Cocoa powder is ground from cocoa beans, while coffee powder is developed from coffee beans. Although they are very similar, they don't grow from the same kind of trees.

2. Different places of origin

Cocoa trees come from the south-central United States and are generally only suitable for growing in tropical areas around the world. They are also planted in China, Hainan and Yunnan. But coffee trees generally come from countries with high mountain terrain between the Tropic of Cancer. So the growing places of the two are worlds apart.

3. Different growth conditions:

Cocoa trees like to be produced in areas with high humidity, fertile soil and high temperature, so even if they are planted artificially, they should be selected in coastal areas or valleys, because the requirements for growth conditions are very strict. Coffee beans are only suitable for growing in tropical or subtropical regions.

Extended data:

The effect of drinking coffee:

1, reducing cancer risk

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology found that drinking coffee every day can reduce the risk of primary liver cancer (the most common type of liver cancer) by 40%. Other studies have shown that drinking coffee regularly can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in women.

2. Protect the cardiovascular system

After studying 25,000 subjects, Korean researchers found that people who drink 3 to 5 cups of coffee a day (about 200 ml per cup) have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. A study by the National Cancer Research Center of Japan shows that people who drink 1 cup of coffee every day have a lower risk of death from stroke than those who don't drink coffee.

Step 3 Enhance memory

Moderate intake of caffeine is beneficial to both short-term memory and long-term memory, which helps to prevent cognitive decline.
