Fancy some chocolate in the raw?

Paris

"WANT to taste? Come on! It's a bit like the sashimi of chocolate," calls out raw chocolate maker Frederic Marr, beckoning the curious to his stall at Paris's annual chocolate extravaganza, the Salon du Chocolat.

Touted as a "super food" by some, raw chocolate is the latest trend in the world of chocolate. Proponents say it has health benefits because the cocoa beans used to make it are heated to much lower temperatures than for standard chocolate.
