At Easter, all excess chocolate is allowed, but some will be more beneficial to your health than others, and that really depends on which type of chocolate you hide in your garden. Black, milk, or white, your heart swings? Look at a healthy angle to choose the good. Be aware that in reality, only dark chocolate can legitimately bear the name 'chocolate'. The manufacture of the latter involves very precise specifications with a high cocoa content, which is not the case with its cousin in milk, which must contain only 25%, at least, of dry cocoa components, or White, which actually contains only cocoa butter.
This difference in composition therefore results in large nutritional differences. Thus, dark chocolate is undoubtedly the one that contains the least added sugars (21g per 100g), unlike white chocolate (57g per 100g) and milk chocolate (51g per 100g).
Watch out for industrial chocolates
In contrast, dark chocolate contains the most fat.
Despite this, it is the latter that offers the most benefits for your health. Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of cocoa on the body: rich in magnesium, iron, or potassium, it offers a protective effect against stroke, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes.
Be careful, however, about the origin of your dark chocolate. Industrial chocolate, sold in supermarkets, is certainly less expensive, but offers a poorer composition, in particular, because, to compensate for a lower cocoa content, which is quite expensive, manufacturers tend to add sugar. So prefer products sold in chocolate factories, which guarantee you a quality composition.
