NATIONAL CHOCOLATE DAY – October 28

NATIONAL CHOCOLATE DAY
National Chocolate Day, on October 28th, recognizes one of the world’s favorite tastes. While many specific chocolate related holidays exist throughout the year, National Chocolate Day celebrates all things chocolate.
As America’s favorite flavor, chocolate is well-deserving of its own day of honor. (Some sources designate July 7 or December 28 as Chocolate Day or International Chocolate Day.)​

How is chocolate made?
Chocolate comes from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Cacao has been cultivated for at least three millennia and grows in Mexico, Central America, and Northern South America. The earliest known documentation of using cacao seeds is from around 1100 BC.
Since cacao tree seeds have a very intense, bitter taste, they must be fermented to develop the flavor.​

​

Research has found that chocolate, when eaten in moderation, can lower blood pressure.​

HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalChocolateDay
Visit your favorite restaurant and indulge in a delicious chocolate dessert. Another idea is to host a chocolate tasting party. Invite friends to bring their best chocolate recipes to share. ​

Personally, I think every day should be chocolate day!

Haha, thanks for sharing this! I remember doing a research topic related to this back in high school, when I was part of a “Fair-trade” program. It’s pretty interesting to see how chocolate is made... even better to taste it!

To celebrate today, I went out and got a peanut butter Kit Kat.

You should have some Belgian chocolate. It's the best!

Ah, but the Swiss chocolate narrowly beats it.

I've tried to save some of my chocolate for Halloween, but I couldn't stand it! It's almost all gone 0.0
