Cacao vs. Cocoa

First off its a fruit tree that grows
practically everywhere but West Africa
makes 70% of the Worlds Cocoa.

Its processed at a higher temperature
but both are the same legume from 
a pod berry like fruit.
Each bearing up to 50 seeds.

100% Cacao is 99.75 % by volume.

The tree is Theobroma Cacao and
is grown in rich environments.

Drinking cocoa everyday can 
reduce inflamation and reduce
blood pressure and help with
diabetes.

Its rich in several antioxidents
and flavanoids.

A cup of hot chocolate has
less caffiene than a cup of coffee.

Having a cup before bed helps 
with sleep.

Making it with a tsp of vanilla
whole milk and a few spoons of sugar.

Blend it with a banana or blueberries.

Cacao is not processed the same
as cocoa as that is processed at a
higher temperature.

Cocoa is a roasted a roasted process
Cacao is not.

Everyone thinks oreos are chocolate
which are instead wafers of cocoa.

Chocolate is the fermented bean..

So there are differences in the two,
heck i wouldnt have guessed it.
