Eating chocolate is no longer what it used to be. Until a few years ago we did not worry about turning the tablet over to find out the ingredients. We hated dark chocolate when we were little, and we always associated it with "being on a diet." Luckily, this mindset is changing to bring us closer to healthier and just as delicious versions.
Today we show you the best chocolates from Mercadona, both for their nutritional value and for being number 1 in sales. If you are a lover of sweets or want to give a different touch to your diet, get hold of them.
Mercadona pure cocoa
Pure defatted cocoa powder is a leader in sales, both for making recipes and for taking it in the form of "colacao". We find 100% cocoa chocolate powder with no added sugar. It is perfect for making homemade cakes, chocolate creams or chocolate to the cup.
It is not necessary to stop taking your morning cocoa, you just have to use this version to notice a more intense and sugar-free flavor. I assure you that it is a real delight.
Chocolate 85%
One of the best versions of tablet chocolates is this 85% cocoa. It was one of the first "healthy" options that we found in Mercadona, so it is normal that you find many more varieties now. Its first ingredient is cocoa paste, which is what really interests us.
You will also find it in the form of individual mini chocolates, perfect to put in your backpack and have a snack on the way to work.
Chocolate 85% without added sugars
Although the previous option is healthy, this one takes the cake. Despite containing the same amount of cocoa, its second ingredient is cocoa butter (instead of sugar). In addition, it contains sweetener to give it a sweet touch.
If you are looking for a cocoa that melts without burning, and is quite intense, this is yours!
Chocolate 99%
Finally, the 99% cocoa is the one that takes the palm. It is true that you must get used to its taste, since it is not as sweet as the previous ones, but it is delicious. I do not recommend that you use it in recipes (unless they specify this degree of purity), because it is extra fine and does not leave the desired value.
It only contains cocoa paste, cocoa powder and cocoa butter. Without added sugar or sweeteners, so we only find 1 gram of sugar naturally present.
