Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this articles we’ll    enter the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what    you’re eating

            Chocolate starts 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 seeds, also known as cocoa beans.

            The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun an then   shipped to the chocolate maker. the chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans   to bring out the flavor. different beans from different places have different   qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blanded to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. winnowing removes the   meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. then, the nibs are blended. The   blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolates   liquor. it tastes bitter. all seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are   not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs   form liquid. it’s pure bitter chocolate.
