THE STORY OF CHOCOLATE

We eat an average of 9 kilograms of chocolate per person per year. That's 180 chocolate bars each!

This book is written about story of chocolate. It's story from the past to the present. Do you know cacao trees flowers? The trees blossom with white and pink flowers. In the past, chocolate was drunk as a beverage mixed with water. Chocolate had a high popularity among rich people and they thought chocolate is good for health and money grows on cacao trees. In 1840s, chocolate company in England made the first solid chocolate for eating. By now we cannot do without chocolate.
I don't like chocolate very much but I thought let's read this book because I might like it after reading. I was in total ignorance of the chocolate but I could know a little about it after reading. I think it's good to read for both people like it and people dislike it. Let's know about chocolate everyone eating!!

The book series is DK readers. (167 words)
