My box of Cacao pods arrived well packed and insulated. The fruit was wonderful, fresh, and delicious. I planned to teach the kids how to make chocolate, but they were so fascinated with the colors and texture of the pods and how they grow that time hasn’t permitted the original plan. The pods were very beautiful, fresh, and firm. I had previously ordered a different fruit, was pleasantly surprised and hoped this fruit would be satisfying and this shipment of cacao arrived and exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be ordering fresh tropical fruits from this company again.
