Class 5a and 5b were at Manufaktura Czekolady. This is the magical world of chocolate! We took part at the workshops. We made chocolates bars. Each chocolate bar was unique. We tasted cocoa beans and drank hot chocolate. We watched the presentation ‘From the cocoa bean to the chocolate bar’. Now we know how the chocolate is produced.
Here are some interesting facts:
- Chocolate contains antioxidants, which protect human cells from damage and aging.
- Eating chocolate triggers the release of endorphins, known as the hormones of happiness.
- The cocoa contained in chocolate inhibits the growth of bacteria that produce acids which score dental enamel.
- By replacing high-calorie desserts with a small portion of good chocolate you can lose weight without giving up sweets.
- Chocolate is an excellent source of potassium, iron, phosphorus, zinc and copper.
