it tastes like mangosteen.. the flesh that surrounds the seeds can be sweet..

I love chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeeSA
I tasted some of the powder which was extremely bitter - can see why they add loads of sugar. And a chocolate bar is definitely a whole lot yummier. :)

Gotta taste it. But I feel I would prefer a chocolate bar over it ;)

Aman
Cool! Do you know how it tastes unprocessed?
DeeSA
This is correct, the seeds are used to make cocoa powder/chocolate.
