Let’s study about this favourite gourmet of everyone without which no social event seems possible.
Chocolate has been used since time immemorial and its consumption dates back to pre biblical times .Earlier chocolate was mostly used as a beverage and was used as a drink along with wine and corn juice. It is only recently that it is being consumed in the form as it is today.
Earlier civilisations like the Aztec civilisation considered it to be so useful that cacao seeds were used as currency for some time. Chocolate was considered to have aphrodisiac qualities and for a long time scientist have been trying to understand its chemical composition. Of late scientists have got to know that chocolate contains a chemical known as anandamide and is the same anandamide as secreted by the brain. It’s a feel good chemical. This chemical when it is produced by the brain, stops processing after some time .However, when chocolates are consumed they boost this processing process. This way chocolates help in reducing uneasiness and depression. Chocolates do not contain the same chemicals as marijuana but it effect on the brain is same as marijuana.
Chocolates apart being used as a favourite gourmet are also being used for facials. Chocolate facials are said to be very beneficial and said to induce blood circulation. Apart from that chocolate is also used for waxing which is not only less painful but very beneficial also.
While chocolate is produced mostly in western Africa, German chocolates have also gained much popularity.
