What it is

Unsweetened chocolate sugar refers to a mixture of unsweetened chocolate and sugar. Unsweetened chocolate, also known as chocolate liquor or cocoa mass, is made by grinding roasted cocoa beans into a paste, which contains both cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Sugar is a crystalline carbohydrate, typically derived from sugarcane or sugar beets.

Why it's used

This combination is used to provide both intense chocolate flavor and sweetness to food products. It serves as a foundational ingredient in various chocolate confections, baked goods, desserts, and beverages.

Health notes

Sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Excessive intake of added sugars, including those found in products containing "Unsweetened Chocolate Sugar," can contribute to health concerns such as dental cavities and weight gain. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. Unsweetened chocolate itself contains beneficial compounds like antioxidants but is also high in fat. JECFA has not set an acceptable daily intake for sugar or unsweetened chocolate as they are considered basic food ingredients rather than additives.
