What Are Cocoa Shells?

There are other products which are obtained from the cacao seed. One is

called Broma--which is the dry powder of the seeds, after the oil has

been taken out.

Cocoa shells are the husks which surround the cocoa bean. These are

ground up into a fine powder and sold for making a kind of cocoa for

drinking, although the flavor is to a great extent missing and it is,

of course, not nearly so nourishing as a drink of real cocoa.
