Yes, it does grow on trees. It all begins with the small tropical tree, Theobroma cacao. Theobroma is Greek for "food of the gods".
Cacao is native to Central and South America. Commercially it is grown throughout the tropics with 70% of the world's cacao grown in Africa. From the time the cacao beans are picked it can take weeks before you can have an edible piece of delicious, dark chocolate.
