National Chocolate Day 2025
In the realm of chocolate there are two primary varieties and innumerable sub varieties:You have your milk chocolates and your dark chocolates. I personally prefer the dark chocolate because I view it as being more beneficial to my health. My mother prefers the milk chocolate because she likes the flavor compared to the dark.
Today is National Chocolate Day.
 |
It is observed each October 28 in recognition of one of the most favored tastes in the world, that of chocolate.
This day celebrates all things chocolate.
Chocolate has been around for over 3000 years and originates in central America with an ancient civilization known as the Olmecs. They introduced it to the Mayans who in turn passed it to the Aztecs where it became shared with European explorers who brought it to Florida sometime in the mid 1600s.
At that time it was consumed as an unsweetened drink and was not sweet nor solid bars or pieces.
So regardless of whether your tastes are the sweet "dutch process" (milk) chocolate or the dark varieties chocolate remains a health food full of flavonoids and other good things for living people.
A happy National Chocolate Day to you !
