Plain chocolate

Plain chocolate is a popular food ingredient that comes from the cocoa bean. Cocoa beans grow on trees in tropical regions like Africa, South America, and Asia. These beans are processed to create the smooth and rich plain chocolate that is used in many food products.

To make plain chocolate, cocoa beans are harvested, fermented, dried, roasted, and then ground into a paste called cocoa mass. The cocoa mass is then mixed with cocoa butter and sugar to create plain chocolate. This mixture is then tempered, cooled, and molded into the chocolate bars or chips that we see in stores.

Plain chocolate is often included in food labels because of its distinctive taste and its ability to enhance the flavour of various foods. It is commonly used in making chocolate desserts like brownies, cakes, and cookies. Plain chocolate can also be found in chocolate spreads, hot chocolate mixes, and certain beverages to give them a rich chocolatey taste.
