When I was in Malaysia, I did went to the Cocoa plantation. I have the opportunity to taste the raw Cocoa fruits.
In actual facts the Raw Cocoa fruits in the shell are white color & sour taste. From what I understand. The seed is processed to make it Black/Dark brown color. It is interesting to note that the appended report saying that Once the Chocolate is processed, it loses all of its beneficial properties.
According to the "I-Medicine Sytra" any taste that is sour is good for cleansing such as blood, any taste that is bitter is good for the heart.
During my childhood day, I like to drink either Melo or Ovatine chocolate drinks. But my feeling is that both drinks would raise my "Heat Chi" .
So remember, if you happen to drink Chocolate drinks, do beware not to over the limit.

· Raw chocolate literally stimulates the happy, sexy hormones in the brain: anandamide (bliss chemical), arginine (nature's Viagra), serotonin (the anti-stress chemical), tryptophan (anti-depressant), and phenyl ethylamine (heightens focus).
· Cacao is guaranteed to get your blood flowing! It contains high levels of magnesium, which is needed for good heart performance and lowers blood pressure. Read More....
