 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT CHOCOLATE

 Chocolates are sweet and people loves to eat chocolates. Chocolate is a food made from cocoa beans. It is used in many desserts like pudding, ice creams, candy, cakes and Easter eggs. It can be in a form of solid like candy bar or it can be in a form of liquid like hot chocolate. There are mainly three types of chocolates: White chocolate, Milk chocolate and Dark chocolate.

Milk chocolate is sweet, but not as sweet as white chocolate, as it has some cocoa.

Dark chocolate is the least sweet and has the strongest chocolate flavor.

So...you're curious to learn more about chocolates. Here are:

Some interesting facts about chocolates: 


1. Chocolate is a fruit... the name of the tree that produce chocolate is Theobroma. The cocoa trees produce cacao pods that are also known as the 'Leguminous Fruit'. The farmers then harvest this fruit, remove the beans and ferment them before roasting and grinding the nibs into what we know to be chocolate.
2. The average Theobroma cacao tree produces 2500 beans each season. That's about 6.25lbs (or 2838g) of chocolate.. or 33 of our big chocolate bars.

3. Farmers have to wait 4-5 years before the Theobroma cacao tree is mature enough to yield fruit (aka chocolate).

4. Chocolate wasn't always solid, or sweet.. Until 1847, chocolate was a delicacy enjoyed in bitter liquid form. The British chocolate company Fry and Sons introduced the concept of "eating chocolate" after combining cocoa butter, sugar, and chocolate liquor. This concoction was more grainy than smooth but was still enjoyed by many.

5. White chocolate isn't really chocolate...because it doesn't contain any cacao solids or cacao liquor. This sweet treat is made from a blend of cocoa butter,  vanilla, and sugar. 


6. Chocolate is good for your teeth.. it has an antibacterial effect on the mouth, as eating pure cocoa has been shown to prevent tooth decay. 

7. 70% of the world's chocolate supply comes from West Africa (Ivory Coast). Beans grown in this region  have a more muted flavor profile which makes them perfect for coating commercial candy bars.

8. The Mayans and Aztecs used cacao beans as currency in a barter system for food and clothing in 1900 B.C.

9  The number of chocolate flavors available across the globe.. it is said that chocolates have more than 500 flavors  available.

10 Chocolate = Happiness! Not only does it taste great but chocolate also make you happy because it releases endorphins when you eat it.

 HISTORY OF KITKAT   Rowntree's, a confectionery manufacturer located in York, United Kingdom, patented the terms "Kit Cat" and "Kit Kat" in 1935 , and the "Kit Kat" brand was born. The original Kit Kat appeared in the 1920s when Rowntree developed a brand of boxed chocolates called "Kit Cat", despite the names not being used at the time. This trend lasted until the 1930s, when Rowntree's concentrated on its "Black Magic" and "Dairy Box" trademarks. The "Kit Cat" brand suffered as a result of the advertising of competing items and was eventually phased out. The initial four-finger bar was created after a worker at Rowntree's York Factory suggested a snack that "a man could take to work in his pack".  The bar was first offered in London and throughout Southern England on August 29, 1935 , under the name "Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp" . In 1937, the product's official name was c...

HISTORY OF HERSHEY BAR   The Hershey Bar is The Hershey Company's trademark candy bar, founded by Milton Hershey of Pennsylvania. The initial form was a square of milk chocolate. Hershey's milk chocolate candy bar was first introduced in 1900, followed by other Hershey's bars like Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds in 1908. Milton Snavely Hershey, who aspired to make a new sort of caramel in the late 1880, invented the procedure for making Hershey's chocolate. Milton had previously learned how to make a soft caramel with milk while working at a candy shop, and he thought it was superior to the competition. As caramel reached its zenith and became oversaturated, Milton Hershey looked for a new major hit product in the snack and candy business. He discovered that chocolate was popular among Europeans, and Swiss chocolate with a lot of milk seemed to be especially popular among the many chocolate goods.
