Best Answer
  • Chocolate is made from cocoa beans, also known as cacao beans, which come from rainforests in West Africa, South and Central America (where the tree originated) and Southeast Asia and parts of Oceania.
  • The cacao beans are actually the seeds which grow within a pod-like fruit on the cacao tree.
  • Specific countries where cocoa beans are grown are Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Indonesia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Brazil and Ecuador.
  • It is estimated that chocolate farmers produce around 3.8 million tons of cocoa beans every year.
  • Chocolate contains antioxidants which may help prevent cancer or Heart disease. However, the extra dairy and sugar added to chocolate tends to negate these benefits.
