About Schokolade

Schokolade, or chocolate, originates from the cacao tree, native to Central and South America, and has been a staple in various cuisines worldwide for centuries. It is crafted from fermented cacao beans and commonly used in desserts, beverages, or consumed as a standalone treat. Dark chocolate, in particular, is celebrated for its higher cacao content and lower sugar level compared to milk chocolate. Nutritionally, chocolate is calorie-dense, providing 535 kcal per 100 grams, and contains significant fat (31 g), carbohydrates (59 g), and some protein (7 g). It offers minerals such as calcium (200 mg) and iron (2.3 mg), though it is low in vitamins and dietary fiber (3 g). Its nutritional profile varies depending on cacao percentage and additional ingredients.

Health Benefits

• Rich in antioxidants, such as flavonoids, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation.

Common Questions About Schokolade Nutrition

Is Schokolade high in protein?

Schokolade typically contains around 7 grams of protein per 100 grams, which is relatively low compared to protein-rich foods like eggs or nuts. Its main macronutrient content comes from fats and carbs instead of protein.

Can I eat Schokolade on a keto diet?

Traditional Schokolade is not keto-friendly due to its high carbohydrate content (59 grams per 100 grams, including 48 grams of sugar). However, sugar-free or low-carb dark chocolate options specifically made for keto diets are available.

Does Schokolade have any health benefits or concerns?

Dark Schokolade, especially varieties with 70% or higher cocoa content, is rich in antioxidants, such as flavonoids, which may support heart health and improve blood flow. However, regular milk chocolate has high sugar and fat content, which can contribute to weight gain and increase the risk of chronic diseases if consumed excessively.

How much Schokolade should I eat per serving?

A reasonable serving size is around 20-30 grams (about 1-2 small squares), depending on your calorie and sugar intake goals. This allows you to enjoy Schokolade's taste while keeping calories and sugar consumption in check.

How does Schokolade compare to dark chocolate?

While traditional Schokolade (milk chocolate) contains more sugar and less cocoa, dark chocolate has higher cocoa content, fewer added sugars, and more antioxidants. Dark chocolate is generally considered healthier, especially varieties with 70% or more cocoa.
