CHOCOLATE DELIGHT
Become a Chocolate Expert
by Roland Duvall
No matter if it's enjoyed as creamy milk chocolate truffles, baked in a devilishly dark chocolate cake or even poured as hot cocoa, Americans on average consume almost 20 pounds (9 kilograms) of chocolate in a year. Theobroma Cacao is the Latin name for chocolate and means "Food of the Gods". As one of the most Sacred foods on the Planet, it has won the hearts of more people than any other food. There is a mystery to chocolate... its dark brown/purple color, its sensual texture, its potent bittersweet flavor, and complete nutritional profile has inspired everything from love and poetry to robust heart health and strength to people from across the continents.
