Cocoa is a tree from America that produces a fruit of the same name that can be used as an ingredient

for foods among which chocolate stands out. Its use dates back to the time of the Mayans, Aztecs and
Incas, and since then it has been used for both nutritional and medical purposes.

Cocoa is a tropical fruit that comes from the cacao tree and is the basic component of chocolate. Cocoa
seeds are those that are used in the production of chocolate, specifically by extracting these cocoa seeds
from two derived products: cocoa paste, which is a solid matter and cocoa butter, fat.
