This is all very interesting according to the OED cacao seed was the first spelling I found, but now I see there is an entry cocoa bean.What is the difference between a seed and a bean, why different spellings?

"There are debates as to whether this was simply a spelling or translation error from cacao to cocoa, or genuine confusion between cacao and coconuts."
