So it can only use cocoa instead of fat to make chocolate. After all, many people's consumption concept now is that the price is acceptable and the price is unacceptable. No matter how good it is, I won't buy your things.
Good chocolate is made of cocoa and cocoa butter. Every100g of pure chocolate can provide people with more than 470 kilocalories. In addition to preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, chocolate can also relieve mood and stress, which can help people concentrate. You can put some chocolates in the office at work. When you are stressed, eat one or two to relax and replenish your energy.
Chocolate has many advantages and the price is not cheap. An important reason is that cocoa beans, an important raw material for making chocolate in China, are almost all imported, which is expensive and costs tens of thousands of yuan per ton. Cocoa beans have to be processed after they are bought, and then they can be turned into cocoa butter and cocoa powder for chocolate. So a palm-sized chocolate in the supermarket costs more than ten yuan.
But making chocolate with cocoa butter is different. Cocoa butter substitute is a processed product of vegetable oil such as palm oil, and the cost of making chocolate with it is only half of that of cocoa butter chocolate. If it is only to reduce costs, that is a good thing. Crucially, replacing cocoa butter is not good for human health.
Cocoa butter substitutes contain a lot of trans fatty acids. Regular intake of trans fatty acids will increase the probability of cardiovascular disease. At the same time, trans fatty acids may also increase the burden on the kidneys and affect people's intellectual development, especially for diabetic patients and children.
According to the national standard, the content of cocoa butter in chocolate should not exceed 5%. If it exceeds this figure, it is necessary to indicate on the package that "cocoa butter replaces chocolate". Therefore, when you buy chocolate, you should look at the packaging very carefully.
