Chocolate, or chocolate bean to be more exact was used by Aztecs as early as the year 400 but it was Columbus who first introduced this new world when he brought it back to Spain. Chocolate drink is quite popular in Europe in mid 1600, but as a solid chocolate was not introduced until 1847. Thirty years later, milk was added to create milk chocolate candy bar and enjoyed world wide since!
Making Chocolate
It is very be quite simple to make chocolate, but makes each one has its own secret recipes. First, the cocoa beans are roasted and ground up. Next add the sugar and the other ingredients (milk if you are making milk chocolate). Each manufacturer will have a different list of ingredients. The ingredients are blended together by a technique called Conching which uses a special machine. Finally, chocolate head heated up and then cooled again for the final results.
Chocolate Nutrition
Good quality chocolate is actually rather nutritious! It contains vitamins and minerals including calcium and magnesium. It also contains anti-oxidants that help to prevent cancer and heart disease. The benefits are found in almost all dark chocolate and only in high quality chocolate using 60% or more cocoa solids. Cheap chocolate is almost fat and sugar and little nutritional value.
Storing Chocolate
You should store chocolate in a cool, dry place. It will absorb flavors so make sure you wrap it tightly. You can freeze it for up to 6 months. Chocolate remain good for up to a year.
Health Benefits of Chocolate
Good high quality chocolate contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help to your health. Now IÂ'm not talking about the cheap candy bar Â-stuff but the high quality gourmet chocolate with 60% or more than chocolate solids. Chocolate contains contains calcium, iron, potassium and vitamins A, B1, C, D and E.
Including vitamin, high quality chocolate contains the highest amount of magnesium in natural foods. Magnesium deficiency is linked to diabetes, joint problems, hypertension and PMS.
One of the additional health benefits of chocolate has been found to contain catechins – some of the same antioxidants found in green tea. The catechins attack free radicals that damage cells and thought to lead to cancer and heart disease. So eat chocolate, can help to prevent heart disease and cancer?
Chocolate Trivia
– Chocolate is made from beans, the nib is the heart of the bean or what remains after they are roasted and shelled. Mr ground is called the wine are unsweetened and liquid when warm but firm when cooled. The bean is fat Cocoa butter and when pressed out, the powder stuff on the left chocolate powder.
– That white stuff you see sometimes in milk chocolate is called fat bloom, it will not affect the taste and you can still eat chocolate this!
– Chocolate is considered an aphrodisiac by Aztecs
– White chocolate is not really chocolate at all because it contains no chocolate wine! It still tastes pretty good, though is not it?
