Extended data:

Dark chocolate is the favorite of people who like to taste "original chocolate", because there is no or only a small amount of milk and sugar is usually low. The fragrance of cocoa will not be masked by other flavors. After melting in the mouth, the fragrance of cocoa will overflow between the teeth for a long time. Some people even think that eating dark chocolate means eating real chocolate.

Usually high-grade chocolate is dark chocolate, which has the taste of pure cocoa. Because cocoa itself is not sweet or even bitter, dark chocolate is not very popular with the public. Eating dark chocolate can improve the body's antioxidant level, thus helping to prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes and hypoglycemia.

White chocolate is white because it contains no cocoa powder, only cocoa butter and milk. This kind of chocolate has only the fragrance of cocoa, and its taste is different from that of ordinary chocolate. Some people don't classify it as chocolate (maybe it should be called milk magic). White chocolate tastes sweet because of its low cocoa content and high sugar content.
