Hi, this is your host, Naomi. I’d like to share with you five unusual facts about chocolate.
Chocolate is the most popular candy dessert in the world and makes up a multi-billion dollar industry.
The origin of the word “chocolate” comes out of the Aztec and means “bitter water”.
Chocolate has a reputation for melting in your mouth because cacao butter melts at a temperature just below the human body temperature.
Although the discovery of chocolate was made in South America, most cocoa these days comes from West Africa.
Chocolate has also played a role in military history: Napoleon carried some with him on campaign, as did the American soldiers in World War Two.
