CHOCOLATE!
🍫 The first thing you have to know is that there is a huge difference between CHOCOLATE and SWEET chocolate flavor! Most of us, for not having a "trained" palate, like the second one more! 🍫 Real chocolate is one with a high cocoa content and therefore: bitter! According to the rules, to be called "chocolate" it must contain at least 25% cocoa in the product, but do you know how much the overwhelming majority of the market has? around 5%
The chocolate you should look for needs to be made up of cocoa (dough, butter, paste, or cocoa powder) and if it has sugar, it must be one of the last ingredients (since they are presented according to the quantity in the product in descending order)! 🍫 The benefits of cocoa, especially the antioxidant factor (no food has more antioxidant properties than cocoa) are only guaranteed when it is present in most of the product! If you still don't have the taste for 85%, 90% or even 100% cocoa, remember that it is a matter of "training"! We have a habit of not accepting the taste of things! That's why we use so much salt and sweetener (not to mention sugar!), To "transform" the taste into something we like! That's a shot in the foot! Things like wine, beer, coffee, tea and chocolate are cool to appreciate for the taste they have and not for the modified taste! (Let me make it clear here that it IS NOT TO DRINK WINE AND BEER madly, I only mentioned it because they have naturally appreciated tastes without the need to sweeten!).
🍫 and remember: quantities are INDIVIDUAL! 🍫
