Cacao Farm Tour in Costa Rica

Have you ever been on a chocolate tour? And why not? 🍫🌴🦜 . If you’re headed somewhere tropical, put a food tour on your family vacation list. Especially if you’re headed to Costa Rica! Have you ever had the slimy, white, alien pod that is raw cacao pods? We love it! Did you know cacao pods go bad too quickly and that’s why you never see them imported? It’s such a shame because they really are so good! (Look at the photo. It’s so weird!!) What do you do on a chocolate tour? 🗿Learn about cacao farms and history. 🌴Compare raw and roasted cacao pods. ☕️Shell the pods by hand and taste the bitterness! 👍Hand-grind the pods to make a paste. 🍶Taste original chocolate drinks… then add sugar. 😋Make homemade chocolate bars. 🙌And take them back for later snacks! . . . Forget the chocolate! (If you must 😜) just don’t forget the tour. Food education means you get to eat it too. 👉There are food tours everywhere. There’s probably even a farm to explore in your town! You don’t have to travel far to find a food adventure. . . . @fincalunanuevalodge chocolate tour on the Costa Rica family trip; May 2023 . . .
