These are cocoa pods. A farm where cocoa is grown is called a plantation. The weather on a cocoa plantation needs to be hot and wet, or the cocoa will not grow.

Cocoa beans grow inside cocoa pods, which grow from the trunk of the Cacao tree (you say "Cack-ow").

The special, delicious taste of chocolate comes from cocoa, so this is a very important ingredient.
