You guys are doing it right. Its called Koko Fa'apa'u or Fa'apa'uga Koko. When you sun dry them, we call that Koko Fa'alā and there,are still those that do it that way butmajority of families nowadays, Fa'apa'u the koko over open fire. Each to their own. The stem inside that holds the beans is called the fuge. You should eat it, its actually nice. Well done ladies.
We used to suck on the seeds and let them dry out in the sun for days. We eat the fuge. I love, love, love koko samoa because of my grandma. I was always with her when she makes it and then ate the roasted bean instead of putting it in to the tanoa lol. You guys are so much fun.
Yum, you are missing the best part is eating all of the white part outside of the bean, then spit it out once it is done for burning. 🤣, the best memories as a kid. Keep up these wonderful uploads and thank you for sharing your journey beautiful people 🙌🏽🙌🏽
We use to love sucking the cocoa beans as kids these were like our Cadbury chocolates as kids lol. Love it enjoying the journey . These vlogs are gems that you and your kids will cherish forever. Alofa alu from a fellow Aleipata representer.
Doing it that way is the best way apprantenly if you put it out in the sun first it takes away the natural smell of the koko beans.So doing it fresh is the best way
You don't roast the cocoa in the sun, you dry the cocoa in the sun, but you can roast the cocoa on fire fresh off the cocoa tree or dry cocoa. I love to drink roasted cocoa off the tree.
