In Hamburg, Germany I went to this place a few times where you can try chocolate throughout all these stages https://chocoversum.de/en/

Gonna be honest: if I saw that fruit and seeded it I wouldn’t think “roast those bitches up!”

They used to eat the pulp (which is naturally sweet) long before they figured out what roasting the seeds led to.
That helps the situation

Hershey's tastes terrible and uses slave labor.

Why is everything just slightly out of frame

Where's @repostbot when you need it?

At first I thought they were scraping out a termite queen. Oh well. Chocolate is better anyway.
BmoreDaviano
That's too much "from scratch"
Speedmetal05
Did you know real chocolate is bitter AF? That's why it needs some sugar to make edible.

My thoughts exactly!! How the fuck do humans figure these things out? If I mix these stuff together boil it, wack it, dry it and boil it.

Being that I live 5 miles from Hershey PA and smell chocolate some days. I’ll let them handle that.

We have a chocolate factory in Chicago that wafts the aroma of chocolate in the air for miles... instant chocolate cravings!
My work takes me to a Nissen Ramen factory and a Starbucks roasting plant. They are overpowering.

The white stuff is cacao pulp. It's usually allowed to liquefy and dribble off the seeds, but it can be eaten and has a citrus-y flavor.
SmashingBrickCastration
Yeah there is not way I'd eat something that looks like that.

I also tried it in the D.R. Had the best coffee and chocolate. They had us suck on the cocoa bean like hard candy. It wasn’t bad.

Ecuadorian here. It’s absolutely delicious. One of my favorite fruits

I always knew that Chocolate is healthy af.
confanity
To the degree that it's cocoa and not milkfat+sugar, yes. Generally, higher iron content means it's better for you. Aim for 10% per serving.
phosphene
Dude you're right. After seeing this, I see now it's practically a vegetable.
somethingawesomeandgreat
It’s a healthy fruit if not a vegetable
Poopoopeepeevagina
It is. It’s the sugar that isn’t
dorenavant
Added sugars and fat.
IHearVoicesWhenITalk
Pure chocolate has a very high fat content. Milk chocolate has less fat per unit but yeah, the load of sugar is terrible.
Cocoa butter is heart-healthy but many commercial brands of chocolate add unhealthy and/or cheap milk fats and oils. Ex. palm oil in Nutella
UlisesAlvarez
Not the commercial chocolate, the less milk the better
AimlessSavant
If you don't add a fuckton of sweeteners to it. You just end up with something akin to Dark Chocolate.
Chocolate is healthy, it's just full of calories.
lildumptruck
Found the American!
Actually, I would argue that American chocolate is much less healthy than chocolate sold in other markets.
And hehe, def. not American :)
And caffeine! The darker you go, the closer a piece of chocolate is to a cup of coffee.
I thought it was just theobromine. Holy crap, cocoa has a lot of caffeine as well.
It has a lot of both. As do green coffee beans.
SmokyDoggg
Chocolate is. But not the shitload of sugar they load it with. Buy cocoa powder and take a spoonful, that's how chocolate really tastes.
Sheldonian
Also the milk-like components, the things to improve the textrue and the things to dilute it and make it cheaper
waldo9254
Pffft. Fake news bro. I didn't see any sugar added in this. Salt yes but def zero sugar. :)
I’ve been off sugar since the holidays & recently made some protein bars w/ unsweetened chocolate (100% cacao). It tasted amazing by itself.
Yea it smells like chocolate, it looks like chocolate, but bro it tastes like a mouthful of instant coffee
itsthebarrelbombdotcom
Yup. Dark chocolate with a high % cacao, however, has less of the extra sugar and other crap. If you’re gonna eat chocolate, eat that.
icyanddicey
Fun fact. I've found a store with fair trade (and premium, whatever that means) dark chocolate costs less than a typical milk chocolate.
I love dark chocolate. To me it tastes kind of like coffee but in bars
I bet you like dark beer.
