Dark chocolate, 70% and over, has proven health benefits. And one of the products mentioned in the link, theobromine, has been shown to improve the hardness of tooth enamel and reduce the risk of cavities.
Fortunately, a lot of high percentage dark chocolate is available here in France, so that’s good news.
And it goes well with my fav tipple to boot. Double
The 70% dark stuff has been my favourite for years. I can’t bear the wimpy, sugary milk chocolate stuff the Cadbury’s addicts rave about.
Many of the so called ‘bad things’ are good for you in moderation. Guinness and red wine spring to mind.
Plus it makes mega super Chocolate mousse ! 🍫
I love a cognac with a piece of chocolate!
I add it to some sauces too for additional flavour.
Now your talking Liz !
Bought a tablet of Lindt 99% cocoa chocolate today. Once you open the packet there are eating instructions (truly!), saying you break of a small piece and let it melt on the tongue. Me, I stuck it to the roof of my mouth and let it dissolve there. But before the eating instructions, and after you’ve opened the packet, it says to prepare yourself for the 99% chocolate by starting with 75% then 80% – too late, you’ve bought the 99% and opened it now!
Make tons of chocolate mousse at Christmas for Number One Son ! 🍫🍫🍫🍫
Sorry, still prefer Cadburys!
Two squares of dark whole nut every evening for me, good for me or not, can’t take the milk, too sickly for me!
