Zokolat Chocolate

EVER WONDER how does a Virgin Version of Chocolate looks like?

It comes from Cacao Tree, and that picture is a Cacao Pod and inside it is Cacao Bean. *Complicated?

Cocoa/Cacao Bean goes through a series of process
Fermentation -> Roasting -> Grinding -> Form into Chocolate -> Into your Stomach. Do you know the Aztec use Cacao Bean as their Currency?
- 100 Beans can buy 1 Rabbit, 200 Beans can buy 1 Turkey- Right now 100 Beans cant really buy you a Rabbit *Inflation?

It's always confusing when it comes to Chocolate!
Don't Worry, Here's a list of Common Type of Chocolate

1) Dark Chocolate
- Contains Cocoa Solids, Cocoa Butter, Sugar but no Milk Solids

2) Bittersweet Chocolate
- The same as Dark Chocolate but contain way less Sugar
- Suitable for people who like it less sweet

3) Milk Chocolate
- Contains Cocoa Solids, Cocoa Butter, Sugar & Milk Solids
- Mildest & Most Popular

 4) White Chocolate
- Contains Cocoa Butter, Sugar & Milk Solids
- Doesn't contain Cocoa Solids so not really considered as Chocolate

Ever tried any Greasy, Waxy Chocolate before?
Ever wonder why some Chocolate are so Cheap while some are so Expensive?

2 Reasons Why:
1) The Quality of the Cacao Beans *It's like Ferrari Vs Kancil
- The quality determines the flavor

2) Cacao Butter
- it's extracted naturally from the Cacao Bean
- Premium Chocolate only uses Cacao Butter
- Where else, Less Premium Substitute with Hydrogenated Fat/Oil *to Cut Cost

Next time before purchasing any Chocolate, read the ingredient first

-Compare the ingredient of Premium Choc & the less Premium ones
-It should not have Vegetable Fat (aka Hydrogenated Fat) in the Premium Choc




Now I hope you know a bit more of your Beloved Ingredient/food!
