People all over the country do this, not just in Guayaquil. This is part of the chocolate making process. When the cacao pod is opened all the inner seed are covered in sweet jelly like stuff. This is usually sucked off because of it's sweet taste. Or in more sanitary instances rinsed off. Then the cocoa beans are left to dry. After they are dried they are ground into cocoa powder. Although most Ecuadorians sell the beans whole to be processed elsewhere.
