That lovely chocolate that many of us are fond of can leave behind cocoa husks, which are currently just waste products from the harvesting of cocoa. How about putting those husks to good use as dietary fiber?

Researchers say that cocoa husks could be used for those who like to eat low-calorie meals, as the husks contain both soluble and insoluble fiber -- as well as being high in antioxidants.

As manufacturers continue to find ways to harvest the byproducts of harvesting certain foods (to create even more foods), this one sounds like it's pretty feasible, yes?
