BoS 15/33 - Fruit of the Cacao Tree
Theobroma cacao. Naturzal size. Made of SOMSO-Plast®. According to Prof. Dr. W. Weber. Dismantable in 7 parts.

In each of the fruit compartments of the five-compartment fruit knot on the axial placenta there are two rows of seeds. The fruit is a dry bean with a fibrous, firm pericarp. Upon ripening the bean is embedded in a pink mucilaginous light coloured pulp on the pod wall. The removable contents of the pod can be seen in five double rows of beans. The thin seed coat encompasses the shoot with the two storage cotyledons. Two of the seeds can be removed. The one (a) is cut lengthwise and shows the shoot with the folded cotyledons, the other (b) is cut crosswise and also enables the cross cut cotyledons to be seen.
