Scientists Make a Super-Honey Using Cocoa Bean Waste For Chocolatey, Heart Healthy Jolt
Researchers in Brazil have made an exciting discovery by using ultrasonic waves to extract valuable polyphenolic nutrients from cocoa bean husks, particularly when combined with honey. This innovative approach not only enhances the nutritional content of honey but also addresses the issue of cocoa cultivation waste. While dark chocolate paired with honey is a delectable treat, the researchers are focusing on a more significant benefit: transforming the vast amounts of cocoa waste into nutrient-rich honey. Cocoa beans are well-known for their heart-healthy components, including polyphenols, theobromine, and caffeine. However, a large portion of the cocoa harvest, primarily the husks, is
