Divi-Divi

Description

An extract from the dried pods of the Divi-Divi tree used in the tanning and dyeing industries. Slow drying of pods allows fermentation to commence with production of red colouring matter which diminishes the value of the commodity.

High value pods are fleshy and white in colour. Those of dark colour with spots and blotches, have probably been damaged by moisture or picked in damp condition. This greatly reduces the value. Liable to infestation. Stow away from foodstuffs.
