Cocoa beans are found in the light yellow pods of the evergreen tropical tree, the cocoa palm. It originates from Central and South America and grows in the regions around the Equator. The name of the Amazonian tree Theobroma cacao translates to "food of the gods". The cocoa beans themselves are about 3-5 cm large, deep brown with a characteristic cocoa flavor, naturally bitter. Favorite of connoisseurs of natural chocolate. Although small in size, they are full of an impressive amount of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Cocoa has long been known as an invigorating and toning food, as well as a natural antioxidant. It is no coincidence that chocolate is attributed with mood-improving properties, which we again owe to cocoa. Cocoa contains: theobromine (a caffeine-like substance), minerals (of which magnesium is the most prominent), fiber, antioxidants (flavonoids, polyphenols), vitamins, amino acids, and healthy fats. Cocoa also stimulates the synthesis of the hormone of happiness, which contributes to its fame as an antidepressant. Cocoa beans have a beneficial effect on physical and mental fatigue, and stimulate metabolism. This makes them a great addition to weight loss regimens.
