Chocolate Source Material Can you guess the source of each of these extracts? You can choose from: Cadbury's Website, The Chocolate Society, Divine Fairtrade chocolate, BBC, Wikipedia, Dubble, Science for Kids, The Guardian, The Daily Mirror
Chocolate With approximately 30mg of caffeine in an average chocolate bar, it seems that a KitKat is really the only tasty way to put two fingers up to tiredness.
Cocoa growers pooled resources to set up Kuapa Kokoo, a farmers' co-operative that would trade its own cocoa so it could get a better price on the market for the cocoa and could help them improve their lives.
Chocolate craving The love of chocolate goes beyond the call of sweetness. Chocolate can induce craving in a way that other sugary products like toffee or marshmallow don't. Chocolate makes us feel good, but can it really be addictive?
Cadbury has been synonymous with chocolate since 1824, when John Cadbury opened his first shop, establishing a flourishing dynasty that today provides the world with many of its favourite brands of chocolate.
Being a cocoa farmer isn’t as sweet as it sounds. There is no chocolate without cocoa, and although millions of chocolate bars are sold every day, cocoa farmers are some of the poorest people in the world and on average earn less than 50p per day Think about something you spent 50p on recently. A chocolate bar, a comic or a fizzy drink? In Ghana, 50p goes much further than it does in the UK because farmers will often grow their own food and there is less demand for consumer goods. Despite that, the average farming family finds it really hard to pay for vital things like medicines, clothes, and work tools..
Chocolate describes a number of raw and processed foods that originate from the tropical cacao tree. It is a common ingredient in many kinds of sweets, chocolate candy, ice creams, cookies, cakes, pies, and desserts. It is one of the most popular flavours in the world.
CHOCKY HORROR STICKY-fingered IT staff have sparked a £12million meltdown at Dairy Milk giant Cadbury. A new computer system designed to improve stock control ordered too much chocolate at the start of the year. This meant shops were flooded with Cadbury's product just as customers went on their traditional New Year diet.
The explorers Christopher Columbus and Hernando Cortez brought cocoa beans back to Europe early in the 1500s. Even then, no one knew quite what to do with the beans because the resulting drink tasted so bitter. Finally, Cortez had a brilliant idea: Add sugar!
In the 17th Century hot chocolate was made with a selection of spices and peppers to flavour the cocoa – Try it, experiment, it's good. The best cocoa comes from Criollo beans. These used to be the main source of cocoa but they now only represent 4% of world production. The Chocolate Society sells a bar made from pure Criollo beans. Chocolate contains phenylethylamine, an amino acid which has aphrodisiac properties and is also good for helping to ease a hangover.
