I’m pretty sure the heavy metals are introduced from the soils in certain regions, maybe most regions, where cacao is grown.
I think you may have applied a little unnecessary pedantry. In many languages there is only one word used to describe the tree and the finished product, and that’s most of the time enough to figure out what people are talking about in context.
- hbarka 3y agoAmong nutritionists and cooks, there is a big distinction. There’s cacao powder and there’s cocoa powder. There’s also a big difference between cocoa versus chocolate, which is really milk chocolate. The real question is which soils contain the pollutants. Is there a statistical significance among cacao trees grown in the Amazon region versus African region, for example, and why.
- ses1984 3y agoOk, but it’s pretty obvious to anyone reading that cocoa plant and cacao plant refer to the same thing. And if the only difference between cocoa powder and cacao powder is the heat used in processing, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t change the heavy metal content, so it’s irrelevant. It’s funny your make such a big deal out of this and then say something like “chocolate is really milk chocolate.”
