Key ingredients in all of our baked goods benefit greatly from pollinators! Chocolate is made from the dried, fermented seeds of cacao fruits which grow on the cacao tree, Theobroma cacao. The flowers of the cacao tree are tiny and complex and therefore need tiny pollinators to transfer their pollen so they can produce fruit. That’s where chocolate midges come in! Tiny flies in the family Ceratopogonidae, including the genus Forcipomyia, are known to be important pollinators of cacao. Other types of tiny flies, wasps, and ants have also been observed visiting cacao flowers, but more evidence is needed to know if they are successfully pollinating.
