HEALTH BENEFITS: HIGH COCOA CONTENT FOR A HIGH ANTIOXIDANT CONTENT!
Certified organic, vegan, wheat and gluten free, 70% dark chocolate is rich in flavor, which is a good thing! The higher the percentage of chocolate, the more it retains its antioxidant content, and the more cocoa it contains (the beans from which chocolate is made). Chocolates with a percentage below 70% have been roasted or processed for too long, so they have lost most of their nutritional components, in an attempt to give the chocolate a less pronounced taste. Dark chocolate helps lower cholesterol levels in order to keep the heart healthy. It also contains flavonoids, a strong group of antioxidants known as polyphenols, which help prevent high blood pressure, heart disease and blood clots.
CULINARY TIP: MINT DELIGHT!
Add your dark chocolate drops to your granola or backpacker mixes to increase nutrient and energy intake. For a sweeter twist, use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe to create a snap cookie recipe! Do you like the mixture of mint and chocolate? Add mint extract (or peppermint) or even crushed candy canes to chip cookie dough to create this delicious combination! The sweet and floral mint pairs well with the rich flavor of dark chocolate, for an irresistible cookie! Do the same with your brownies! Break your chocolate drops into large pieces and sprinkle them in your brownies or other pastries.
ABOUT CHOCOLATE: DID YOU KNOW?
You may not be able to get yourself prescribed a chocolate bar twice a day, but research has shown that dark chocolate contains almost the same amount of serotonin as many antidepressant medications!
SAFE STORAGE: FRESHNESS GUARANTEED!
Store them in a cool, dry place for up to 18 months.
