Attention all chocolate lovers! Are you ready to truly enjoy your chocolate even more than ever? First the disturbing news about chocolate before we get to the good part.
Everyone is aware of the overuse of pesticides. As a chocoholic, are you aware that the use of pesticides on usual cocoa is second only to the amount used on traditionally grown cotton? Just think as you put that piece of chocolate in your mouth, you can almost taste the organophosphate pesticides. So what is a chocolate addict suppose to do.
The good news is organic chocolate. I know your image of organic chocolate is yuck. Your yuck is farther from the truth. Organic cocoa which the chocolate comes from is free of all those pesticides. Your chocolate base is even cultivated on small plots under a shaded forest area that conserves the critical elements of the tropical forest. Image, not only are you eating preservative free chocolate but also helping saving the rain forest. Organic chocolate is good.
Well, news over the last couple of years has uncovered the health benefits of chocolate. We all know about the health properties of anti-oxidants but are you aware that chocolate contains further anti-oxidants than black tea or red wine? Just lately there has been great news that the anti-bacterial instruments in cocoa beans can counterbalance chocolate's high sugar level which means that organic chocolate is a better choice for the sweet tooth in not encouraging tooth decay over other sweet candies. Imagine that, organic chocolate is a health food!
