Found some huge Vanilla bean vines in the orchid house at the botanic garden. One of them looks like it's developing some vanilla beans near the top!

First time I've seen cacao pods in a grocery store! 🙂🍫

This one is from Ecuador. Possibly one of these varieties:
Nacional (Arriba) – A historic variety known for floral and fruity notes.
CCN-51 – A high-yield hybrid with a stronger, more bitter flavor, often used in commercial chocolate.
