Contrary to popular belief, not all types of dark chocolate are created equal.

We explain why, when choosing chocolate with 55% cocoa or 85% cocoa, it is better to choose the second option.

Which chocolate is the healthiest?

The higher the cocoa content, the higher the quality of the chocolate.

Extra dark chocolate (80% cocoa) does not contain molasses, cocoa mass, vegetable fats or cocoa butter substitutes.

In addition, this chocolate contains no or very little sugar (about 10 grams of sugar per 100 grams of product).

Chocolate with 55% cocoa already contains 50 grams of sugar per 100 grams of product.

In addition, many manufacturers, when producing such chocolate, replace natural cocoa products with cheap analogues in order to save money.
