About Chocolate crumble

Chocolate crumble is a dessert typically associated with European and American cuisines, combining sweet crumble topping with rich chocolate flavors. The dish often includes ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, and cocoa powder and may incorporate fruits or nuts depending on the recipe. Nutritionally, chocolate crumble is high in carbohydrates and fats due to its sugar and butter content, but the cocoa provides antioxidants like flavonoids and trace minerals such as magnesium and iron. While it is not a low-calorie food, moderate consumption can contribute to dietary enjoyment and provide small amounts of these nutrients.

Health Benefits

• Rich in antioxidants due to cocoa powder, which contains flavonoids that support heart health and reduce inflammation.
• Provides magnesium from cocoa, which contributes to muscle function, nerve health, and energy production.
• Offers small amounts of iron from cocoa, which supports oxygen transport in the blood.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten, milk, nuts (if included in recipe)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets

Not suitable for: Vegan diets (due to butter and milk-based ingredients), gluten-free diets (depending on flour used), nut-free diets (if nuts are included)

Selection and Storage

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat gently in the oven for best texture.
