They grow above ground and are much like other beans for drying such as kidney beans.
In a dry climate you can leave them to dry on the bush. In damp climates, or if you prefer, you can pick the pods at the yellow stage or uproot the plant and hang in an airy position. Leave to thoroughly dry. This may be a couple of weeks depending on the conditions. To ensure no weevils survive you can freeze them in an airtight container for a few days but take care not to open it until it has returned to room temperature or condensation will form.
There is not such a thing as a pinto tree. Pinto beans grow on vines, they do not grow on trees.
yeah from a cacao tree :)
No. For examples, peaches have large round pits but apple seeds are flatter and more ovoid.
Cocoa and Cocoa butter come from the beans of the cacao tree. They are dried, roasted, ground up and mixed with sugar to make eating chocolate.
The pods are cut off the trunk, opened, and the beans are removed to be dried, roasted, and ground into chocolate.

Cocoa beans come from the cocoa tree. The tree has large yellow or orange fruits with a shape similar to papaya or butternut squash. Inside the fruit is the seeds, the cocoa beans. The beans are extracted and dried before they are roasted in a similar manner as coffee beans.
The Cocoa Tree! The fruits of the cocoa tree are oval-shaped pods, 8 to 14 inches long, ranging in colour from yellow or green to red or violet and containing the cocoa beans. See www.cocoatree.org
Yes, cocoa beans are considered a fruit because they come from the cacao tree's fruit pods.
Coffee grows on trees, not underground. These are relatively small trees that are often grown under the shade of other trees, since that is how the beans mature best. Coffee beans are actually the seeds of the tree.
