Several companies in Europe, the U.S. and Asia have decided to change one of the processes of making chocolate and no longer roast the cacao beans. They insist that growers in Africa and South America leave them outdoors to dry naturally instead. The resulting product is called “raw” chocolate.
Producers claim that avoiding exposure to oven temperatures allows the preservation of nutrients such as iron, zinc, copper and vitamin C. It’s also claimed that uncooked cacao contains higher levels of antioxidants(抗氧化物)than roasted cacao used in most chocolate.
“Over the last 10 years, consumers have become more involved in their food and drink, ”says Kris McGowan, who runs the Raw Chocolate Company. “They care a lot more about its healthy qualities and chocolate is no exception.”
But Martin Schweizer, professor of biochemistry at HeriotWatt University, urges caution on describing raw chocolate as a super food until more research is carried out. “We have to look at this in more depth. The research is at a fairly early stage.”
There are concerns that not heating them to about 150℃ could mean an increase in bacteria. However, producers insist that, as no animal products are involved,
there is no greater risk than when dealing with vegetables such as carrots or lettuces.
Jennifer Earle, a writer on chocolate, is unconvinced by it on taste grounds. “It’ s the quality of the cacao that makes a difference, not whether the chocolate is‘raw’or not, ”she says.“And if you’re talking about health, I’d rather eat some topquality ordinary chocolate and have a plate of vegetables afterwards. ”
