     Actress Anu Aggarwal says that chocolate has not only always been her favourite, but the entire world absolutely adores chocolate. This World Chocolate Day on 7th July, the actress says that the emotion of love is defined by chocolate.

   “Some like it dark and bitter, others smooth and sweet, but my flavour preference has me like it moisty, dark. The cacao bean, which is responsible for that unmistakably rich flavour we know and love so well, is native to Mexico as well as South- and Central America and today came to Europe in the 1500s. Also, especially during Valentine’s week, chocolate is the food of love,” she says.

       She adds, “I love milk chocolate as much as the next girl, but there’s said to be something so sinful about dark chocolate that works perfectly in desserts. I also bake cakes. My favourite dessert is Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake.” 

    In fact, the actress says that dark chocolate is great for your health as well. “Dark chocolate allows for notes of bitterness that balances the sweetness out. Plus, it is loaded with nutrients, and some people even claim it can improve your health. It’s got a great taste and lifts one’s ‘feel-good’ chemicals in your body, it has tons of health benefits. Although chocolates are recognised as fattening, amazingly they can also aid weight loss and help maintain weight if consumed moderately,” she says.
