Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolate is a rich confection made from roasted and ground cacao, commonly used as a snack, baking ingredient and in many global desserts and beverages. It is energy-dense but also provides a notable amount of fiber at 11g per 100g, which can help with fullness and digestion. Dark Chocolate is a source of minerals such as iron and copper and contains antioxidant polyphenols associated with heart-protective effects; however, it is relatively high in saturated fat, so it’s best enjoyed in moderate portions.
