What Is Xocolatl Chocolate
Chocolate.
So rich!
So divine!
So healthy? That depends.
Perhaps the Aztec's knew something we don't as they sat down for a nice hot xocolatl chocolate drink.
What is xocolatl you ask?
Glad you asked. Without research I didn't know the answer. With research I found out…
Xocolatl:
Pronounced [sho koh laht uhl], Xocolatl is from the Aztec language Nuahatl [nah waht uhl], meaning “bitter water”.
Further, I discovered that xocolatl comes from cacao beans grown in Chiapas, Mexico.
3 natural ingredients combine to make the end result of xocolatl. They are…
· Organic cacao mass
· Evaporated cane juice
· Organic cacao butter
"Organic" refers to the way agricultural products - including foods and fibers such as cotton - are grown and processed. The closer one gets to natural processes the greater the associated health of a product would most likely be.
According to Webster cacoa is the dried partly fermented fatty seeds of a South American evergreen tree that are used in making cocoa, chocolate, and cocoa butter. These seeds have been proven to be quite healthy when added to a person's diet.
That's the good news. Unfortunately most of your over the counter chocolate available on the market contains little to none of these ingredients.
Why?
Simple. Healthy chocolate is much more expensive than what they can afford to produce. Yes, money is once again the bottom line for poor health, sad to say.
Fortunately, that's not the end of the story today as there are companies like Xocai tm whose focus is to bring healthy chocolate to market through ways that will help people both with their health and with their finances.
What does all this mean?
Nothing more than you really are able to enjoy chocolate while improving your health at the same time. All you have to do is link up with companies like Xocai tm that specialize in xocolatl chocolate.
