Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we‟ll
enter the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you‟re eating.
Chocolates stars with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial
regions, especially in places such as south America, Africa, and Indonesia. The
cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the
tree‟s seed, also known as cocoa beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped
to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out
the flavor. Different beans from different place have different qualities and flavor,
so they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next the roasted
beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nibs are blended. The blended
nibs are ground to make it a liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of
fat, and cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs from liquid. It‟s pure
bitter chocolate.
