Dark Chocolate Health Benefits
Chocolate has been cultivated in the Americas for thousands of years. The cacao plant, where chocolate comes from, is native to Mexico. It’s popularity spread across the world with Spanish colonization. Today, most chocolate is grown in hot, humid climates in a combination of direct sunlight and shade from tropical forests. The neutral soil of each of the world’s growing regions is surprisingly different, which contributes to the unique taste of each area’s chocolate. The most recognized cacao-producing regions are in Central and South America and Africa.

Chocolate from Venezuela evokes dark, ripe fruit. Finally, Panama’s chocolate bears a classic cocoa flavor. Also unique from one growing area to the next is the way chocolate is consumed. Rather than processed chocolate bars, many cacao-producing countries enjoy chocolate in various hot and cold drink forms.
Concerns about consuming chocolate
Some cacao producers have been found guilty of human rights abuses such as child labor. This has been found particularly in West Africa, where the majority of the United States’ largest chocolate makers - Hershey’s, Nestle, and M&M/Mars, still acquire their chocolate.
