Additionally, both coffee and cacao have “mutated” in the wild and crossed naturally in lands other than their native habitat to create distinctive new offspring
All of a sudden, this question made me take note of how fortunate we are to have so many fruits available to us as well as the ability to eat them in moderation. Some amongst us can't, for health reasons while others on the other side of the spectrum don't even get basic food.
I'm currently growing cacao (chocolate) trees in my office cubicle. It really is a multi purpose fruit tree. Not only can you get chocolate, some of which have definite coffee flavors to them, but you can also eat the pulp of the fruit. It's the gooey outer coating of the fruit but tastes like nothing else you've had. The best I've been able to describe it is watermelon crossed with a shocktart!Now, let's not get hasty!!

On top of that you can also ferment it to make alcohol. Can you go wrong with this fruit?

What it is saying of course is "You need to move to Hawaii!".I love growing stuff exotic, but as soon as I read the instructions, asking me to give the seeds 24c to 27c, I despair and say to myself, "Forget it!"
