## Description

VALLEYSPICE - Cocoa Beans | Cacao Beans from Kerala, 1kg : desertcart.in: Grocery & Gourmet Foods

Review: Good beans! - I'm no expert on cacao beans, but these beans were nice. They stayed whole, didn't break apart after roasting. Tasted good. No bug chews, no mold. The bag is actually not see-through plastic, like in the pictures, which is probably better for preserving quality. I'd order again. I roasted for 15 minutes on a stove top gas burner. Smells like brownies!

Very good quality beans. These are not roasted but fermented and dried only.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great taste and flavor
*by A***R on 2 September 2021*

Bought 1 kg pack , it is of clear brown in color, properly fermented and dried. I got right quality powder from it with rich aroma and taste from it when added in milk, in home mode cake. All the beans I got are of same brown color, uniform in size and weight , with no excess moisture , clean. All beans are of good quality, no wastage and it worth the money ...it is great to experience in tasting the difference of properly fermented and good quality beans
