Chocolate

food · sweet treat · cocoa

Made from cocoa beans. Chocolate starts with cocoa beans that grow inside big, bumpy pods on cocoa trees. The beans are roasted and ground up to create the chocolate we love.

Three different forms. Chocolate can be a liquid (like hot chocolate), a solid bar you can hold, or a thick paste. This makes it super useful for baking, cooking, and just enjoying as a snack.

Flavors other foods. Chocolate doesn't just stand alone, it's mixed into cakes, cookies, ice cream, and tons of other desserts to make them taste amazing.

Comes from nature. All chocolate comes from cocoa beans, which are a natural product from cocoa plants. It's one of the few sweet treats that starts from a real plant!
