In the manufacture of chocolates, cocoa is commonly used. Owing to the high content of flavonoids, they have multiple health benefits that decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. Chocolates and cocoa are the two by-products of Theobroma cacao, the cocoa tree. Cocoa beans are extracted and then roasted, fermented, grounded and converted into a finite paste, which is then used for the production of cocoa or chocolates. Due to the process where the cocoa butter is extracted from it during processing, natural cocoa is darker in color and tastes bitter. Chocolates, on the other hand, undergo the same processing as chocolate.
