The tradition of chocolate eggs first became popular in Europe around the end of the 19th century. Today, 2.5 million Perugina eggs, the equivalent of 671 tons, are sold each season. Perugina offers three distinct varieties of its chocolate eggs for Easter: a dark chocolate Baci egg, a white chocolate Baci egg and a milk chocolate version, the Perugina egg. The Baci egg is named for Perugina’s most popular confection and includes four Baci inside each hollow egg. “Baci” is the Italian word for “kisses” and the iconic Baci confections are each wrapped in a special message of love written in five different languages and tucked into the foil wrapper.

Per this Article: "Angiogenesis is the body's ability to grow new capillary blood vessels. Faulty angiogenesis occurs when there is insufficient, excessive or abnormal growth of blood vessels. Li compiled a comprehensive list of naturally occurring dietary sources of anti-angiogenic substances. The list includes green tea, strawberries, oranges, lemons, apples, cherries, red grapes, bok choy, kale, ginseng, maitake mushrooms, turmeric, artichokes, pumpkin, parsley, garlic, tomato, olive oil and dark chocolate.." Another Study says "regular consumption of a chocolate rich in flavanols confers substantial photoprotection and can thus be effective at protecting human skin from harmful UV effects".
