The cacao tree produce fruit and you make your own chocolate, inside the pods have a lot of seeds with white pulp taste delicious so you process the seeds and make cacao. My family make his own chocolate is more nutricious.

I have two orange cacao trees here in Idaho, Zone 6. I keep them in a sunny window and they are growing wonderfully. Keep above 65 degrees F and they seem to do fine.
