![Cacao Pulp: All You Need to Know About That Mysterious Substance Inside the Cacao Pod! ✨
Chances are that, even if you're not a hardcore chocolate nerd, you've probably seen the cacao fruit before.
👨🏻🍳 Pictures of open cacao pods are now triumphantly shown on the packaging of many chocolate bars. More articles online are dedicated to where chocolate comes from and how it’s made, showing the entire process from seed to finished chocolate.
📚 Let’s just say that there has never been more educational material about chocolate than in 2021!
However, not much attention is given to that mysterious white pulp that surrounds the cacao beans inside the fruit.
🍫 Briefly mentioned in regard to the fermentation process, the white pulp has much more to say (and to offer) to chocoholics than just its temporary use in chocolate making... 🙌 🤤

![... Why is Bean-to-Bar Chocolate more expensive? Award-winning food writer Megan Giller shares her three practical reasons why bean-to-bar chocolate costs more... and, in her opinion, three reasons why it tastes better too! [LINK BIO]⠀
⠀
Here's an extract:⠀
⠀
Most of us are used to paying pocket change for a bar of chocolate. So it can be a shock when we find out the price of artisanal chocolate made bean-to-bar…⠀
⠀
Is there gold leaf running through its veins, like in some bottles of vodka? Or maybe it comes with a diamond ring? That’s quite a step up from the prizes we used to find in our cereal boxes!⠀
⠀
All joking aside, there are three practical reasons that bean-to-bar chocolate costs more, and, in my opinion, three reasons that it tastes better too.](https://scontent-sin6-4.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/153286185_939812683424482_9081060393873730981_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=WIrIWEhJj8oAX_trXrA&_nc_ht=scontent-sin6-4.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AT9arZ61Yx43brMFUL0kYJCKVMaADn2VGe8UGvywDF108A&oe=61EFF2F8)
![🍫 Craft chocolate terminology... it can be a minefield 🤯! Big thanks to Megan Gillar from @chocolatenoise for putting together a glossary [LINK IN BIO]!
⠀
Bean-to-bar: Chocolate made from scratch in small batches by people who buy, roast, and grind the beans themselves in a single facility. Chocolate made from pre-roasted nibs or premade chocolate liquor is not bean-to-bar. ⠀

![🍫 What’s That White Stuff on Your Chocolate Bar?⠀
. ⠀
.⠀
Many chocolate consumers still freak out when they see a white coating or white streaks on their chocolate, thinking it must have expired or gone bad. Truth is that chocolate, especially dark, takes an exceptionally long time to expire.⠀
You can potentially keep it for 10 years and it would still be safe to eat 😋🍫⏰⠀
.⠀
.⠀
So what exactly is that white stuff on your chocolate bar? It can be the result of a change in temperature, prolonged contact with water/humidity or a bad temper in the factory.⠀
Let Sharon (@thechocolatejournalist ) explain everything...⠀
