Super food: Cacao

A nice read on why do we need to be critical on what type of ”chocolates” should we be consuming.

Several decades ago, in what now seems like some form of dark age, chocolate was categorized as candy: something loaded with sugar and devoid of nutritional value. A treat to be enjoyed sparingly. But luckily...keep reading

Formulating a recipe for Diabetic and Keto Diet Friendly Non-Sugar Sweetened Dark Chocolate Candy is a big challlenge.

I am deeply challenged and inspired by my 88-year old Mother who has been diagnosed for Diabetes Type-II more than 45 years ago. Having the familial tendency to get the same condition is quite high in my case since this condition is present in both of my parents’ families.

I can also attest that going on a low-sugar, low-carbohydrate diet, such as the Keto Diet has its benefits. I lost a significant amount of weight since I have made my choice few years back(though falling off the horse’s saddle is also true) I was able to keep my Fasting Blood Sugar at a normal level in a consistent manner.

Hopefully, I will be able to mix the right proportions of chocolate liqour, cocoa butter and sweetener to mimic that right Chocolate sweetness so as to take off that guilt-feeling of having a Melt-In-The-Mouth Dark Chocolate Candy “sin” that we always want to enjoy and relish.

Wish me good fortune!
