what modifications has cocoa gone through
It is therefore understandable how cocoa has become the primary ingredient in the billion dollar industry of chocolate. Cocoa butter and cocoa powder are the two largest products made from the beans. After being extracted from the inside of the fleshy cocoa fruits, they go through a process in which they are fermented and roasted. They are then pressed in a hydraulic machinery. The solid cocoa nibs turn into a viscose liquid, the cocoa butter. The remaining solids are processed into cocoa powder. Cocoa butter is the main ingredient in chocolate.
