Dark chocolate
Dark chocolate is a form of chocolate which has a higher content of cocoa powder and less milk than other forms of chocolate. Government and industry standards of what products may be labeled "dark chocolate" vary by country and market.[1]
Noted for being high in antioxidants, such as polyphenols, and relatively low in sugar, it has gained a reputation as a healthier alternative to other types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate.[2][3] Dark chocolate has also been described as a potential superfood.[4][5][6] This has helped lead to a global increase in demand for dark chocolate.[7]
