Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate contains a higher percentage of cocoa solids than other types of chocolate. In other words, it has more of the chocolate element in relation to the sugar and cocoa butter. In 2007, news of the health benefits of Dark Chocolate has been rising exponentially. It is recommended by many studies that you eat an ounce of Dark Chocolate per day. Most of the products we have here in our Dark Chocolate section are indlugent gifts - not the type of product that you would store next to your vitamins. But rest assured, the dark chocolate contained in these tasty treats is GOOD FOR YOU!

Deep Dark Chocolate Secrets

Is dark chocolate too good to be true? You probably have heard that dark chocolate is good for your health, but is it true? Yes it is. Here are some dark chocolate facts that you will be happy to read. We consider them to be "deep dark chocolate secrets." You don't have to keep these secrets, but be careful. If you tell your friends they may dig into your supply of dark chocolate!
  • Dark chocolate helps prevent heart disease.
  • Dark chocolate can contribute to lowering your blood pressure.
  • Dark chocolate can help in prevention of cancer due to a high level of flavonoids/antioxidants - a higher level than wine, berries, and green tea.
  • Dark chocolate is a valid source of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium.
  • Dark chocolate helps to generate seratonin in the brain, creating a healthy "feel good" sensation.
  • Dark chocolate does not cause acne or "zits." the milk content of other chocolates can cause acne, but not dark chocolate.
  • Dark chocolate is less likely to cause cavities than other candy because it melts more quickly in the mouth and the cocoa butter actually protects the teeth.
  • Dark chocolate flavonoids can help with your blood circulation in the same way that aspirin helps to reduce the likelihood of a blood clot.


The Cocoa Tree

The Cocoa Tree

Ahhh.... tis under the shade of the wonderful Cocoa Tree that so many of us (figuratively) rest our work weary heads, all the while dreaming of what sweet goodness it will soon produce.

If the above scenario actually came to pass, we would find ourselves in a hot, rainy environment on a small farm, probably near the equator. And many, many steps must come between a cocoa tree sapling and www.Chocolate.com's intense dark chocolate!

So let's just take the easy way, shall we? Drive yourself over to this Dark Chocolate category and you won't have to imagine. Let your fingers do the walking through such delights as the Dark Chocolate Classic Truffle. These addictive little monsters have a base of 70% Valhrona Grand Cru, and the last step is to roll them in cocoa powder. Um, the Cocoa Tree never looked better.

Consider these little beauties: our Peanut Butter Bonbons. These consist of creamy organic peanut butter and mini dark chocolate chips, and you can see that delicious dark chocolate shell.

Finally, if you're in the mood for the everything but the kitchen sink covered in dark chocolate, then the Dark Chocolate One Pound Family Assortment is waiting for you. Butter caramels, cherry cordials, soft center creams, meltaways, crisp covered nuts, pecan tootles and more are found here, and are covered in the finest pure dark chocolate.

Yes, that Cocoa Tree is pretty wonderful. And how awesome it is that so many are so adept at Growing the Cocoa Bean. Even Martha would say, "It's a good thing.

did you know
A 2005 study based at Tufts University in Medford, MA found that dark chocolate actually helps to lower blood pressure. In a controlled experiment comparing 20 different people, researchers found that dark chocolate was a significant factor in lowering blood pressure, while white chocolate was not. The key ingredient thought to cause this phenomenon is flavonoids.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.

How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.

If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
