Cacao is more commonly referred to as cocoa-a widely traded commodity that continues to be key to the economic and social development of some regions in the world like C?te d'Ivoire, Ghana, or Indonesia where most of the world's annual crop comes from. However, the importance of cocoa to contemporary society goes well beyond the areas where it is cultivated, mainly because without cocoa, there wouldn't be chocolate. Except for sugar or milk solids, cocoa contains all the components that make chocolate what it is, although not all in the right proportions. Cocoa butter, for example, makes up to 50% of the weight of dried cocoa beans and about 30% of regular dark chocolate (approx. 55% cocoa mass).
