The Case for Dark Chocolate

Chocolate lovers, rejoice! Your long-time guilty pleasure may not have to make you feel so guilty after all!

In fact some experts are putting dark chocolate up there with nutrition superstars such as blueberries and green tea!

Our beloved chocolate comes from the cacao beans of the cacao plant. These beans are harvested, fermented and dried. When the process is finished they are shipped away to be transformed into our favorite indulgent treat by roasting and adding other sweet flavors. But how can something so delicious be good for you too?

Well, it seems that recent research shows that the benefits of chocolate are large and far-reaching. Dark chocolate has been identified as a great source of cell-saving antioxidants, beneficial to your heart, helpful for regulating blood sugar, and of course a huge pick-me-up!

Clearly, if science says you should be indulging we are going to have to agree heartily! Here at my muesli you can add our delectable, bitter sweet 70% cocoa dark chocolate to your muesli and reap both the health benefits and the joy that dark chocolate brings you!
