Cocoa, Theobroma cacao, is an evergreen tree in the family Malvaceae, grown for its seeds (beans) which are used primarily in the manufacture of chocolate. The cocoa plant is a branching tree with simple, pointed (lanceolate) leaves that can measure up to 61 cm (24 in) long and 10 cm (4 in) wide. The cocoa pods (drupes) can be green-white, yellow, purplish, or red each of which contains 20–50 seeds, usually arranged in five distinct rows. The cocoa tree can reach 4–20 m (13-66 ft) in height and can live for up to 40 years although the commercial life of a cocoa tree is usually about 25 years.
