Best Dark Chocolate Brands To Look Out For

Unlike sugar loaded usual chocolates, eating small amounts of dark chocolate can be good for your health. Chocolate comes from a plant, to be precise the bean of the cacao tree and, like certain teas, wine and many fruits and vegetables, it blusters a high concentration of antioxidant compounds called "flavonoids," that can help prevent heart diseases and these also have the capacity to prevent cancer.

To get maximum health benefits it's best to consume minimally processed chocolate in pure, dark form without add-ons. Look for a cacao (or cocoa) content of 70 percent, and be sure to watch the portion size. Although brands vary, you can assume that a one to one-and-a-half-ounce serving of plain dark chocolate contains about 200 calories. Time to discover the best dark chocolate brands.
