I know we are all working on our New Year’s Resolutions but I came across this fun quiz on Chocolate. My knowledge of chocolate has grown exponentially as I have had the opportunity to spend some time with an enterprising young chocolatier, Jered Brown, who is going to soon open his own Chicago chocolatier shop called ChocolatBrown, I though I would share this with you.
Did you know that each year, Americans consume more than 12 pounds of chocolate per capita of chocolate? Or that cocoa beans boast large amounts of flavonoid and procyanidin, natural antioxidants that are believed to help prevent cancer, heart disease, and stroke.? I didn’t either. I guess there are redeeming benefits to chocolate!
