Dark Chocolate (85%+ Cocoa)

Dark Chocolate (85%+ Cocoa) is a concentrated form of chocolate made from roasted cocoa beans and is commonly used as a bitter, intense eating chocolate or in baking and confections. It’s prized in many cuisines and by chocolatiers for its deep cocoa flavour and minimal added sugar. Nutritionally, Dark Chocolate (85%+ Cocoa) is calorie-dense and high in fat, but it also provides a notable amount of fiber (11g per 100g) and minerals such as copper and manganese. It contains plant polyphenols that act as antioxidants, which are often linked with modest cardiovascular benefits, though it is also a source of saturated fat that is best enjoyed in moderation. Overall, this is a nutrient- and flavor-rich ingredient to use sparingly — choose higher-cocoa varieties like this when you want an intense chocolate flavor with less sugar, or swap to nibs or unsweetened cocoa in recipes to reduce added sugar while keeping cocoa character.Read more
