The fruit, called a cacao pod, is ovoid, 15–30 cm (6–12 in) long and 8–10 cm (3–4 in) wide, ripening yellow to orange, and weighs about 500 g (1 lb) when ripe. The pod contains 20 to 60 seeds, usually called "beans", embedded in a white pulp.
The seeds are the main ingredient of chocolate, while the pulp is used in some countries to prepare refreshing juice, smoothies, jelly, and cream. Usually discarded until practices changed in the 21st century, the fermented pulp may be distilled into an alcoholic beverage. Each seed contains a significant amount of fat (40–50%) as cocoa butter.
The fruit's active constituent is the stimulant theobromine, a compound similar to caffeine.
in my garden...
Please consider planting milkweed in your garden.... the Monarch Butterflies need this plant to survive....
These are inviting the birds to a feast so that the guests may distribute these seeds around the neighbourhood, eventually.
That's how I acquired my bush. (Known as the Butterfly Bush.)

A close look at Canna Lily pods, with their interesting spiky texture.
I guess you could technically call this a macro shot, but I consider it more of an extreme closeup.
La naturaleza esconde a menudo bellos rincones que nos hacen sentir insignificantes; verdaderos tesoros para nuestros sentidos que podemos disfrutar y debemos conservar.
Came upon these seed pods on the edge of a field and thought they were quite beautiful
Now IDed as Illinois Bundleflower by a kind Flickr-friend !
Ontario Place Pods, Toronto, were designed by Eb Zeidler. They were originally used for exhibitions at this public park/attraction. Now much of Ontario Place needs renovation. The city and citizen groups have been arguing what to do about it -- some want to demolish it and others want to renovate it because of its cultural heritage. Grunge texture added.

às vezes o tempo é pouco para pequenos passeios mas podemos sempre encontrar alguma beleza dentro de casa.
Dos poderosas locomotoras norteamericanas, la D-2801 y D-3003, maniobran juntas en los patios de Estación Laja con algunos vagones, para engancharlos a un tren y partir hacia Mininco.
The fiber holding this Burn Weed seedpod is so thin that at first glance it looks as if nothing is there. If you look very closely you may be able to just barely make out the hidden fiber. The fiber is obvious in the center right the and lower left of the picture.
I like the repeating patterns found in nature, like the individual seeds of grass in the seed pod.

Sumac red seed pods remain on plants into winter, providing emergency non-toxic food for birds. Only the female plants have the seed clusters.
