Holiday Season Indulgence: Cocoa


Don't feel guilty if you just can't say no to the cocoa. Cocoa has twice as many antioxidants as red wine and three times the amount of green tea. And to make yourself feel like you are giving back this holiday season, go for the organic and fair-trade brands =).

Factoid: If 10,000 of us switched from the conventional brands of hot chocolate to fair-trade ones, farmers will make $1,500 more on those beans

Factoid: In the 1500s, cocoa was often included in dowries when Spanish royalty married other Europeans.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
