Chocolate is made from the cocoa bean plant. Roasted cocoa kernels (seeds) are pressed between hot rollers to make bitter chocolate. Squeezing the fat (cocoa butter) from bitter chocolate and powdering the rest is how cocoa powder is made. Bitter chocolate is turned into sweet chocolate by adding sugar and vanilla. Sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids make up white chocolate.
The most prevalent uses for cocoa are for heart disease and high blood pressure.
