In ancient India, cocoa powder was ground into powder and mixed with corn flour and Chili powder to make a slightly bitter and astringent daily food. By the14th century, Mexicans added condiments such as sugar and vanillin to cocoa, and made it into a delicious taste happily, which was the embryonic form of chocolate.

When tasting chocolate, we also pay attention to "color, fragrance and taste". Color. The raw material of chocolate is cocoa beans, and the natural color is brown. If cocoa is high in fat and dark in color, it is like a beautiful bitter chocolate; If the content of dairy products is relatively high, the color will be light, just like beautiful milk chocolate. However, remember one thing: good chocolate is shiny, and that high-quality chocolate can shine together under your control! Do not believe, open a beautiful box and try chocolate. Fragrant. Just like a good frozen wuding dragon, you should smell the fragrance before drinking it, and it will get into your nasal cavity at once, lingering and continuing until it is refreshing. So is chocolate. People who know about chocolate will never give up this fragrance, because it is already a kind of enjoyment before chocolate is imported.
