Dark chocolate is a rich, indulgent treat derived from cacao beans, with its origins rooted in ancient Mesoamerican cooking and later refined in European cuisine. Known for its deep, slightly bitter flavor, it typically contains a high percentage of cocoa solids, minimal sugar, and little to no milk compared to milk chocolate varieties. Dark chocolate is a natural source of antioxidants, including flavonoids, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. It also contains minerals like iron, magnesium, and zinc. While a small amount can offer health benefits, dark chocolate is calorie-dense and high in fat, so moderation is key. Opt for varieties with at least 70% cocoa content for maximum nutritional value. Its versatility makes it a favorite in desserts, beverages, and snacks around the world.
