Use For Cocoa Shell

shell, which is almost a waste product of the cocoa industry, has been found to possess at least a Quarter the vitamin D content of cod liver oil, according to the English medical journal Lancet.

Cocoa shell is now likely to be in demand as a means of increasing the value of the winter diet of Great Britain.

Experiments have shown that it is useful for cattle and for making foodstuffs. The part of vitamin D consumed by cows is conveyed to the milk. Thus butter made in winter from this milk will have a vitamin D content equal to that of sum mer butter.
