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-hard-is-it-to-grow-cocoa-beans\"><\/span>How hard is it to grow cocoa beans?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cacao trees are quite finicky. They need protection from the sun and wind, which is why they thrive in the understory of warm rainforests. Growing cacao trees requires mimicking these conditions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-many-cocoa-beans-does-1-tree-produce\"><\/span>How many cocoa beans does 1 tree produce?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With proper care, most cocoa trees yield pods by the fourth or fifth year and can continue for another 30 years. A typical pod contains 30 to 40 beans and there are about 30 pods per tree; approximately 400 dried beans are required to make one pound of cocoa.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-coca-the-same-as-cocoa\"><\/span>Is Coca the same as cocoa?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cocoa refers to a powder made from cacao beans, or to a drink made with this powder. Coca refers to plants that are used to make cocaine.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-many-cocoa-beans-does-one-tree-produce\"><\/span>How many cocoa beans does one tree produce?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On average: \u2022 Each tree will yield 20 to 30 pods per year. Each pod contains 20 to 40 beans. Approximately 400 beans are required to make one pound of chocolate.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-is-70-of-the-worlds-chocolate-grown\"><\/span>Where is 70&#37; of the world&#39;s chocolate grown?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>70&#37; of the world&#39;s cocoa beans come from four West African countries: Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon. The Ivory Coast and Ghana are by far the two largest producers of cocoa: together they cultivate more than half of the world\u00b4s cocoa.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-cacao-and-cocoa\"><\/span>What is the difference between cacao and cocoa?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cacao is the raw, unprocessed version of cocoa. Both can benefit your health, but it&#39;s best to stick to either the raw version, cacao, or a chocolate product that has a high chocolate liquor content. Raw cacao can take some getting used to. It tastes a little different than cocoa products and can be slightly bitter.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-cocoa-a-fruit-or-vegetable\"><\/span>Is cocoa a fruit or vegetable?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The bean itself is a seed and a seed technically is a nut. So it comes from the nut inside the fruit. So, is cocoa a fruit? Yes, it is, rather than being a vegetable.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-eat-raw-cocoa-beans\"><\/span>Can you eat raw cocoa beans?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Raw cacao is the purest form of chocolate one can consume. Whether consumed in powder form, as cacao nibs or cacao beans, it is far less processed than its heated and treated cocoa counterpart.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-country-has-best-chocolate\"><\/span>What country has best chocolate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Switzerland. Switzerland has, hands down, some of the world&#39;s best chocolate. Swiss chocolate is usually high-quality milk chocolate, with a silky smooth texture. Many people credit the delicious taste of Swiss chocolate to the high-quality milk they use from local Alpine cows.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-chocolate-a-laxative\"><\/span>Is chocolate a laxative?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While chocolate is constipating to some people, cocoa or components of it might actually help with constipation in other people.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-foods-make-you-poop\"><\/span>What foods make you poop?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Apples. Apples are a good source of fiber, with one small apple (5.3 ounces or 149 grams) providing 3.6 grams of fiber ( 2 ).  <\/li>\n<li>Prunes. Prunes are often used as a natural laxative \u2014 and for good reason.  <\/li>\n<li>Kiwi.  <\/li>\n<li>Flax seeds.  <\/li>\n<li>Pears.  <\/li>\n<li>Beans.  <\/li>\n<li>Rhubarb.  <\/li>\n<li>Artichokes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-chocolate-make-you-fart\"><\/span>Does chocolate make you fart?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Chocolate and Indigestion Especially if you have a digestive disorder, such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn&#39;s disease or diverticulitis, chocolate can cause the digestive system to produce excess gas.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-do-i-feel-sick-after-eating-chocolate\"><\/span>Why do I feel sick after eating chocolate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Traditionally, chocolate has been viewed as a potential trigger for gut symptoms like pain, cramping, bloating, gas and diarrhea. This is because chocolate, particularly milk chocolate, contains a lot of sugar, including lactose, milk proteins and fat \u2013 all of which can cause symptoms in susceptible persons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But amazingly, cacao is currently being grown on all of the Hawaiian islands!
