I'd definitely recommend it, if you're pregnant and needing some extra energy, as I went through dark chocolate cravings with all my children, through pregnancy, as well as special packets of Afghan biscuits that I don't see being sold in stores anymore.
They're supposed to be rich in a whole lot of minerals with benefits to your health i.e. check out the health benefits too on google.
In Samoa, the cacao bean was introduced as it isn't native but grows well in the tropical climate in Samoa but we definitely enjoy drinking it unadulterated after roasting the beans and pounding the beans out then diluting with hot water with added milk and sugar to taste.
I'd also recently heard that there's going to be an increase in the cost of chocolates and chocolate based products with global warming ruining many crops on the continent of Africa so other sources are being sort such as Samoa for cacao beans whence chocolate is made.
Whittaker chocolates are sort out when going overseas too as when we were in Australia in Melbourne, last year, we were told that they were well rated by Australians more than the Cadbury chocolates brand that left NZ for Australian production (I think it's cheaper to produce there).
So if you're game, give it a go, you'll certainly enjoy it...
