What it is
Organic 70% dark chocolate is made from cacao beans that are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The beans are fermented, dried, roasted, and ground into a paste called chocolate liquor. This liquor is then mixed with sugar and sometimes other ingredients, with at least 70% of the final product being cacao-derived solids and cocoa butter.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dark chocolate as a primary flavor ingredient in a wide variety of products. It provides a rich, slightly bitter taste and contributes to the texture and color of foods like candy bars, baked goods, and desserts.
Health notes
Dark chocolate contains flavanols, which are plant compounds that may have antioxidant properties. Some research suggests these compounds might support heart health, but more studies are needed. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates chocolate and cocoa products to ensure safety. International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated cocoa and chocolate ingredients.
Allergen info
Dark chocolate 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.
