Indulge and feel good!
Enjoy delicious Chocolate that’s good for you!
Well with a day to go until Valentine's its a perfect time to talk about chocolate. For a change this month I am not talking about buying it for a loved one, well actually, that's not strictly true.
The loved one is ourselves. Its more than just being indulgent, as this Beyond Dark is very very good for you.
Its goodness is helped by the way its made, normal chocolate production can destroy the antioxidants, but Beyond Dark use special methods and devote a lot of time and love to making this treat which contains more than three times the antioxidants found in other dark chocolate.
They roast the cocoa beans very slowly to develop their sumptuous flavour. Then they grind them – again very slowly – to form a paste of exceptional consistency.
Next, they add natural vanilla sourced from Madagascar.
Then stir for no less than 72 hours (inferior chocolate is only stirred for 6 hours).
This lengthy process is vital because it produces cocoa particles smaller than the tongue can detect.
The taste is what chocolate is all about though, for me they are a gorgeous smooth tasting dark chocolate, I love the little buttons that just melt on my tongue. Lovely little packets of good chocolate, they cant be improved on, well maybe a bigger bag!
The little chocolate bites are the perfect ‘pick me up’ snack and thanks to the quality of cocoa beans and unique production process contain the antioxidant equivalent of 25 oranges, 8 bananas or 5 apples in every 35 g pack.
Costing 95 pence the delicious drops are available in Sainsbury’s, Holland & Barrett and independent retailers – ideal for popping in your handbag or lunchbox! There are 189 kilocalories in a pack and they are suitable for vegetarians.
