Go ahead and load up on chocolate this Valentine’s Day.
Quality chocolate is actually very good for us. Dark chocolate and cocoa are chock full of flavanols which can lower blood pressure and improve cognitive function. Here are the best brands from Good Housekeeping:
• Green and Black’s Dark Chocolate: A London-based company that produces high-quality bittersweet dark chocolate packed with 70% cocoa. Buy it at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.
• Forever Green’s 24 Karat Chocolate: Pure, organic chocolate made without waxes, fine sugar, dairy products, or artificial flavors. They don’t use heat to compact their cocoa so the chocolate maintains its peak nutritional value. Buy it at myforevergreen.org.
• Fair Trade’s Theo Chocolate: It's not only good for you — it's good for the environment. Their historic Seattle factory is sustained by green energy sources. Find it at Whole Foods or any local supermarket.
• Xocai Nuggets: The cream of the chocolate crop. It’s made from dark Belgian chocolate with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Each nugget has an antioxidant content of a whopping 3,120. Buy it at mxicorp.com.
