About Bar of dark chocolate
Dark chocolate, cherished worldwide, is a rich and indulgent treat often crafted from cacao beans sourced from regions like Central and South America, Africa, or Southeast Asia. A bar of dark chocolate typically contains a high percentage of cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and minimal added sugar, making it distinct from milk chocolate. With cacao content ranging from 70% to 90%, it delivers bold, bittersweet flavors. Nutritionally, dark chocolate is praised for its antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. It also provides minerals such as magnesium, iron, and zinc. However, moderation is key, as it contains calories and fats, including saturated fat. Its lower sugar content compared to other chocolate types makes it a healthier dessert option, appealing to those seeking more nutritious indulgences within their diet.
