People in Switzerland eat more chocolate than anyone else in the world.

According to data from World Population Review, the average Swiss person eats nearly 9 kilograms of chocolate a year — almost twice as much as people in America.

So it might be no surprise that a Swiss university is doing research on chocolate — looking for ways to make it healthier and better for the planet!

Chocolate is made using cocoa beans, which grow in pods on the cacao tree. Each pod holds 20 to 60 seeds — or beans — that are covered in sweet white pulp.

Researchers from the university ETH Zurich have found a way to mix the pulp with part of the pod to make a sweet gel, which can be used instead of the powdered sugar that's usually added to cocoa beans when making chocolate.

Typical dark chocolate might be made of 30% to 40% powdered sugar. Testing different recipes, the researchers found they could make chocolate that was up to 20% gel and about as sweet as chocolate with 5% to 10% powdered sugar.

The new chocolate also had 20% more fiber and 30% less saturated fat than typical European dark chocolate — meaning it's healthier to eat.

Main study writer, Kim Mishra, told The Guardian that the new chocolate has a fruitier taste than typical dark chocolate — although it also tastes more acidic.

The researchers said using parts of the cocoa plant that are usually thrown away reduces waste, while using the new gel would let cocoa farmers get money not just from their beans, but by selling the pulp and pod parts needed for the gel as well.

It may be a while before we can try this chocolate for ourselves. However, ETH Zurich has already filed a patent for the recipe.

There is so much professional Business English vocabulary that we can use at work that originally came from sports! In this podcast we're talking about phrasal verbs, idioms, nouns and verbs that we can take from football, athletics, and the Olympic games, and use at work to improve the way that we communicate in English. So, if you want to express your ideas more clearly in meetings, explain your experience better in job interviews, or make your presentations sound a little more natural and native then hopefully you'll find this episode really useful. Also, if you're taking an IELTS test soon, either the general or academic test, then this is all great vocabulary to take into the exam with you. Especially for the speaking part of the test where informal, natural, and native vocabulary is encouraged!

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日はコーヒーの日、について話します。
10/1は国際コーヒーの日でした。

2015年から、世界共通で10/1がコーヒーの日になりました。今ではいろんな場所でコーヒーの日を紹介するイベントもあります。

10/1がコーヒーの日になったのは、10月がコーヒーの年度のはじまりだからだそうです。

みなさんはコーヒーは飲みますか？
ぼくはよく飲みます。

2年前までは、ぼくはコーヒーショップで働いていました。
ですので、毎日たくさんコーヒーを飲んでいました。

今もほぼ毎日、朝にコーヒーを飲みます。
今は自分で焙煎したコーヒーを淹れて飲みます。


砂糖などは何も入れずにブラックで飲みます。
最近は夏でもホットコーヒーを飲むことが多くなりましたが、前は夏は必ずアイスコーヒーを飲んでいました。


せっかくなので1つだけ、コーヒーの楽しみ方をシェアします。

ペアリング、という考え方があります。ワインなどと同じですね。

コーヒーの味によって食べるものを選ぶ、反対に食べ物に合わせてコーヒーを選ぶという考えです。

これは本当におもしろいです。

ぼくは食べ物を見る時、特にデザートですね、どんなコーヒーがあうかよく考えます。

フルーツ系のケーキならアフリカのコーヒー
チーズケーキならアジアのコーヒー
シフォンケーキなど軽いものならラテンアメリカのコーヒー

ペアリングという考えをシフト、コーヒーの楽しみ方が無限に広がります。

ぜひいろんなフードとコーヒーをペアリングしてみてください！


ぼくのレッスンでは、こういった、コーヒーの楽しみ方の話もすることができます！



ぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！
お待ちしています！

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
