White chocolate supremacy.

[Shodan 2.0]

I'm sick of people saying that white chocolate is not even real chocolate and hearing all those radicals who say they only accept pure 100% dark chocolate. I can't believe that people still judge chocolate based on color in 2022 and get away with it. We definitely need more diversity in the chocolate industry as there simply isn't enough white chocolate representation. Yeah, I'm a white chocolate supremacist, white chocolate matters and there has to be justice for white chocolate in this world.

White chocolate is too sweet, milk chocolate is alright, and dark chocolate is the best

Natural Chocolate Is Actually a Reddish Color
Chocolate didn’t turn brown until chemists got their hands on it.

To be honest I like all kinds of chocolate but dark chocolate is the tastiest. I enjoy the slight bitterness that these dark chocolates have. The only time I’ve genuinely enjoyed white chocolate was, when it was home made

[Kamiyama]

I like white chocolate and milk chocolate. I think dark chocolate is the worst kind.

Even orange chocolate is better than dark. But I'll eat any of them.

Anything white is bad for you, particular chocolate.

Facts. If it’s white it ain’t right. The good lord was a chocolatey therefore anything that’s pale must cease to exist

[Q-T_3.14.exe]

I am fueled by white chocolate. The other chocolates are just substitutes. I love all chocolate.

Why can’t I just buy the butter and eat that? Maybe throw some milk powder and chili powder in.

Five spice chocolate has potential; progress is being held back.

you can!

This isn't true, least in my experience. The way cacao is processed are the fruit is cut off the tree, cut open, seed pods are removed from the center, husked, then the cacao is generally fermented for a time. Historically this meant leaving it out in the sun, today it means fermentation heaps or being put in an oven and kept at a low temperature. From here it diverges. Either roasting, dutch process / alkali process, and or pressing into chocolate liquor (solids and butter are separated and recombined in the desired ratio, often 50/50 so it's like a paste).

I have raw (fermented, not roasted) cacao "nibs" (crushed seed bits), whole roasted seeds from Mexico, raw powder, and alkali processed powder. I suppose the nibs and whole "beans" are sort of reddish brown at the right angle and under the right light, but overall none of them are really prominently red. The alkali process is actually lighter brown. I'd have to take a look at powdered roasted beans, but don't recall it being reddish either.

I think what's happened and why modern cacao differs from historical accounts is primarily a difference in growing locations, soil composition and pH, and a selectivity in replanting and therefore gradual refinement and whittling down to only a few high producing cultivars, most chocolate comes from only 1 or 2 of these (hence witch's broom, etc). Originally there were several. Some wild varieties still exist and grow deeper in the rainforest, however. Soil composition in South America is very different than eg the Ivory Coast of Africa, this also contributes (some flowers are also like this). Final processing, so far as stripping the red colors maybe could be a factor, but in modern terms the red isn't really there to begin with. In the days of Montezuma they would also mix it in drinks with cinnamon, vanilla, and other things.

I see people trying 100% cacao chocolate and they are like OMG IT TASTES OF DIRT ITS HORRIBLE OMG NOOOOOO EWWW IT TASTES VILE ITS LIKE VOMIT OMG WHY DID I PUT THIS IN MY MOUTH ITS BITTER AND TASTES OF NOTHING BUT TEARS!

When in fact that is how chocolate is supposed to taste when its not laced with sugar

btw I love 100% REAL chocolate. Even 70% and 85% dark is not real chocolate because of the sugar, its closer to real chocolate sure but the addition of sugar makes it not pure chocolate.

I feel like this is some sort of conditioned response, like everyone grows up hearing it so they just make it so in their mind. I'm eating some cacao nibs right now, tastes fine imo. There have actually been studies done on this. The neurological response of sugar + chocolate is distinct from either one alone.

I do know what pure chocolate and cacao nibs have the highest content of polyphenols which are really good for you. The sugar just makes it more palatable. Its most likely the kick you get from sugar combined with feel good feeling from the polyphenols of the chocolate to give the improved neurological response.

sugar is bad
