Endlich haben wir wieder Bio Kakaobohnen aus São Tomé und Príncipe bekommen (ab heute Nachmittag auch wieder online bestellbar).
Leider wurde das Glück durch einen Sack getrübt den wir wegen Schimmel aussortieren mussten. Bei den Kakaopreisen fühlt sich das wie Geld aus dem Fenster werfen an.
Ghana leads in cocoa production, exporting rich, high-quality beans to Switzerland, Belgium, and the U.S. Despite challenges like climate change and shifting preferences, Ghana is investing in eco-friendly farming and fair trade to secure its future in the global chocolate market.

This juice, which is 14% sugar, is distilled down to form a highly concentrated syrup, combined with the pulp and then, taking sustainability to new levels, mixed with the dried husk, or #endocarp, to form a very sweet #cocoagel.
The gel, when added to the #cocoabeans to make chocolate, eliminates the need for sugar.” (3/3)

How much #cadmium is contained in #cocoabeans? https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.analchem.2c05370 https://phys.org/news/2023-04-cadmium-cocoa-beans.html
Cocoa beans can absorb toxic heavy metals such as cadmium from the soil. Some cultivation areas, especially in South America, are polluted with these heavy metals, in some cases considerably. In combining different X-ray fluorescence techniques, a team at BESSY II has now been able to non-invasively measure for the first time where cadmium accumulates exactly in cocoa beans: Mainly in the shell.
