Before, I despise the taste of dark chocolate. Since I am fond of sweet tasting ones, I am always on the lookout for sweet and mouth watering brands of chocolate.
A shift of my liking and appreciation to dark chocolate started when I tasted a homemade tablea. The chocolate being used as the main ingredient of tablea comes from a locally grown cacao tree. The 100% pure tablea is usually added to a hot water for a chocolate drink.
A pure tablea tastes bitter when eaten raw. Some folks in the province added muscovado and ground peanuts in order to minimize the bitter taste. Since then, whenever possible, I always order this stuff and bring it to Manila.
During the time of want and tablea is not available, my only recourse is to visit a nearby mall and look for any available dark chocolate. And just like what experts used to say, dark chocolates are good for the heart. So here I am, enjoying my take for a healthier life.
