IF you take the various grades. tech

French. the German and so on. and
take a piece of each and place them in
a pan Of water and allow them to dis
solve. any expert will tell you which is
the best chocolate. The better grades
will leave no sediment. The Others
will. This is explained by the fact
that in the cheaper grades the shell Is
ground up and used as a filler The
lighter the chocolate the better the
grade. The cheaper grades are dark
owing to the ground up shell.
