To all the chocolate lovers out there - you don’t really need an excuse to eat it every day, right? Having a bar stashed somewhere in the kitchen is good enough for a reason. Happiness and chocolate have been closely associated as a “love food” since the Mesoamerican civilizations. Chocolate was considered a luxury commodity in those early times. If you have been trying to validate your sweet habit then you should know there is an alternative out there that can positively affect your health. Enter dark chocolate. High in cocoa percentage, dark chocolate is a beneficial part of your daily diet, heart and overall health. Yes, you can now feel good about your dark chocolate obsession. But, the better question is what is the limit before overindulgence countervails the positive effects.

What is the daily recommended amount of dark chocolate?

Dark chocolates are made from the seed of cocoa trees, one of the best sources of antioxidants on the planet. Advantages of eating it are widely known but suggestions for a solid number of grams are hard to come by. The type of dark chocolate you nibble on makes for an important factor. Reach for at least 70 percent cacao for the heart health benefits. Even though dark chocolate is considered a relatively healthy treat, one must bear in mind that it still packs plenty of calories. For example, a 100-gram bar of 85 percent dark chocolate, records around 600 calories, of that 450 comes from fat. The recommended dose is estimatedly 30-60g, experts say. You may consume too many calories if you indulge in anything beyond that. A 41 gram dark chocolate bar contains approximately 190 calories. A medium-size raw apple, on the other hand, amounts nearly 95 calories. Hence, don’t substitute healthy food items with this treat. Consider that you may be just consuming some extra calories even when sticking with the recommended amount.

The takeaway

Not only does chocolate taste awesome, it provides significant health benefits. So there is not much doubt about the powerful health advantages of cocoa but that doesn't imply that you go all out and eat lots of it every day. It is still laden with a good chunk of calories and fat, easy to overeat so be mindful of the daily intake. Enjoy just enough to feel satisfying so that it doesn't meddle with your healthy eating habits. Be aware that a lot of the store-bought stuff or chocolate on the market is not as healthy. Therefore, pick quality stuff only dark chocolate with 70% or higher cocoa content. Organic is always best so one must ensure that they are consuming chocolate with fewer and more natural ingredients.

How much caffeine is in a bar of 100% dark chocolate?

If you look at a large, 3.5-ounce bar of very dark chocolate (70-85% cocoa), you'll find around 80 milligrams of caffeine. A similar bar of plain milk chocolate averages 20 milligrams of caffeine. Hot cocoa only has about nine milligrams per eight-ounce cup.

legacychocolates.com - What's The Buzz? Caffeine Facts About Chocolate vs. Coffee

Yes, that tasty bit of chocolate you're about to eat does indeed contain caffeine. But if you're looking for a caffeine boost, you might want to put down that truffle and grab a cup of coffee instead. Experts state that a person would have to eat fourteen regular-sized (1.5-ounce) bars of milk chocolate to get the same amount of caffeine that you'd ingest in an eight-ounce cup of coffee. Dark chocolate does have more caffeine than milk chocolate, but not that much: you'd still have to eat four bars to get the same buzz as a regular cup of joe. Let's take a look at the caffeine in coffee: eight ounces of generic brewed coffee contains around 95 milligrams of caffeine. A sixteen-ounce cup of good coffee – the “grande” size in many coffee shops – has between 200 and 300 milligrams of the stimulant. Even the standard one-ounce shot of espresso from a coffee shop averages 75 milligrams of caffeine. That's a lot of buzz packed into a small volume. So what about chocolate? A one-ounce square of unsweetened baking chocolate contains 23 milligrams of caffeine. If you look at a large, 3.5-ounce bar of very dark chocolate (70-85% cocoa), you'll find around 80 milligrams of caffeine. A similar bar of plain milk chocolate averages 20 milligrams of caffeine. Hot cocoa only has about nine milligrams per eight-ounce cup. All of this means that yes, you may get a little pick-me-up from chocolate, but if you need a strong jolt to keep your eyes open, you're better off with some of our brewed coffee. Either way, stop by our coffee shop in downtown St Paul and test it out for yourself!
