Making Chocolate From Magic Beans!... The first step is cleaning. The cocoa beans are passed through a machine that removes dried cocoa pulp, pieces of pod and other extraneous material. The beans are carefully weighed and blended according to specifications. Finally, the last vestiges of wood, jute fibres, sand and even the finest dust are extracted by powerful vacumm equipment. The separated cocoa bean husks are passed on to the chemical industry which extracts valuable compounds. 3, record 3, English, - cleaning
