Cacao seedling help

My cacao seedlings are hanging onto their seed casings. Do I leave them be or cut them off (and if so, what's the recommended approach?)? Thanks!

I would leave it. They'll fall off in due time

That’s exactly how they’re supposed to look.

They absorb nutrients from the casing for a while, my endosperm didn’t fall off until a year later
