Have Swiss scientists made a chocolate breakthrough?

&gt; <i>But now food scientists in Switzerland have come up with a way to make chocolate using the entire cocoa fruit rather than just the beans - and without using sugar.</i><p>That&#x27;s &quot;without sugar&quot; in the same way that PoE devices &quot;don&#x27;t need power&quot;. They use the sugar from the fruit rather than supplementing additional one, as is the usual procedure.

&gt; They say traditional chocolate production, using only the beans, involves leaving the rest of the cocoa fruit – the size of a pumpkin and full of nutritious value - to rot in the fields.<p>Wouldn&#x27;t this deliver the exact nutrients needed for cocoa bean production back to the soil? Of does this practice invite harmful bacteria and diseases?

&gt; Zurich’s prestigious Federal Institute of Technology<p>In case anyone didn&#x27;t recognize the name: it&#x27;s more commonly known (at least in my experience) as &quot;ETH Zürich&quot;

This is just an ad for the Swiss chocolate industry. The only people quoted are being funded directly by chocolate manufacturers.

This is not new. In the UK, premium grocery cooperative Waitrose had a bar made with sugar from the pulp:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.waitrose.com&#x2F;ecom&#x2F;products&#x2F;no1-whole-fruit-chocolate&#x2F;514024-784488-784489" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.waitrose.com&#x2F;ecom&#x2F;products&#x2F;no1-whole-fruit-choco...</a>

&gt; ...the rest of the cocoa fruit – the size of a pumpkin...<p>Is this accurate? I had no idea.

I can&#x27;t buy this anywhere in Europe as far as I can tell.

&gt; Have Swiss scientists made a chocolate breakthrough?<p>No. They just use more sugar.

For those who don&#x27;t want to read, they distill the cacao juice, mix it with the pureed husk, and then use that instead of sugar in the chocolate. The process is more expensive than using sugar itself, which is the cheapest part of chocolate production.<p>Then there&#x27;s some romantic pontificating that this will somehow alleviate West Africa from modern day colonialism&#x2F;child slavery or lower the price of chocolate.<p>So no, Swiss scientists have not made a chocolate breakthrough.<p>Buy your chocolate from companies that don&#x27;t use child slavery, even if it&#x27;s more expensive.

If you mess with my chocolate, I will _cut_ you.<p>On a less psychotic note; products have sprung up recently that use the fruit, which I applaud. To be honest, a year ago I didn&#x27;t even know we weren&#x27;t using the fruit, and it seems nuts that we weren&#x27;t!
