The Wonderful World of Chocolate
Introduction:
Yummy! That wonderful taste of chocolate! Everyone loves it. In fact, it is loved the world over and can be addictively good. But what do you really know about chocolate?
Did you know that chocolate is not one ingredient of itself? It is actually comprised of a number of raw and processed foods from the seeds of the cacao tree. Cacao has been cultivated for about three million years in Mexico, South America and Central America. It has been documented to have been used in about 1100 BC. Even the Aztecs and Mayan people have been known to have made chocolate beverages. They made what is known as xocot-atl, meaning ‘bitter water’, which is due to the seeds of the cacao tree having an intensely bitter taste which must be fermented to develop the real chocolate flavor.
The cacao seeds (or beans) are dried after fermentation. They are then cleaned and roasted and the shell is removed to produce the cacao nibs. This is then ground and liquefied which results in pure chocolate in the liquid form (or chocolate liquor). The chocolate liquor is then further processed into cocoa solids and cocoa butter.
There are different forms of chocolate which are made from the cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Pure, unsweetened chocolate is made of varying proportions of the cocoa solids and butter. Sweet chocolate (and semi-sweet chocolate) is made from a combination of the chocolate with sugar. That is what makes up most of the chocolate eaten in the world today. Milk chocolate is the sweetened chocolate combines with milk powder or condensed milk.
White chocolate is not really chocolate at all because it does not contain any cocoa solids. It is made from cocoa butter, sugar and milk so it is not considered to be true chocolate.
The reason that chocolate can be addictive is that it contains alkaloids (such as theobromine and phenethylamine) which can have physiological effects of the body. Eating chocolate can affect the serotonin levels in the brain. Chocolate can also have healthy effects, however. Some scientists claim that chocolate can lower blood pressure, but still caution that it should be eaten in moderation. It is also believed that it can substantially reduce the formation of free radicals acting as an antioxidant.
