What it is
Dark chocolate is made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar. The cocoa solids come from roasted cocoa beans, which are ground into a paste. This paste is then mixed with cocoa butter and sugar, and sometimes other ingredients, before being tempered and molded into bars or other shapes.
Why it's used
Dark chocolate is primarily used for its rich, complex flavor in a wide variety of foods. It is a popular ingredient in confectionery, baked goods like cakes and cookies, and as a coating for fruits and nuts. Manufacturers use it to add a distinct chocolate taste and aroma.
Health notes
Dark chocolate contains flavanols, which are plant compounds that may have antioxidant properties. Some research suggests these compounds might benefit heart health, but evidence is mixed and more studies are needed. The FDA has not set specific guidelines for dark chocolate consumption. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, but have not set specific limits for flavanol intake from dark chocolate. High intake of dark chocolate can contribute to increased calorie and sugar consumption.
Allergen info
Dark chocolate itself is not a major allergen. However, it may be manufactured in facilities that also process milk, soy, or tree nuts, leading to potential cross-contamination. Check product labels for specific allergen warnings.
