Everyone loves chocolate show me someone who says thay don't and I will show you a liar. Dark Chocolate is so delicious and good for you. Particularly with the dark varieties of coco. All of this just sounds so scrumptious.
Chocolate originates from beans, yes just like coffee. These Coco beans come from coco trees. It is thought that the process of turning the beans into chocolate originated three thousand years ago in the Americas. There are so many types of flavours and textures that chocolate is the King of all sweets.
Although dark chocolate is an acquired taste it remains the most popular amongst true cocoa lovers. The production of chocolate is almost synonymous with that of wine. The cocoa is harvested from the cocoa trees and then beat into a pulp. The pulp is then put into containers where it is fermented, much like the grapes used in making wine. After they are fermented the beans are laid out in the sun to dry, usually for 5-7 days. Once dried they are then shipped to a processing plant where the beans are cleaned of impurities and blended with other ingredients depending on what kind of chocolate is to be made.
Different chocolate types go through slightly different processes. Milk chocolate goes through a different process than dark chocolate for instance. Then once the desired taste has been achieved, the chocolate is stored and shipped to its final destination.
Dark chocolate as mentioned before is not only a tasty treat it can be beneficial to different body systems. It has been suggested in medical studies that dark chocolate is particularly good for circulatory health. There have been modest reductions in blood pressure reported by people who regularly ingest dark chocolate products. It has also been shown to reduce bad cholesterol and prevent heart attacks.
One thing to keep in mind if you are interested in the health benefits of dark chocolate is to get the right kind of chocolate. You need to be sure that it is manufactured with no harmful additives that take away from the health benefits. But once you find the right chocolate you will be happy that there is also another great benefit to dark chocolate. It has been known to be an aphrodisiac! Desert that is healthy and sex!
