Well, these are two different plants. Cocaine comes from processing leaves of the coca plant, and chocolate products (coco liquor, butter, and chocolate treats) come from the coco bean, or cocoa.

What is the difference between cocoa and cacao?

Theobroma cacao (Cacao Tree) is the tree from which the Cacao bean comes. Cacao beans are found inside the "fruit" of the tree, pods about the size of a football. Cocoa is what the beans are called once they have been cleaned, roasted and processed. Cacao is the same bean but still in the raw state, uncooked and unprocessed. The ORAC value comparison per 100 grams 1) Raw cacao powder 95,500 2) Raw cacao nibs 62,100 3) Roasted cocoa powder 26,000 Raw cacao is comprised of over 300 compounds including: Carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber, iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, calcium and sulfur. Cacao once cooked and processed ("Cocoa") Loses much of its nutritional goodness which are destroyed by the heat. Once milk is added the antioxidant levels drop also dramatically. This is what you find in the popular chocolate bars and candies. Raw foodists will only use and advocate raw cacao for its high nutritional value which gives it the "superfood" status. In the United States, cacao is often referred to simply as cocoa, which leads to the confusion as to the difference between the two.

Is a coco bean grown from a single seed?

(This answer assumes the question is about the "Cocoa" bean from which Chocolate is made.) The Cocoa bean is the seed of the Cacao tree. Cacao trees may be grown from a single seed (that is, Cocoa bean), however in practice they are often propagated from a "cutting" to control the genetic heritage of the plant. (Cocoa beans are found in "Pods", that grow from the trunk of the tree, containing many beans or seeds. It is not necessary to plant a whole pod to get a tree.)
