The beauty of chocolate

I admit to having a minor chocolate addiction.  I like it in bikkies, in cakes, in drinkable form.  It's sweet, rich and melts in the mouth.  This is why I dislike it when people say how bad it is.  It's simple not true.


Cocoa powder and Cocoa butter contain traces of vitamins C, A, and D.  The fat contents contains a high amount of Vitamin E.  It also contains good amounts of iron, phosphorus and copper.  Even better, if it's made with milk, it contains protein, potassium, magnesium and calcium.


In addition to these nutritional values, chocolate is also high in antioxidants.  This, in my books, makes it a super-food.
