    How Chocolate is Made8

    Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we will enter the
    amazing world of chocolate so we can understand exactly we are eating.

    Chocolate starts a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions,
    especially in place such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree
    produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. In side the fruits are the tree’s
    seeds. They are also known as coco beans.

    Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that they are
    shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts processing by roasting
    the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have
    different qualities and flavour. So they are often shorted and blended to produce a
    distinctive mix.
    The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the
    meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The blended
    nibs are grounded to make it liquid. The liquid is called chocolate 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 they ground nibs from liquid. It is pure bitter
    chocolate.
