Dark Chocolate

I don’t understand why so many “so called” chocolate lovers complain about the calories in chocolate, when all true chocoholics know that it is a vegetable. It comes from the cocoa bean, beans are veggies, ’nuff said. True- The fruits from the cacao tree which may be brownish-yellow to purple, and contain 20-40 seeds or cacao beans in a pink, sweet-sour pulp. Each pod generally produces 20 to 40 almond-shaped cacao beans. It takes 20 to 25 pods to get 2 pounds of cocoa. The cocoa bean brings us pleasure in so many delicious ways and just a piece or two gives a nice energy boost but unfornately does not count as a veggie.

Chocolate has flavonoids, a group of chemical compounds that are antioxidants and heart-protective. Other studies have shown that dark chocolate can lower blood pressure and improve people’s cholesterol profile. What’s new is that it identifies a new mechanism: chocolate appears to make blood less “sticky,” much the way aspirin does. Dark chocolate in moderate amounts can be good for you. But before you rush out and buy chocolates, realize that most commercially chocolate has been depleted of beneficial flavonoids.
