Origin
Theobroma Cacao Shell Powder is made from the outer shells of cacao beans. The process involves harvesting cacao pods, removing the beans, and drying the shells. Once dried, the shells are roasted to enhance their flavor and aroma. The roasted shells are then ground into a fine powder. This powder is sieved to achieve the desired texture and consistency.
