CACAO TREES

WHERE DOES CHOCOLATE COME FROM ?

Cacao trees grow in warm countries. They produce large pods that look like rugby balls. Inside each pod, there are beans which produce cocoa solids and cocoa butter. The cocoa solids make chocolate and the cocoa butter is the  fat extracted from the cacao bean.

THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHOCOLATE :

Milk chocolate – milk is the main ingredient for this chocolate. It is sweet and light brown in color.

Dark chocolate – this type of chocolate is not so sweet. It’s dark brown in color and there is no milk.

White chocolate – this kind of chocolate is white and milk is the main ingredient. However, it does not contain any cocoa solids and so some people say that it is not real chocolate.
