Chocolates are good for you. Send chocolates to Kolkata to surprise your grandpa.
Chocolates are not only a treat for your taste buds but also your mood. My grandpa, who is 97 years old, loves chocolate like anything. He craves for this very special gift every time I visit him. So this time like every year on his birthday I sent him chocolate bouquet. There are online shops that customized chocolate bouquet in Kolkata according to customer’s wish. Since it is one of the most popular sweets of all age you can send chocolates to Kolkata for any occasions like Christmas or birthdays. Chocolates are for all seasons and mood. As my grand pa says ‘it may possible to take a few of the guilt out of enjoying one of your favorite foods.’ It is said the ancient Mayans and Aztecs of the Americans experienced the first taste of chocolate. They drank it in the form of cacao or the chocolate bean, which was ground in hot water just like the hot chocolate we drink today. Though their cacao was rather bitter and had chilies in it. For those of us who hoard our chocolate candies, now it can be easily understood why the Mayans and the Aztecs used cacao beans as their currency. And now chocolates are everywhere and in every shapes and sizes, like candies, bars, after dinner mints, truffles etc. Hot, cold, solid, liquid over ice-cream or even over meat. A Mexican sauce known as ‘mole’ uses unsweetened chocolate in a sauce that is served over meat. The U.S is only the eighth largest consumer of chocolate where as Switzerland topped the list. Chocolate has been blamed for acne and tooth decay but research as found that it is innocent and pure of such evils. That must have made lots of people sigh in relief. Chocolate does has some healthy perks. But be careful, that does not mean you need to add a chocolate bar in your diet plan. Consuming the right kind of chocolate is necessary. Milk and white chocolate has quite a bit of sugar, fat and additional additives that gives chocolate a bad reputation. Eating the pure dark chocolate with over 70% cocoa is the right choice of chocolate to get benefited from. Dark chocolate is loaded with anti-oxidants that come from the flavinoids discovered in pure cocoa. These anti-oxidants prevent cancer, heart disease along with number of other illness. You are also consuming vitamins and minerals like iron, magnesium and vitamin B. While dairy can inhibit the effects of anti-oxidants, dark chocolate is created with little or no dairy and can be enjoyed by those with dairy allergies or sensitivities. Dark chocolate can make an excellent treat for diabetes or in low carb diet. But consuming the right types of chocolate in moderation can be a guilt free pleasure.
