If cocoa is a nut you could classify it with hazels, almonds, pine nuts etc.
But then someone could argue that if cocoa is a seed and eating seeds is paleo, then
why is wheat, rice and barley not paleo because they are just seeds of grass?
 
If you pick wheat pods and eat them raw are they paleo?
And since I brought up wheat. Is Buckwheat, which is not related to wheat and not a grass, paleo?
 
Gosh, I am getting confused. But I can say that since I have been eating what I thought was paleo again
since February I have lost 10 pounds and my blood pressure is way down to 100/700.
10 pounds in 5 months is not much, but they again every time I have taken weight off quickly it has gone back 
on almost as quickly.
