steaming cup of hot cocoa during these chilly fall days, you might be
pondering where chocolate comes from. Chocolate comes to us courtesy of the
cacao plant (pronounced ca-cow), Theobroma cacao. The name Theobroma is an
appropriate one as its translation is “food of the gods.” The plant is
believed to have originated in the Amazon area of South America at least 4,000
years ago. The Aztecs and other native groups made a bitter tasting drink from
the roasted beans. The Incas also used the seeds as currency. Most of today’s
commercial production is in eastern Brazil in South America and the Ivory
Coast and other countries of Africa. Why Real Chocolate (Cacao) is Good for
You Cacao has more antioxidant flavonoids than any food tested so far,
including blueberries, red wine, and black and green teas. In fact, it has up
to four times the quantity of antioxidants found in green tea. Health benefits
of these antioxidants include: -Promote cardiovascular health -Protect from
environmental and metabolic toxins -Help repair and resist damage caused by
free radicals. How To Use Cacao Beans & Nibs If you are using whole beans,
simply crunch them between your fingers to loosen and remove the peel. You can
use the beans whole or grind them in a spice mill/coffee grinder or food
processor. Then add them to smoothies, teas, desserts, raw food bars or any
dish that calls for the delicious flavor of chocolate. They are especially
good when used in recipes with our vanilla beans.
