"Chocolate agar (CHOC) or chocolate blood agar (CBA) is a nonselective, enriched growth medium used for isolation of pathogenic bacteria. It is a variant of the blood agar plate, containing red blood cells that have been lysed by slowly heating to 80°C. Chocolate agar is used for growing fastidious respiratory bacteria, such as Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria meningitidis."
The agar is named for its color and contains no chocolate products.
:(
It smells about how you'd think it would.
Agree, although it looks kinda tasty.
Does blood agar taste like blood?
