What makes milk chocolate different from dark chocolate? All chocolate is derived from the seeds (beans) of the cacao tree, Theobroma cacao, native to the American tropics.5 The heart of the beans, that are called “nibs”6, are contained in footlong pods and are additionally protected by individual outer shells.7 When finely ground, nibs become “chocolate liquor”, consisting of both cocoa solids and cocoa butter, which are separable. Proportions of these constituents used in chocolate products can be important to the consumer (one may be more or less costly than another). These proportions also affect flavor.

There are also standards for breakfast cocoa, sweet chocolate, semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, milk chocolate, skim-milk chocolate, and so on [10; 84-85].sentences “1”, “5”, “6”, “7” and “10” are the examples of the Present Indefinite form of the Passive Voice; they consist of the auxiliary verbs “to be” in the Present Indefinite tense and the Participle II.Passive Voice is used in the sentences “2”, “3” in the Present Indefinite with the modal verb “can” to express possibility in the present and prediction and suggestion in the future accordingly.
