Chocolate originated from the fruit of the wild cocoa tree in the tropical rain forest of Central America. 1300 years ago, Maya Indians in Jockton made a drink called chocolate from roasted cocoa beans. In the early days, chocolate was a greasy drink. Because fried cocoa beans contain more than 50% fat, people began to add flour and other starch substances to drinks to reduce fat.

Extended data

Chocolate is a solid or semi-solid food made of cocoa butter, cocoa liquor and cocoa powder. Chocolate sold in the market is generally divided into three categories: dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate.

Dark chocolate is mostly brown or dark brown, with high cocoa content and low sugar content, so it has rich cocoa flavor and higher nutritional value than other chocolates. Milk chocolate adds milk to dark chocolate, which is slightly lighter in color, usually brown or light brown.

White chocolate, as the name implies, is white chocolate. Its ingredients do not contain cocoa powder, but only cocoa butter and milk, with high sugar content, so its sweetness is also high.
