Cocoa plant and fruit lineart of the day

Our lineart of the day is Cocoa( Drawing/ line-art below).

As a child, I remembered licking the seed of the cocoa fruit( it is covered in a white creamy substance) . Can’t remember the taste but was told then that the chocolate drink( Milo, Bournvita, Pronto), chocolate ( Chocomilo to be precise) and much more were gotten from this Cocoa seed.

It is a Cash crop in Nigeria and it was a main source of income until crude oil was discovered in the southern part of Nigeria. It grows in various part of Nigeria especially the middle belt to the western part including Edo state.

Use it in a craft of your choosing.

You can paint it with different media but in all enjoy colouring it.
