@infochemiphar.net: Sorting cocoa beans is the critical post-harvest step where defective beans, stones, debris, and flat shells are separated from high-quality beans to ensure uniform roasting, protect machinery, and guarantee chocolate flavor consistency. Unsorted beans lead to uneven roasting, which destroys the final flavor profile and can introduce off-notes like bitterness, acidity, or a burnt taste into the chocolate.#cocoa beans#export #seedtesting #farmers #accreditations
