Cocoa Shell

Cocoa shell, a byproduct of the cocoa industry, is derived from the outer husk of the cocoa bean, which is removed during the chocolate-making process. It is rich in fiber, nitrogen, and natural oils. Cocoa shell is often used as mulch in gardens, not only for its nutrients but also for its aesthetic and aromatic appeal.

The scent profile of cocoa shell is distinctively warm, comforting, and reminiscent of chocolate. As it naturally retains the cocoa bean's inherent fragrances, it emits a subtle, sweet, and slightly nutty aroma. When used in gardens, particularly after a rain or when freshly mulched, the cocoa shell releases a rich, earthy chocolate scent that enhances the sensory experience of the environment. This aroma can be especially evocative, bringing to mind the cozy, gourmet allure of chocolate.

Cocoa shell's unique properties and delightful scent make it a popular choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of indulgence to their landscape while benefiting plant health.
