About After eight
After Eight is a brand of thin, square-shaped dark chocolate mints, first produced in the United Kingdom by Rowntree's in 1962. Typically enjoyed as an after-dinner treat, it combines a rich cocoa profile with a cool peppermint fondant in a product widely recognized as a classic confectionery. While the dark chocolate used contains flavonoids known for potential health benefits, it also has high amounts of sugar and saturated fats. A serving size typically provides calories from sugar and fats without substantial protein or fiber. It is not considered nutrient-dense but can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Health Benefits
- Dark chocolate may contain flavonoids, antioxidants that support cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation.
- Peppermint can facilitate digestive health, easing symptoms like indigestion or bloating due to its natural active compounds.
- Small servings of dark chocolate offer magnesium, which plays a role in nerve function and muscle health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve texture and flavor. Refrigeration is not necessary but may prevent melting in warm climates.
