Does this refer to dried cocoa beans or nibs, cocoa powder, hot cocoa (beverage), or all of these? I assume it cannot be used to mean cacao (the plant from which cocoa is produced). 71.66.97.228 21:14, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I don’t know what nibs are. The Navajo do not have cacao plants or cocoa beans, only the canned powder that can be found in stores. I sure that if cacao plants grew in Dinetah, they would use it for them, but the plant doesn’t grow there. I don’t know what people do with dried beans, so it is hard to say anything about it. Navajos only have the same powdered cocoa that all American supermarkets carry. Suffice it to say that it means cocoa, hot chocolate (per the definition line). —Stephen (Talk) 19:00, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
