Part G Answers may vary. Here's one corrected version: Chocolate is a food made from the seeds of a cacao tree. The tree produces the beans from which all chocolate is made. These trees flourish in a warm, moist climate, and live in an area close to the equator. Workers cut the pods from the trees with knives attached to long poles, or with machetes. They gather the pods into heaps, cut them open, and scoop out the beans. The beans are dried and shipped to factories; there, they are processed into a substance called chocolate liquor. Many kinds of chocolate products are then manufactured.
