Chocolate Recipes by the Number
Chocolate is a worldwide passion. Do you ever wonder how much chocolate is consumed around the globe?
Europe has always been renowned for its chocolate and when you look at consumption tables categorized by country, you know where to find exceptional chocolate.
Every year, the average Swiss person eats just under 20 lbs of chocolate. Neighboring Germany is also a nation of chocoholics with annual consumption per capita amounting to 17.4 lbs.
The Irish also have a sweet tooth and they come joint third with the United Kingdom with 16.3 lbs per year. The United States cannot compete with Europe in the chocolate consumption league and it comes in ninth overall – the average American eats about 9.5 lbs of chocolate each year. (Forbes).
Surprisingly, the United States falls way behind Switzerland and Germany. That’s a challenge that would be fun to take on.
Chocolate is a decadent indulgence, but there are health benefits. And while it hasn’t yet been dubbed a “health food,” researchers and studies are showing there are definitely health benefits to chocolate. WebMD says, “Chocolate and its main ingredient, cocoa, appear to reduce risk factors for heart disease. Flavanols in cocoa beans have antioxidant effects that reduce cell damage implicated in heart disease. Flavanols — which are more prevalent in dark chocolate than in milk chocolate — also help lower blood pressure and improve vascular function.”
So. On to chocolate recipes you can make at home!
