| Abstract: |
The article "Chocolate's dark heart" explores the potential of reviving wild cocoa to produce ethically sourced chocolate. Most chocolate currently comes from cocoa plants in West Africa, but the author, Rowan Jacobsen, delves into the world of wild cocoa in South and Central America. The story follows Jacobsen's journey into remote rainforests to discover ancient cocoa trees and the challenges of harvesting them. While the book opens up a new world of fantastical cocoa trees, it also highlights the difficulties of monetizing these plants and the need for ethical practices in the chocolate industry.
