Chocolate without cocoa is a new step in the kitchen for everyone
The search for substitutes for traditional foods continues to surprise us. From the meatless burgers to smoothies without milk, there is more and more variety of choice for consumers.
This time it was the turn of the king of desserts: chocolate no longer needs cocoa to be made. And it is that since WNWN Food Labs They bring us a variant that omits the main ingredient of all life. In the search to cover new markets and meet the needs of the whole world, from the United Kingdom comes High Choc.
High Choc it's chocolate, but a chocolate without cocoa. We didn't believe it either, but the result is very similar to what a person would expect from a substitute. It is a new food that will help many of us find alternatives when it comes to eating.
A more sustainable chocolate
Made with fermented barley and carob, High Choc promises a flavor very similar to that of traditional chocolate. The company that has developed it explains that the idea was born to meet the global demand for chocolate in an environmentally friendly way.
Its production produces about 80% less CO2 emissions. This is thanks to the abundance of raw material, which contrasts sharply with the availability of cocoa. In the same way, the reduction of sugars and additives in your recipe helps make its manufacture much easier.
To create it, they use the traditional fermentation techniques that are also used in the creation of cocoa chocolate. Besides, High Choc It does not contain caffeine and its sugar content is much lower than its traditional version.
Once the barley is fermented, it is mixed with carob, a food that has always been closely linked to culinary alternatives. Both ingredients together create a product whose taste has nothing to envy to the king of desserts.
The result is a simple product similar to its reference food. However, there are a number of elements that differentiate both types of chocolate.
The differences with traditional chocolate
We all know that traditional chocolate offers many benefits its consumers despite its high content of sugar and calories. It is used in cardiovascular disease prevention diets due to the fats it provides. At the same time, it is good for the brain by helping to stimulate blood flow.
There are also reasons to keep chocolate out of our diet, especially because of the large number of processed foods that add it to their recipe. Or also the high percentages of sugar that accompany cocoa to reduce its bitterness.
The main difference between this cocoa-free chocolate and traditional chocolate is that High Choc does not offer the same nutritional values in terms of content of antioxidants, flavonoids and other nutrients. However, this does not have to be a negative thing. By not containing cocoa, people who were intolerant to this product will now be able to enjoy its flavor without seeing their health compromised.
Cocoa-free chocolate is an alternative for everyone
The company is aware of this and is already looking for alternative markets for the product. The animal market is still one of the most attractive alternatives. High Choc is a excellent treat to give to dogs, since they cannot eat the original product due to its high theobromine content, which can make them blind.
It can also be an alternative for people who enjoy foods with cocoa on a daily basis, but are forced to reduce it in your diet. In this way they can continue to enjoy a taste almost identical to traditional chocolate without the disadvantages of cocoa.
At the moment, this May 18 the company will launch High Choc to the market in your official page. The price will be similar to that of dark chocolate, although they are already working on reducing manufacturing costs so that it is cheaper than its traditional counterpart.
And you? Would you include this food in your diet from now on?
