Cocoa Facts

Cocoa by itself doesn't contain much sugar or fat.

It takes 5 years for a cocoa tree to produce its first seed pods.

Annual cocoa production is 3 million tons worldwide.

It takes 400 cocoa beans to make 1 pound of chocolate.

One ounce of semi-sweet dark chocolate has 20 milligrams of caffeine on average,
which is about the same as three ounces of tea.
