Is Cacao (in dark chocolate packages) good for you?

Question by pup: Is Cacao (in packages) good for you?
I've heard that dark chocolate is good for you, because it contains healthy antioxidants. They are now seeling this thing called Cacao with it. Is this good for you too? If so, how? What is Cacao anyways?? Thanks for your help!

Cacoa is the bean that chocolate is made from.. I prefer Scharffenberger @ about 75%. I tried Lindt 85% and I found it too strong for my taste. Hershey also has some good chocolate. (They bought Scharffenberger this year) Buy two or three strengths and have a tasting. Cabernet Sauvignon goes well with chocolate)

The Cacao bars you see in the candy section are a variety of Hershey bars. Cacao itself (the product of the cacao tree) is the source of all chocolate.

yes, it is. dark chocolate is the best kind of chocolate. what it is is just ground cacao beans. for example, Lindt 70% dark chocolate is 30% cacao butter, and 70% cacao powder. it’s good for your heart
