How Chocolate is made;

Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we will enter the amazing world of chocolate so we can understand exactly how chocolate is made.

Chocolate is taken from a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruits are the tree’s seeds. They are also known as coco beans.

Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that they are shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate makers work by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. The beans from  different places have different qualities and flavour. So they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix.

The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the meat nib of cacao bean from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are grinds to make liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter.

All seeds contain some amount of fat and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat. It is pure bitter chocolate.

Why are the coco beans roasted?

To whom it may concern:

               I am returning a shirt. I ordered it from your catalogue last month. I would like a full refund for this item. When I received it, all the buttons were missing. When I spoke to your customer service representative on the phone yesterday, he informed me that I could not return the item because it was on sale. When I ordered this shirt, however, I did not expect to pay for one without buttons. I am not returning the colour or size; I am returning it because it was damaged when I received it.

Named after one of her father’s favorite crocodiles, Bindi Sue Irwin first appeared in front of the cameras when she was only a few weeks old. Her father, Steve Irwin, was the star of the popular nature program, The Crocodile Hunter.

Irwin shared her parent’s passion for wildlife. Home-schooled, she grew up surrounded by the animals at the Australian Zoo which is owned and operated by her family.

She experienced a terrible loss in 2006 when her father died after being stung by a stingray while snorkeling on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. At Steve Irwin’s memorial service, held at the Australian Zoo, she spoke warmly of her father, calling him “her hero”.

In memory of her father, Irwin starred in the 2007 television documentary My Daddy the Crocodile Hunter. She continued to work on her new wildlife series for American television, Bindi: The Jungle Girl, which debuted that same year, with the young wildlife enthusiast educating and entertaining viewers with stories about animals. She rode an elephant, played with a python and introduced her audience to her pet rat, Candy. Irwin even sang and danced on the show with her back-up group, known as the Crocmen. Along with her mother, Irwin also appeared in the documentary series, Planet’s Best with Terri and Bindi, around time.

Though the show only lasted for 26 episodes, Bindi: The Jungle Girl found a second life on Australian television. The series aired there in 2009. Back in the states, Irwin has made appearances on such talk shows as  The Oprah Winfrey Show in recent years.
