COSTA RICA!

Welcome to the Rainforest…

Ferns that reach into the sky;  exquisite birds, fauna and flora abound ; black volcanic beaches and white sandy beaches with crystal blue/green water lie below lush flora and  dense  tropical greenery.  What a wonderful place to discover the majesty of  the rain forest. Over 90% of all the medicines of the world come out of the fauna and flora of the rainforest. The Cecropia  and Javilla trees are ground and used as a powder for medicinal purposes.  Another tree is being used to experiment with diabetes.  The redwood, teak, and mahogany trees are magnificent structures that are used all over the world for beautiful furniture. Do you chew Chicklets gum?  Fruit and nut trees abound—cashew trees with red nuts, banana trees, coffee trees on the side of 2/3,000 foot mountains, and chocolate ( cocao) trees. 

Chocolate is in a hard green shell.  When the shell is opened a tasteless marshmallow substance is inside with white seeds in it. In the soft, plyible white center the seeds are taken out and cooked.  Inside these white seeds are small chocolate seeds..
