Redeeming the 82%: A Culinary Journey into Cocoa's Hidden Treasures

Redeeming the 82%: A Culinary Journey into Cocoa's Hidden Treasures is a manifestation of David Greenwood-Haigh's profound admiration for the dedicated cocoa farmers who nurture this sacred plant.

Through this book, he pays a heartfelt tribute to their tireless efforts and explores the transformative potential of agriculture.

An interesting tidbit to consider: according to the Upcycled Food Association, upcycling cocoa fruit could have a carbon-reducing impact equivalent to planting a staggering 3.5 billion trees annually. 

David's journey is a testament to this sustainable endeavor, as he unravels the incredible potential hidden within the often-overlooked remnants of cocoa pods—an astounding 82% of the cocoa fruit. 

This practice aligns seamlessly with one of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030: the reduction of food waste.

But David's creations are not just about minimizing food waste; they are an introduction to a world where what was once discarded becomes delectable, and what was forgotten becomes unforgettable.

Join us as we explore the hidden potential of cocoa and embrace a sustainable approach to food.
